Using Raspberry Pi 3 as audio front-end

(1/3) > >>

Grayson54:
I am using JRiver 23 as my DLNA server.  Is it possible to use Raspberry pi 3 as my network-connected front end for my audio receiver in another room? Acting as the DLNA renderer. The plan would be to control it through JRemote? Can you recommend a link of how this can be done?   Thanks, G

JimH:
The Linux board has a Raspberry Pi thread.

or

The IdPi is everything you need on a bootable microSD card.  Or you can buy it pre-built.  Please start here:

Either way, JRemote or any other MC remote will work.

Grayson54:
Thanks.  Read a number of the entries.  Very helpful.  Do you know whether I have to buy an additional JRiver license for Pi?

JimH:
If you're building your own, you can use a Master License if you have one.

If you buy the IdPi, the license for MC is included.

Zhillsguy:
Using the IdPi is the best option by far if you don't want to tinker too much. You can also follow the Pi install thread in this forum and try it for 30 days with no license, and get help along the way before you decide. The walk through is fairly easy if you have some computer experience. If you are familiar with using MC, setting it up for music play won't be an issue after everything is installed. Support here is outstanding.

Raspbian now has an all inclusive image so you don't have to go through the NOOBS process (although it is easy). Use the Stretch with desktop version.

The Pi is a very cool little network music player. It has its limitations but highly recommended.
