I've been a long time user of LMS on a Synology NAS. Now that Synology
has ended support for LMS, I've decided to go for piCore LMS on RPi4B.
Never having used a RPi before I found the process of installing pretty
straightforward. Mainly thanks to all the information I found on this
forum. Of course not everything went smoothly, but that's never the
case, I suppose.
Some observations on the process.
Setting the fixed ip address from within piCore looked rather complex.
I just checked the box in my router administration panel. That does
the job for me. Perhaps this option could be mentioned in the manual
as an alternative.
I had al lot of trouble connecting an extern folder (that's on my
NAS). In the end I discovered that the problem was, that my username
on the NAS has a space in it. piCore doesn't seem to be able to handle
that. After I added a dedicated LMS user on my NAS without any spaces
in its name, the connection succeeded.
Initially I resized the filesystem to 300 MB as the manual prescribes.
That proved way to low; the scanning process froze and so did the
system. After setting the filesystem to 2000 MB, LMS was ok. Usage
after the scan process and a day's usage is around 750 MB. I have
around 50.000 tracks on the NAS and next to that a rather long list of
favourites on Qobuz.
Apart from this I have a problem of my RPi shutting down at different
intervals. I'm pretty sure that's a hardware problem, though. The
connection of the PSU with the USB-c port feels a bit wobbly. Couldn't
find anything on that in the forums, so I guess I'm alone with this
problem.
