Which one? The fastest and best at the time is the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. I will report back if I am able to fix my issues.Following on from the previous post about setting up a Home Media Client/Server setup I thought I’d put together a “how to” for building your own Raspberry Pi Media Centre with Kodi and a list of ingredients. Especially for what is supposed to be out of the box hardware/software. Unless something gets fixed, this system just isn't reliable enough for me to rely on. I'm giving this another night or two of playing, but I think after that I may be moving to a netbook running Foobar for less hassle. Every time I put a load on the Pi using the web interface (such as rescanning my library), I lose my internet connection and have to restart the Pi, making it necessary to rescan.Īs good a solution as this is, I just can't afford to be spending hours getting things working again every time the system is unplugged or loses power. Last night I finally reflashed Rune Audio to my SD card but I am still having issues. Even while connecting it would skip again. After this, the Pi would not stay connected and would drop off the MPD and wireless network randomly. At this point, I unplugged for another restart. First the Pi connected perfectly but would skip or stop playing ever 30 seconds to minute for 20-30 seconds at a time. And of course this has lead to several days worth of issues.
Of course this required me unplugging my Raspberry Pi. So after a few weeks of no issues at all, I decided last week to get a new power strip since what I had was old and kind of a sketchy setup. There are a ton of options, especially with newer I2S devices like the HiFi Berry being released.
#FLIRC RASPBERRY PI OPENELEC SOFTWARE#
I'd like to see some others post their setups here and what software and hardware they are actually using. If you have some time to spend and are willing to learn some new things and do a lot of experimenting, it isn't too bad to make a very nice low cost headless unit. All that is required is to hit reconnect, but its an annoyance that I haven't been able to figure out yet.
The only issue I have is with the phone losing connection to the server every time a song changes.
#FLIRC RASPBERRY PI OPENELEC ANDROID#
I am controlling this whole setup using a combination of my tablet (HP Touchpad Running CM7) and an old LG Android phone, both running MPDroid. There may not be quite as many audio quality settings, but I've had no issues with anything, even streaming 24/192 music wireless via my relatively low powered Pi NAS wirelessly. The newest version of Rune has been rock solid for me and I had no issues with either connecting to my NAS or audio output. I finally decided to give Rune Audio a try. The Volumio forum support was okay, but I wasn't able to get my issues resolved.
I updated to version 1.55, however for some reason there were issues with the new kernel that caused terrible distortion from my Modi. My last hurdle was getting Volumio to work. Again this took a few days of playing with settings to get the NAS functioning as I wanted it, but I finally was able to get everything set up with an old 1TB external hard drive connected that was visible to all my devices. This was when I decided to purchase another Pi B+ to set up as a NAS using Rasbian. Even though I got it working and outputting to my Schiit Modi, I wanted something more convenient. I decided it was time for a change a few weeks ago and updated to Volumio version 1.4, which worked, but with issues relating to loading my library from an attached external HD. I started running Raspyfi on my Model B last year, but only occasionally using it. I've been through quite a bit of tweaking my setting over the past few weeks. I'm new to Linux and not a total computer expert, but I was able to put a pretty good system together for less than $100 using a bunch of stuff I had laying around already. Hopefully this will change as the Version 2 is now released. There doesn't seem to be a ton of discussion around here, just a few scattered threads. Like the title says, I wanted to start a thread discussing Raspberry Pi audio setups.
