Hi all. I tried LMS and piCorePlayer for the first time yesterday. It
seems I timed it well, as I like to use docker to manage software like
LMS. Once I'd discovered the official image it all went fairly smoothly
(Google isn't giving the page on docker hub enough visibility yet).

The only problem I had was the feeling that my container wasn't running
LMS at bootup. Port 9000 wasn't open for a while as there was a delay
while the start-container script ran chown on /lms. So for a while I was
trying to debug it, and had I not known how might have concluded it was
flaky, rather than busy.

A message on stdout explaining you should wait (it'd show up in the
docker logs) would fix that though.

I'm seriously impressed with the architecture (hats off to Logitech for
that I guess), and the fact that everything just works. It did take me a
few hours to work out what the moving parts are, but once I'd worked
that out it was fairly smooth.

So thanks all, it's a cracking project.

I'm also very pleased that piCorePlayer runs so well on my old model B+
pi. I bought it years ago to build a streamer but didn't really enjoy
Rune or Volumio, and when Volumio stopped booting I stopped using it and
haven't had a streamer in my hi-fi for years!

So this is all rather exciting. Next step is to investigate what to
build to get other players in my other rooms... :-)
