I think you might be overestimating what's involved to setup PiCorePlayer on an rpi running LMS, with your NAS mounted. pCP is GUI based and if all goes well, if setting up just a LMS server, you should be up quite quickly. For those experienced in building them, < 1 hour. It seems that mounting the drives can get tricky for some. I use a USB HDD no problem. Check out the "getting started" page: https://docs.picoreplayer.org/getting-started/ there are also a few videos on youtube you can take a peek at to see what's involved. There is also the power consumption advantage to consider I went from having my win 7 machine have to be on in order to listen to music to pcP running 24/7. I measured the power difference once, but forgot where I put those notes :rolleyes: Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116263 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
