Information on LMS state would be queried from the server cli via IP (e.g "echo command | nc server:9000”). For other things you'd use vgencmd to get pi temp data, or grab some code that pulls weather data from an internet service or something. Or even get a cheap hat/am2320 sensor and measure it

[SlimDevices: Unix] 16x2 LCD info for LMS?

2018-03-09 Thread bvlet
With some great help from this forum I managed to set up a few rPi's and also an LMS, all based on piCorePlayer. All the players have 7" or 3,5" touch screens, but the server has none. I thought it would be nice to have a small 16*2 or 20*4 LCD screen on the server case with the ability to show

I am running piCorePlayer on a wired Pi3 as a dedicated LMS with FLACs on a NAS via NFS. No issue with Spotty but I think I have found a limitation of the hardware. If I ask LMS (via the web interface) to display "Albums with small artwork" it kills playback until the search has completed. This is

Happens with both squeezebox touch & squeezelite. Was 10 seconds with raspbian, so I should be happy now :/ Running on pCP behind a slowish 10Mbps connection a skip usually takes a bit more than one second here. It will play a playlist just fine, when a song ends the next one loads immediate
