[slim] Could not get USB drive to work
I have installed Picorplayer on Allo digione signature, I have tried hours to setup the usb drive, but failed. I use macbook pro to do the setup, followed every step I could find on the internet, I just cannot get Digione to work with USB external hard drive, the error message is: "the operation can't be completed because the original item for Picoreplayer can't be found." Can someone help me to solve this problem?

Re: [slim] Favourites. How to organise in Material Skin (Chromebook)
I think there was something screwed with my system. I stopped LMS and renamed favourites.opml. When LMS started it created a new one and I mostly copied the contents of the old one into it. Then everything was fine and I now have nice neat favourites, which I shall use in vengeance over the next few days. One of the good things about having Omicron is you don't have to do a damned thing. So I am just lazing around listening to all the music I hold that I've never got around to listening to. And favourites make good bookmarks. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. 36915 +---+ |Filename: Favourites.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36915| +---+ Take care of your tongue.

Re: [slim] Favourites. How to organise in Material Skin (Chromebook)
It works for me on my Chromebook. I have never created a Folder in Favourites before, but I did so (Just for you). I dragged and dropped and item into the folder then realised I didn't know how to take it out - but there is a menu to return a favourite to the parent folder. That worked too. I have about 20 favourites - all Classical Music Radio Stations. I have them on my home screen with the two top items being Albums and Genres - that covers most of my present needs with some convenience. 36902 The Material Skin is so flexible - it can meet all our needs. +---+ |Filename: Screenshot 2022-01-18 19.41.38.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36902| +---+ Brian In UK: rPi4 running LMS, Chromecast Audio Dongle and Chromecast Video Dongle attached to TV - Beresford DAC - Quad 77 Integrated Amp - AVI Neutron 4 Speakers - Sennheiser HD25 Headphones.

Now, though, my PC is 15 years old and has run out of steam, and even with an SSD installed to try to speed it up it is no longer fit for purpose. Windows on an inadequate machine was causing me problems, not LMS on Windows; so last week I jumped ship to a Raspberry Pi 4 to run LMS. It uses a lot less power than a PC and costs a lot less to buy! I will keep the old PC for now and wind it up only when I must use Windows - that will not be often, says he typing on one of the latest Chromebooks.

Although I am running LMS for years now on a customized barebone PC with Linux, the most straightforward way of running it these days is indeed piCorePlayer however. A self installed, customized system is IMO a poweruser solution and more suited for specific use cases (like mine). Running it on a RPI also has advantages because of the power consumption compared to running it on a PC or NAS btw. *Living Room:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ Pro & piCorePlayer *Attic:* RPI2+HifiBerry DAC+ RCA & piCorePlayer *Other rooms:* 6x SB Radio *LMS*: Version 8.2.0 on Xubuntu 21.10 zordaz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Out of curiousity,I got a CORE32 at launch price which was better value. It sits there working, no maintenance, updates happen by themselves. As a tinkerer, I am little annoyed it doesn;t have the latest updates and worry what happens if Polyvection disappears - that said I have now unused old Odroid and Cubie boards which suffered from similar issues. It is a conservative solution for user who want absolutely nothing to do. Why do people pay for windowcleaners ? For someone who wants to set up an LMS system for an elderly parent/relative - it probably provides "peace of mind" at a small once off price. It is probably a "long tail" solution for a small number of users . Polyvection may have got their business case a bit wrong before launch (and/or chip shortage) which resulted in the now higher price than they first announced. They have included their own RTOS (for their own h/w design) so that means some ongoing extra port/test costs and also may explains few updates. It is good there is now a selection of very usable solutions available for users - each of which has pros/cons : Polyvection, Max2play, Picoreplayer, Raspbian, Windows etc. The choice is the best for years - especially when I remember the early attempts of a cheap LMS on the NLSU2 (nicknamed Slug for a a good reason) bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115782 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Lms
"Best" is very subjective of course - but I've run LMS and Squeezebox arrays on Windows (currently Win11) with very, very few problems, for many, many years. Maybe I'm that "lucky customer" but I've had very, very few general Windows hiccups at all, in any regard, over 20+ years. BTW, we are a Win / Mac / Linux household, so I have cross-platform experience! And I stand by Windows as, overall, as good as any. Horses for courses, of course.
