![]() There's a (small) chance that SQ may improve, too, since the Pi now has reduced load, only having to run squeezelite and jivelite. It's very easy to implement -īut here's another option - disable LMS on your Pi, and instead run it on the server which contains your music library. of course it might be worth checking on the slimdevices forum that the LMS application will respond gracefully in this circumstance.įailing this, yes, a shutdown button may be the next best option. If one of the options in the applet is for full shutdown of the Pi, this should be OK, because running Linux applications are supposed to close when the Linux operating system shuts down. ![]() LMS can be shut down from the piCorePlayer web interface of a connected computer, and of course you would prefer to avoid this.īut I understand that jivelite should include an applet dedicated to piCorePlayer functions, and this applet should include various power-down options. I have two rasberry pi's (one in mothballs) so may try two offical supplies, one for touchscreen and one for pie and see if I can hear any changes.Ĭlick to expand.OK, understand. So now I'm looking for a low cost liner 5V 3-4 Amp power supply. I don't want to pass judgment on any piece of equipment while knowing its underpowered. In all fairness, the official raspberry pi power supply is struggling, I get the dreaded lighting bolt on the 7" touch screen during a library scan, and on/off at startup. This is only after listening through a few songs. The only difference now is while base is full, it seams like its not as deep. The sound is more spacious and separated, highs are satisfying. Universal Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows. It was originally based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath, in order to ensure greater stability and file compatibility. It is capable of sharing video, audio and images between most modern devices. I wound up getting the allo one, and it sounds like some of the missing magic is back. Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server. While my power is reasonably reliable it does go down once or twice a year. Yes, LMS can run 24x7 on Pi, but should be shut down gracefully i hear. I have the Rasberry Pi running piCorePlayer and LMS. As you don't have a Squeezebox anymore it might be refreshing to move on. The main points of RPI are low price, the very good support but it needs many a HAT to do audio jobs a good Audiofanman: if you could drop the hard LMS requirement there would be even more choice. The whole issue is that RPI, while being a non audio platform, is adored as THE audio platform while there fortunately still is choice. It is well supported by Volumio despite not many seem to know it. It consumes less than 3W under load and knows no overheating issues. The Cubox has Toslink and eSATA, no mediocre audio DAC (no DAC at all ), very fast Ethernet, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, an IR receiver, RTC and is only 50 x 50 mm. Then it is not only the cell phone but also the audio set a rat race of being in a loop of updates etc. If the hardware system choice solely defines what software someone can/should run then one is caught in a forced relationship. ![]() Besides that the Cubox is meant to be kept powered on so it is not even a real drawback. I run the latest 2.875 version of Volumio on Cubox 4p devices and they boot in less than a minute and they are snappy. My $ prefs = preferences ( 'plugin.That is relative.
