Hi, I just tried that link and it played on my Transporter (running LMS 8.1.2 on rPi). I did notice that everytime I stopped, then restarted the station, it would show about 3 seconds of nothing, then start over at 0. But when it started over, it played fine and showed 128kbps AAC stream. It a

Great news. Enjoy. Two reminders. Because you're running LMS, you need to do an "orderly" shutdown if you turn off the rPi (and keep in mind that I keep mine on 24/7 for months at a time, but sometimes want to shut down, remove the USB drive, and do some updating (because I don't use SAMBA). T

Your screen shots are not attached. I think you're issue is in the mounting of the USB drive in piCorePlayer. But the screen shots showing that mounting will be useful to diagnose. p.s. You don't need new SD cards if you need to start over. You can rewrite a new piCorePlayer image to the existi

Improving upon the sound quality with that setup would be virtually impossible. I do like some of the features of piCorePlayer 7.0 (but none of these have to do with sound quality). And that's easy to update to in any case with your current hardware. *Home:* Pi4B-8GB/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Tra
