I 've got everything running like a dream. Jivelite with nice
wallpapers... sound quality through my HiFiberry is exquisite. It was a
lot of work but I'll tell you about the week of a total Linux newbie
getting things perfect...

1. Logitech Media Server does not currently run on Raspbian Stretch.
Don't even try it. You will get very upset.

2. If you want dual boot, then you can't use PiCorePlayer. They've told
me they aren't interested in it. However, for me... with my very
inaccessible setup, changing SD cards is not an option. I need a proper
Debian environment so that I can have all the software that finds and
downloads music files, artworks etc... I'd prefer if it were all in one
place but like I say, you can't put LMS on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running
Stretch.

3. For dual boot, Berryboot is awesome. It shares some config across
different distros... which is essential when, like me, your Pi touch
screen is mounted *upside down*. Berryboot takes care of that.
Unfortunately PiCorePlayer doesn't support it, so I couldn't try it.

4. So, if you want to install LMS on a Pi 3B+ dual boot, you need to get
Max2Play. They have a Berryboot img file that installs perfectly. Then
you have to navigate their pretty confusing menus that are constantly
berating you for not having bought premium membership... not knowing if
the options you have just selected have been executed because you hadn't
paid. Note: If you want Jivelite installed through their interface, you
have to pay. Unfortunately you can't pay without either having or
creating a PayPal account.

5. So a good option is to follow John Hagensieker's guide to install
Jivelite on Raspian Wheezy/Jessie... although you're going to do it on
Max2Play, and it isn't so straight forward because certain config files
are different. But if I can do it, anyone can :D
