First impressions: Running LMS and Squeezelite seem to provide only a very light load to the 4B. CPU temperature seems to be dominated by the ambient temperature and limited airflow inside my amplifier enclosure. So with the amplifier powered up and playing music from Squeezelite, the CPU sits in the mid- to high-60s. I can easily get it into the low 70s by doing something more demanding, like transcoding a FLAC album with oggenc, but for the majority of the time when it's just being a server and a player the temperature seems under control. I realise this is not an ideal environment for a device that may be marginal on heat, and I may end up swapping the 3B+ back in, but the extra responsiveness of the server, quicker library scans, and even the faster reboots are all nice to have. I suppose I don't really need the server to be running on this device, so I could even put an older Pi in there and just run Squeezelite on it, and run LMS on the 4B externally, but my target was always to have an all-in-one integrated amp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110727 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
