Hi all,

I successfully installed media center on my Pi4 4gb and for the most part everything seems to work but two things are puzzling me:

I can’t seem to get memory playback to work properly. No matter which variation I pick the file plays but does not seem to be stored in memory. Even for big files the memory storage used by the pi doesn’t increase. Plus if I unplug the pi from my network, the playback stops pretty quickly (I’m using the pi as a DLNA renderer).  I have not had the issue with my Nuc Id when used as a renderer.

The other thing is that with big files I find I need to check off the disable hard drive as buffer option in order to play without glitches.  I assume this may be normal because of the pi reliance on sd cards but can that be confirmed?

Thanks.

gabeg:
Anyone?

Memory playback is generic and should work fine. We'll do some tests on that here. What is your memory configuration?
The disabling buffering to the sdcard is very important when running on the Pi. You really don't want to be writing to the sdcard. They are pretty slow and will eventually wear out.
The down side is that disabling buffering will reduce the ability to seek in some streams.

Running it on a pi4 4gb.  Tried on the 3B+ but same difference.

Thanks!

Just got my idpi card and can confirm memory play isn't working there as well.  On my standard pi install I downgraded down to 23 and can confirm it works there but not with 25.
