As far as I know just native filesystems depending on the client and whatever qualifies as a Windows Network Fileshare. The all-in-one Roon package is only for Win/MacOS. I didn't want to start complicating things. > I've seen a RPi based media player that supported sftp. That would be > an easy and secure way. chrooted user, sftp access. Yeah but I don't need another media player and having to sftp each file to play it is unmanageable. foobar2000 on Windows is better than anything else until now for this purpose because nothing that runs on the Pi can use the device drivers for my audio hardware, it's all Windows-only. What Roon does is cooperate with Roon-enabled devices and you can direct music to play on them. It works. > > > I have my Windows foobar2000 appliance roped-off from my LAN > > because I > > don't trust Windows boxes on my network.

It is kinda complicated and I just started looking into it. There are a few pieces. I am running the whole thing on Windows. The Android and ios versions are display and controller apps but the media is hosted somewhere else. On Windows and Mac you can host and control from one device. On Linux I think you can't do everything either, just host the data. The media is already living on OpenBSD. I guess one option would be to try to get Linux running in a VM under OpenBSD, if it's possible to access data outside the VM. Then I could use anything for a Roon controller clien. > > > way to serve the files to Windows from OpenBSD.

But for music playback there isn't any real option since all the device drivers are for Windows only. Some of the work somewhat on Mac or Linux but mostly not very well and not all the features are there. /jl
