I was wondering if anyone was going to ask that. 😉 All my music is on a hard drive connected to my old Netgear NeoTV550 media player and mounted as a Samba share on the rPi B+ that is running LMS. I wanted to do some realtime a/b listening tests between the same 24/96 FLAC file playing thru HDMI on the Neo at 24/96 and on the rPi via Squeezelite/alsa at 16/96 by simply switching inputs on my Denon AVR. In order to avoid potential thrashing problems with both players accessing the same files concurrently, I copied a few of the files from the Neo drive to a local directory on the rPi and added that directory as an LMS media folder. Since the songs in that directory were already in the library, I didn't want them to be re-scanned. For my testing, I can still access them via "My Music/Music Folders" option in LMS. So overall, the local media folder serves as a staging/test area and it works well for my purposes. Btw, so far my a/b testing has not convinced my ears that it's worth building a custom kernel with a modified bcm2835-pcm.c to enable 24-bit audio passthru via HDMI, although I might do it anyway just out of curiosity. -Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamY's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63495 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113390 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
