I've always run LMS on a headless Win10 server, mainly due to me being familiar with Windows and also the server runs some other Win based apps that I use.
However, I am becoming less and less convinced that this is the best platform, constant Win10 updates, bloated OS, inability of my current HW to support Win11, high power consumption, slow speed of response, large OS overkill for what I need etc.... Having recently built my first PCP based server for friend on a Rpi 4 I've got to say I was very impressed with this as a solution. Huge thanks to the PCP team for implementing this and the very useful online tutorials. I had it all up and running in a day as a complete PCP/Rpi novice. I like the compact size, the low power footprint, and it's lightning quick cw my Win10 server. So, I'm thinking of migrating my Win10 server over to PCP/Rpi. My question is this, all my music (approx 10k FLAC tracks) is tagged with Music IP and I run Music IP headless on my Win10 system for Music IP mixes. What are my options for this on PCP, can I run the Music IP headless engine on this platform, or are there more appropriate alternatives for similarity mixes. There are a number of threads in this forum about this subject so I think the answer is that it's possible, but I just wanted a steer from others who have been down this road, to see what you guys use/recommend? My main requirement is that it works (of course!) but also that it's relatively easy to set-up/maintain (ie. I don't need to be a computer scientist to make it work and keep it running). Looking forward to your suggestions. location 1: lms 8.3 on win 10 brix server, x3 sb radios, x1 touch, x1 controller : location 2: lms 8.3 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 duet receiver, x1 controller : alexa mediaserver smart skill, material android, squeezelitex control ------------------------------------------------------------------------ staresy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115911 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
