I bookmarked this post by dsdreamer a while back: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104744-SOA-alternatives/page2 and have used it to set up multiple Wandboard Quads for myself and others since. The process is pretty straightforward, though you'll need to know how to log on via ssh. It's not mentioned in the post, but after you get Debian initially running, you'll need to fully update it from the command line via ssh: Code: -------------------- sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -------------------- The update will take a few minutes, after which you should reboot. Then you can go ahead and install Squeezelite and LMS. The only thing I haven't figured out how to do is get it to transcode DSD to PCM. Either the necessary components don't run on a Wandboard or I don't know how to properly install them. That aside, it's been completely stable and reliable. I'm unaware of any all-in-one image you can download for the Wandboard, but if you're interested in switching to a Raspberry Pi, Max2Play is probably exactly what you're looking for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105587 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
