Roon Bridge / CIFS

[edwardlon]

Hi there

I'm trying out Snakeoil to see if better (improved/different?) SQ than Windows 10 for Roon Bridge.

Roon Core is on a Windows 10 machine which I'm not proposing to change.  That feeds various Roon end points, one in particular to my main system. End point is a Intel® Celeron® CPU J1900 with RAAT (Roon Bridge) installed under Windows 10 Pro.

Wanting to change this Windows instance to Snakeoil.

Have installed Snakeoil on a new SDD on the J1900 device, updated to  1.1.7 (Blind Testing U7)  and working just fine.  Accessing via browser via http://192.168.1.148/#/pages/dashboard etc.

However I'm unclear on install of Roon Bridge.

From the Snakeoil Wiki I see:

https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Threa...RoonBridge

However in Roonlabs I see a different process.

see:  http://kb.roonlabs.com/LinuxInstall

Confused.

Also, just for testing, I try to mount a CIFS mount (to the Windows machine holding my music) in the format \\server\Music (with username and password) however I get an error message saying not possible in trial mode.  Or somesuch message.

Appreciate any feedback on these two points (Roon Bridge and CIFS) please. Only testing things now.  Do I need to 'donate' to enable things?  Can I donate a small amount for a limited period (so I can test things properly)?

cheers
