I am a very happy user of piCorePlayer for a few months now - it is nice to notice the progress, and I am in the process of ordering a HifiBerry DAC to test. Thank you for all the effort.
One question, perhaps a bit off-topic, but I hope you can forgive me. I know that Logitech Media Server and Squeezelite player can co-exist on a Raspberry Pi like in the SqueezePlug distro for the Pi. I have several other computers with Logitech Media Server running, but sometimes it would be just great with a light weight alternative to bring e.g. to a party with friends and relatives. My question is therefore if it is possible to run Logitech Media Server either on a separate Raspberry Pi or co-existing with piCorePlayer and make it unpluggable like the piCorePlayer? I mean, you just plug in the power supply, the distro loads itself into RAM and LMS performs a scan of the media on any USB sticks or USB hard drives present? It would require that the database(s) could fit into the RAM of the Pi, but that would not be a problem for a "party mix", I guess. I have tried to find out if others had addressed this problem, and I see that others have worked with Raspbian as a basis. I have tried the Volumio beta version for Pi, but I do not find it ideal, e.g. I have to add my local radio stations manually, it does not presently support my USB WiFi dongle, etc. I very much like the idea of a tiny core and a distro that does not add wear to the SD card. I would be courious (and willing to contribute by testing etc.) if somebody was tempted at trying this idea either as a separate project or as something that could co-exist with piCorePlayer on the same SD card. And please point me to start another thread if this is too much off-topic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jens Erik Jensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62736 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
