Reuse-repurpose-recycle - Bromf - 21-Feb-2020
Got some old hardware that is too too old and crippled to run Snakeoil ?? but you would like to use it to extend the 'Zones" ?
With Snakeoil and LMS as the server you can use this code to run a player
https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-based/349337-squeezecore-minimal-audio-os-running-squeezelite.htmlRequirements
- RAM: 128MB (128 MB !!! every thin client ever... )
- CPU: 32bit or 64bit, every CPU is ok, it can run on a toaster too (No, tried the toaster...
)
- USB flash drive: 32MB (yes, old old old
)
- An ethernet port
- A monitor for first setup (optional)
- A keyboard for first setup (optional)
- A computer running Logitech Media Server ( Your Snakeoil !!
HMMM... why can't I set Snakeoil as the server and another device as the remote player..? Used to work
Can no longer select to run an external client player ???

Wow, that is a lite install! Wonder how the sound compares to something like picoreplayer? I'll definately have to try this when I get some time. I love minimalism!

Edit:
Still working AFAICT.

Yikes.! My error...too many devices connected for testing and on 24/7 ....forgot I was running the Raspberry pi version..(RPi4 beta) which seems only to run MPD and not LMS ??
Killed the RPi and started the x86 Snakeoil and so far so good...
