    Best software options for linux music streaming server that can also play local headless?

    The music server runs on Linux, the music players run on several platforms - Android, iOS, MacOs and Windows. Re-reading this thread, I'd say that Windows has been mentioned, rather than discussed.

    Best software options for linux music streaming server that can also play local headless?

    Another mention for Logitech Media Server. I have mine playing to several different players, including a Google Chromecast Audio connected to a portable speaker, an AVR via Airplay, an old Android tablet connected to a Bluetooth speaker, and a Raspberry Pi 3 running piCorePlayer, connected to a...

    Interesting. I have a Gen 1 Chromecast lying around, and need to add a new Bluetooth speaker to my LMS-based home audio setup. Does this mean that it's possible with the old CC and an HDMI splitter?

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Sure. So I have a 4GB Raspberry Pi 4, running Raspberry Pi OS, with Docker. I am running 4 containers altogether (Pi-Hole, Portainer, VPN server and LMS). I used the lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver image from the Docker Hub. I have setup the LMS config and playlist folders to be external to...

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Thanks - I think that I have solved it. Had a look at the Airplay prefs file and noticed a small difference to the Chromecast one. A simple edit to "align" them, followed by restarting LMS seemed to solve it. So it is working pretty well now, I can stream the same music to different rooms...

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Some feedback. I managed to deploy the Logitech Media Server on my existing Raspberry Pi 4, in a Docker container. It sees my music collection on the NAS via a mounted share, and I have the LMS config and playlist folders located outside the container so I can back them up, and won't lose them...

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Thanks, however I was planning to install LMS on an existing Pi that is already running two other applications in Docker containers. Then I can add dedicated Pi-based endpoints running picoreplayer or moode.

    Brand new to forum, looking for guidance setting up raspberry pi 4 as dedicated music server, the best player to use, no streaming.

    There is lots of good stuff on this forum, have a read here for a thread relevant to your questions.

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Thanks all for the responses - very helpful. So if I understand correctly, I could run LMS (with plugins for CCA and Airplay) in a Docker container on my existing Rpi4, with a mounted share to the music on my NAS (which is always on). And then use a suitable controller app on my iphone...

    A Raspberry Pi as a music server

    Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. I've been doing a lot of reading on networked audio streaming, and am looking for some advice. This looks like the right place. TL;DR: looking to setup the ability to stream FLAC files from my NAS to various speakers around the house, using an...
