Yes, but you would need to attach a screen, and install Jivelite, thus .

Yes, two years is probably about right. Hey, it gives a retired guy like
me something to get tripped up on, which is good.

I'm very honked off at my SB Duet right now and don't even want to look
at it. I do look forward to the piCorePlayer on a Pi. But I'm thinking
maybe I may want to use a remote other than the SB Duet Controller.

So I looked at some posts and came across the likes of this: "you can
add a small IR receiver to the GPIOs on the Pi you might need an extra
resistor"

Yikes. Maybe I should keep the SB Controller.

Re: [slim] Machine to use for LMS and Duet

2021-06-27 Thread anglecard48


Thanks to all of you again. I went back and reread all of the comments
and I think I am beginning to get this. The Raspberry pi and the Dell
Wyse are great suggestions. As I mentioned, I'll go the Raspberry pi /
piCorePlayer and I won't worry about connection to mysb. I'll keep the
Duet Controller.

I have been rather old school with my audio set up -- my amplifier is
early 1970's -- so I do have some work to do to get hip to the new
technologies. Some of the lingo baffles me, eg: "client", "hat", "run
ffs" etc. So as I get into my Raspberry pi / piCorePlayer launch you may
see me back here again seeking your help.

As Billy Strayhorn said "ever onward and upward."

Thanks again.

my defense of the duet receiver was strictly for non critical listening
(extra room, etc). I do still like the controller despite phone/pad
control apps. 

I prefer to use pcP as strictly LMS is for location considerations only
My pCP server is sitting next to my router with players (touch,
squeezeamp, radios, and yes receivers) located throughout the house.

If you can set things up with your pCP (I prefer ethernet) adjacent to
your kit, by all means, add a hat or go to a USB DAC and put the
receiver in a box.

As you already have a Topping D30.

Get LMS going on your "replacement device", using whatever OS you
prefer.

Get comfortable with it. Your system should function as does today.

After a while, as a no cost option, plug the Topping D30 into the
"replacement device". See if there is a change in sound quality.

I found a Duet not as good as a RPi with a DAC hat, but I haven't tested
a Duet with an external DAC, it may be as good or even better??

PiCorePlayer is an operating system specifically designed to be an LMS
sever and a player, you don't need any other operating system for the
Pi.

I use Pi USB > Topping E30 DAC > active speakers.

You don't need your receiver part of the Duet, you can use your
controller part of the Duet to control piCorePlayer (all one word).

Connecting your piCorePlayer to mysqueezebox.com is iffy, I don't think
you would need mySB.com for anything other than Tidal.

Yes' you would set up the Raspberry Pi using a web browser on any
machine connected to your network, you don't need to connect a screen,
mouse, keyboard to your Pi.

Thanks all of you. I have ordered a Raspberry Pi and will dive into the
install and enjoyment next week I hope.

I'd like and really appreciate your comments.

Could I impose once more? I just want to summarize and have you check to
see if I understand all this correctly.

- I have an SB Duet in my living room (main listening room).
- I do not have a PC to dedicate 24/7 in my main listening room (hifi
system) to run LMS and need to remedy that situation.
- I really only listen to streaming audio via Pandora and Internet radio
stations (maybe a one-day-in-the-future task will be to digitize my LPs
and stream them off a hard drive)
-The Raspberry pi is the ideal hardware device (small, cool, quiet,
capable, ships today, and inexpensive) that can work to operate my LMS
with my Duet
But...
-piCore Player is a higher-level application than the native Squeezebox
app that Duet uses, so I'll use piCore Player instead and will use my
Duet only as a remote.

I believe I can use my laptop's monitor and keyboard to set up my
Raspberry pi via plugging into my router and looking up Raspberry pi IP
address on the router. So I won't need a Raspberry keyboard and
monitor.

- There is a Raspberry pi OS and OS lite that is available from
raspberrypi.org. It seems that one uses a micro sd card to get a
download app from pc to Raspberry pi.
- Once Raspberry pi is plugged in and operational, I will download LMS
from Logitech Squeezebox and install it on the Raspberry pi.
NOTE: one respondent instructed that: "If you want your server PC to
also be a player, you install the "Local Player" plugin." I don't
exactly know what that means.
- Once the server is running, I'll download, install, and configure my
piCorePlayer to "use this instance of LMS as its server" (I don't
exactly know what that last part in quotes means).
- piCore Player will appear on my LMS as a Squeezelite player called
piCorePlayer

Question 1: will I need my Squeezebox receiver? 
Question 2: Currently I am not able to connect my SB Duet Receiver or
Controller to mysb. I have a post on the Duet stream. Will that cause
problems when I attempt tp go the piCore Player route? 
Question 3: Currently I use a Topping DAC. Would I line into that DAC
from my Raspberry pi? Or does Raspberry pi line in to the SB receiver
and then line into the Topping DAC?

My system consists of:
Turntable -- ProJect
CD Player -- Rotel
Streamer -- SB Duet (LMS on MacBook Air when available)
DAC -- Topping D30
Preamp -- Reference Line Preeminence One 
Amp -- SAE Mark 31B

I also like the controllers as a good "now playing" and "pickup to
control" for secondary rooms (workshop, garage etc.)

I am still using my receivers in these secondary noncritical listening
rooms, but only via ethernet, my days of tackling receiver wifi issues
are over.

A Dell/Wyse thin client is a good option too IMO. Great deal right now

That would rule out picoreplayer but it's x86_64, pick your distro of

If you go the Raspberry Pi route, I'd use a DAC hat or a USB DAC on the
RPi and get rid of the SB Duet.

The SB controller still makes a very good remote control for the RPi.

I, like many here, use a rpi running picoreplayer as a LMS server only.
That is, squeezelite disabled.

I have identical two systems, each on a rpi 3b+ with a USB HDD, and use
Samba and freefilesync to manage a mirror of my music library (on my PC)
on the rpi HDD. So, when I add a new "album" to my library I just run
ffs, and rescan LMS.

Like Paul mentioned, about $60USD, then add $50USD for a HDD or more if
SS HDD

Jim

PS - A little off topic, but I also use the rpi/HDD as a backup for me
PC files, also using ffs. That is, my photos, documents, etc. So, for
your $ you also get another backup for your important files.

What is the optimum operating system for this option? Would a Raspberry

Linnux?

I once set up an old 386 PC by installing a Linnux (Ubuntu lite) OS. It

Re: [slim] Machine to use for LMS and Duet

2021-06-25 Thread Paul Webster


A Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB memory, plus micro SD card, power supply and
probably a case - total price around 60USD + taxes
Although you might need to pay a bit more to get 4GB because finding new
2GB models is hard.

An alternative is the soon to ship Core32 from Polyvection - at around
175USD plus shipping

There are other ways to do it of course.
