v0.1.4 (pre-release beta testing) [Updated: 15 May 2016]

Yes I was expecting that. But it everything was working ok in version 1.3 from what I remember.
Surely I have considered PXE booting but not sure if I have enough knowledge and time to get it working as it looks quite complicated.   I would love to have this option though as this would solve multiple problems at once!

That is in my todo list, not sure how to do it easily just yet.

 

What were your experiences with Audiophile Linux running from RAM?

It's ok I guess. I prefer Snakeoil .

 

I have tried the new firmware version 0.1.4 20160526 you created. Tnx!!!
The problem with the playlist got worse. Now I am not able to switch tracks within a playlist anymore in squeezelite while in the previous version I was unable to build a new playlist. Of course I understand that you haven’t designed Snakeoil to run form RAM like I do, so I am probably the only one facing this issue.

Not a lot of people are using Snakeoil at the moment, so that's probably why nobody else have this issue. Do you have a folder call playlists in /media/?

 

However have you tried the way I did (USB + casper-rw) yourself and compared the sound with a setup on SSD?  Very curious what your findings will be!

Not yet, once I have cleared all the todo list I'd start looking into this more earnestly, sorry for the delay.

Another questioni: What do you mean with " Filename has a new string, i686 for 32 bit firmware, and x86_64 for 64bit (Added: 26 May 2016) ". Are there 2 different versions available for download? I only see the i686 version.

I'm working on a 64 bit version of Snakeoil atm. hence have to make sure Snakeoil will not allow you to install 32 bit fw onto a 64 bit system and vice versa.

 

PS wouldn’t it be better to start a new tread for every new beta firmware version so the discussion is limited to that specific version? This will also make it easier to download previous versions of the software for comparison.

At the moment I only have 1GB of web storage, so have to do it this way. The beta firmwares are mostly unstable anyway so removing them with updated versions is good in a way as it stops the problem of fragmentation.

And there are not enough Snakeoil users to use seperate threads really.

Do agree it's messy though, will see if I can make it cleaner in the future.
