Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to put together a flexible root-access music server...and I think one-of-a-kind. I can see much time has gone into making this, so kudos!
I am using both Daphile and Snakeoil -- Snakeoil is definitely better audio quality! The clarity is quite startling.
That was obvious immediately. I have tried Volumio, and Libreelec too for a short while, and previously used foobar2000 as a server on Windows. Daphile seems to be a bit more mature and ready-to-go. Installation is just a little surer and fewer glitches, but of course its a 'closed' system. But because this is all about sound quality, I stick with Snakeoil OS.
I have been fooling around with music servers for some time since the days of Pogoplug!!
Some immediate notes:
1. Can I please get clear instructions for upgrading to v1.2.0? Running the script installer directly on the pre-existing Snakeoil v1.1.5, and then flashing 1.2.1 firmware causes the system to hang -- webapp does not start. I don't understand how one can do a fresh install with the script if there is no prior Ubuntu version on there, right? While using scp/ssh to send the script over etc. is easy, is this how one is expected to use the script? What about a clean install to remove the old version? Etc...
* A step-by-step would be very useful. Thanks.
2. I am on v1.1.5, since trying to flash higher versions leads to mpd errors I have not really gone above that version.
** What are the steps to fix mpd disconnected error? I see some threads with fw fixes for mpd, but they don't necessarily work.
3. My USB Sound card was recognized the very first time I set up Snakeoil. It was plug-n-play-- BUT now it just refuses to see the USB card at all. I have no clue why...The card is a Asus Xonar U7. I have a great Topping DAC, but I wish to get the soundcard working for personal reasons.
4. Is anyone using v1.2.1 ? How did you get past errors?
*I really want to get JRiver on this or even on v1.1.11.
5. I would like to make a small donation and 'activate'. If I use PayPal the activation email is which one? The PayPal email..? And where does the activation code come from.
Thanks again for the efforts here, and for reading the post. Hopefully with some answers I can be a happy camper!!
