Except when I'm experimenting with it for fun, my 'bone is used only to play music. I ran it headless when I was using MPD, but there are a lot of cautionary posts on the appropriate forums about having a monitor connected when booting JRiver Media Center - so I planned to leave an HDMI cable connected to one of the inputs on the nearest monitor but never use it (I access the program via JRemote on handhelds). However.....I've not tried using JRMC headless myself, and there seem to be many people doing this without difficulty.
I won't access my network via WiFi because USB is the only way for the music to get to the DAC, and sound quality can suffer when files are being brought in and out via the same USB. So I use eth0 to access my FLACs on NAS and leave wlan0 disabled. I think using the card with an expanded file system sounds like the best bet for me - I won't suffer serious emotional trauma from having to abandon my quest to use the MMC. :) On Wednesday, April 20, 2016 at 10:18:44 AM UTC-4, Graham wrote: > > You never said how you are running the BBB. > If you are running without a video display, local or remote, then you > don't need about half of what is in the full package. > Then you could load a minimum "console" package, which will only fill 1.7G > of your 4 G eMMC, then add in what else you need to run your application. > So, you would have about 2 GB of play space. > > If you have a video display you are better off going with the full > package.. > > --- Graham > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
