As a player, I'd stick with PiCorePlayer over Max2Play. As a LMS server, well, I'd get that off the Pi anyway. So my vote is for PcP. valnar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59626 View this

I've only used Max2play but for someone with absolutely no Linux knowledge found the website "how to" videos really helpful and the web interface / plugins intuitive. Emboldened by my first success of building a replacement SB I've gone on since to add another with Iqaudio DAC/amp and then a

I’ve been using pCp for a couple of years and it worked fine with an RPi2/Hifiberry Digi+ and LCD screen. I built a new system and case with a RPi3/Sabre ES9038 DAC and want an OLED to take over what the LCD did. I would like to know how Max2Play compares to piCorePlayer when a Linux novice wants

I agree. I have run LMS on a LMS only pCp with NFS mount to my QNAP but found that my SB3s would often show “unable to connect to server”. I put it down to the 100mb shared bus of the LAN on the Pi being a bit temperamental so switched back to a hacked VB2.4 installed on an SSD in a 16gb Ram HP

For SB replacement I would use pCP only. A machine will not perform anything and everything and stay in perfect sync at the same time. Plus if you install packages that use Alsa they might impact how the player works. Player role is rather specialised. To run LMS, the story is entirely

IMHO the biggest difference between pCP and m2p is that pCP does one thing (or two :-)) only, but does them well. Highly optimized, but difficult to customize. Whereas m2p is a generic Linux system with some customized packaging and UX to address a given use case, without limiting itself to

[slim] piCorePlayer or Max2Play - comparison?

2018-05-28 Thread Rainer Krug
Hi I hope I don’t start a flame war now… I am using piCorePlayer as LMS server which works fine (including own access point), but I am thinking: what would I gain, by using Max2Play? I know that one major advantage of Max2Play is, that I can run additional programs (from home automation to
