Again, a great video.
Right on time for me, just leaving my old trusted RPI2 as an LMS Server.
Great combination with pCP as players.
Have a great weekend.

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...

Thanks a lot for your vid's.
To jump to the beginning of the file in Nano, you can use Alt+\ or Ctrl+Home.
To jump to the end of the file you use Alt+/ or Ctrl+End.
Have a great day l

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.

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.

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?

[Eyerex]

Update if your using Bookworm one of the Additional Packages is removed as it's not needed anymore plus had to move Mount Point from /home/pi/music to /mnt/Music or LMS won't see it also had to update LMS from 8.3.1 to 8.4.0 nightly or it wouldn't load so see below for changes

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?

[kdeuler]

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.

Hi Eyerex, as usual very helpfull video but the link for downloading LMS is no longer valid.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
