JRiver on Raspberry Pi 4?

<< < (2/3) > >>

HaWi:
Yup, I just set it up on my RPi4. I'd  recommend switching OS to 64 bit Debian (Buster) and running that from a SSD (I got the Argon One SSD extension to the Argon One Pi Case, with a Samsung 860 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 SATA).  I'm a complete noob and, with help from Wheaten and others here on the forum, it's running great. My media are on a Synology NAS (folder mounted as NFS on the Pi) and editing the library is S L O O O W.
However, it plays everything I have thrown at it via HDMI to my Marantz SR-7007 perfectly. Same with JRemote on my iPhone in the car and via Airplay on all of my other speakers around the house.

JimH:
The easiest way is to get a microSD card with Linux and MC installed on it.

Do we need an SSD if we have a NAS to store media?

I have two large UnRaid NAS servers. So all the RP4 has to do is run the JRiver app. It does not need to store any media.

No you don’t necessarily need a SSD. Your NAS is likely to work just fine. I have two rpis running MC27. One  has a HDD directly attached to it, while the second is drawing its music files from my Router attached hard drive. Both work fine. Make sure that you have a good SD card.

No, but I would advice to run Debian from a SSD, and not from the SD. It will improve stability and less corruption.
