I just setup a Classic together with a small JVC amp in a new room. Now
I noticed that the volume control on the JVC amp's remote also changes
the volume on the Classic. Is there a way to disable the volume setting
on the Classic or is it possible to set a fixed volume through LMS?

I also noticed, the LocalPlayer that comes ootb is called Player1. I can
rename it, but after every reboot, it's called Player1 again. Why? And

So, I have set up my VortexBox now. Instead of building a new box, I
reused an old ASRock ION 330 I found and upgraded it to 4 GB of RAM
instead of 2 GB and put in a 2 TB harddisk. So far, everything runs
smoothly. The only issue I have is with the Player (is it a
LocalPlayer?) that it offers. It

Thanks for that. I read in your footer that you run a box with 4TB. Is
that one drive or do you have several installed? I'm not familiar with
Fedora (VortexBox is based on it, no?), so I don't know about auto

In order to work you either need to run your own LMS server or log into
you MySqueezebox.com account. As far as I know, there is no LMS for
Android, so you can't play music stored in the box. At least not with
SqueezePlay.

Never did that myself, but in theory this should work: install
SqueezePlayer and one of those autostart apps, so that every time you
fire up the box it runs SqueezePlayer.

AFAIK there is an official case for the 7" - but there's no room for a
sound card/DAC. Then there is another case for the screen where the Pi
board sits on the back without casing. That works with DACs.
The latter look like this:
