Thanks Slartibartfast for the confirmation. When I will have time I will update the tutorial on the first page taking your updates into account. After 2 months of usage I can say that MusicIP and Spicefly Sugarcube are both running very well, fast and smooth on the Pi4, not long waiting times anymore. You could still increase the use of swap-space if you need more ram for importing (some installations do not have this ram problem, I do not know why...) One more nice addon for the MusicIP community: Charles, the author of Spicefly Sugarcube offers a key for MusicIP on his website (If you copy it to your homefolder/.MusicMagic you can get unlimited playlist length and binary moods... plus a lot more features for the windows version....) https://www.spicefly.com/article.php?page=musicip-key Cheers, Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frankd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106958 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
