Thanks much for this video! Question: Did you have any issues with power supplies for the Pi / DAC creating 50/60 cycle hum in the analog output? In general, do you recommend being careful about component quality to supply a HiFi signal to your amp? Thanks.
Don't have the most revealing Hi-Fi set (Yamaha A-S500 and a set of JPW Sonata speakers) but when using ever a HiFiBerry DAC or a Meridian Explorer 2 with a Raspberry Pi i've never heard and hum
@@Eyerex Good to know. Thx. And, sorry if I missed this, but how does one rip/copy music from CDs to the storage (in my case, a Samsung USB SSD)? I have a USB CD drive. Can this be done by connecting both the SSD and CD drives to the pi, then running ripping software? Thx again.
@@kdeuler Do you have a PC or Laptop as would use that to rip your CD's using software like Exact Audio Copy which is free or dbPowerAmp which you have to pay for and rip to Flac files but up to you if you want to use another format then move the music files to the USB drive
Ty for the video. After I tried to do as you showed, (which didn´t work for me,) I went back to Picoreplayer and installed LMS in about 15 minutes. What is the advantage of using Raspberry Pi OS if there is no other intended use for the Pi than just beeing a LMS?
Both are good way of going things and true it's easier just using Picoreplayer to install LMS but you then have a extra player on your network your not going to use plus i did have mine setup that way but i wanted to add other software to the Pi so swapped to using PiOS and just LMS and now also run a Plex and TVheadend server on the same Pi
@@Eyerex TY for the answer. Having other services run on that Pi is a good reason. But it is possible to disable autostart of squeezelite in the "Tweaks"-menu. So in my case i have just the LMS running and nothing else. For my use case and a noob like me, the perfect solution without SSH, Terminal etc. Have a good day.
Thanks for the video. I have a pi 4 that's running OMV6 and TvHeadend (pi os lite). Would it be possible to install picore and LMS on top of that and run all in one system instead of having my LMS on a different pi?
Hello not sure how you will run Picore as i think it uses tinycore linux but could be wrong as for the LMS it should be fine as it's how i have mine setup which i did the other day ie LMS and TVheadend running on the same Pi and not seen any problems when say playing music and when watching TV and recording at the same time , did also test having a Plex server on the same Pi as well and it seemed to work ok also but didn't want to risk messing with my Plex server if anything went wonky so went back to having it running on it's own Pi
Hi Eyerex, as usual very helpfull video but the link for downloading LMS is no longer valid. I'm trying to the best I can to reverse engineer your commands to download it from the lyrion site but with no succes. what should be the right command? I have RPI 3B+ Thank you

@@Eyerexthank you very much for the help. Will try this evening. If I get right i should install one or the other - the 8.5.2 stable or the 9.0 which is in development?
@@shapka78 I would go with 8.5.2 stable but i installed the 9.0.0 - Development Build the other day and it's working fine not seen any problems but you will see updates nearly everyday until it go's final plus i've not seen much difference between the two with general use other than it does feel like it scans your library faster
I'm a bit lost on the next steps when I'm trying to use an USB DAC in my PI (·3B+). I can't find the options to setup the USB DAC in the LMS menu or should i do this via SSH and linux commands? Thanks.
@@Eyerex I have server and player in the same PI. My intention is to just use Spotyfi Connect to send music from my Android phone to the PI. I can see the LMS as an available output in Spotify App in my phone, I can see the music playing in the app and under LMS at port 9000, unfortunately audio is not coming out of the HIFI system. Makes sense as i can't see where the USB DAC is configured. By the way USB DAC is a Sabaj D2 and I can see it listed if I run the command squeezelite -l. I assume I need to run some commands to configure the USB DAC, right?
@@prnavas It maybe easier to use Picoreplayer as it gives you a gui to set things up but have you tried setting up your DAC within the squeezelite configuration file think it's in /etc/default/squeezelite configuration file
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work any more! For the LMS installation, the command for the installation of additional required packages fails with "E: Unable to locate package libidn11", so the LMS cannot be installed. I tried changing part of the command to "...libidn12", which does seem to install something, but the setting up of the LMS fails anyway. At the last command I just get "Setting up logitechmediaserver (8.3.1) ...", then back to the command prompt, but nothing else happens...

I used Method 1 with my FritzBox 7490 and samba share was slower then using Method 2. So i guess it depends on which router you have.
