![]() Again, Moode works wonderfully well on the RPi3 as an endpoint/renderer (better than Volumio/Rune/others in my opinion), but the Moode "MiniDLNA" server function left me wanting.Īt that point I focused on dedicated server programs for RPi3 and quickly narrowed it to two well-known applications: MinimServer, and AssetUPnP. That's actually an in-depth topic when it shouldn't be, so after various attempts at fixing that problem all ending in failure, I scrapped Moode as server and it's "MiniDLNA" implementation. Set-up was easy enough, and while it worked and sounded fine, an annoying old problem with various DLNA implementations reared it's ugly head: spotty presentation of the album art. I'm already using a Raspberry Pi3 as a Moode UPnP Renderer (endpoint) in my living room system to great effect with a Resonessence Herus DAC connected via USB, so why not use an additional RPi3 in server mode?īecause I already use and love the Moode distro for RPi3, I tried that first knowing it had a setting in it's configuration menu for use as a DLNA server. ![]() ![]() Kind of a waste of electricity, the lure of instant multi-room music streaming causing me to be lazy and never power down my computer. I'll still use the JRiver/Mac mini combo for local playback where it resides in my bedroom, but I'd like to have a network server elsewhere, primarily to be available to stream music at times the mini is either switched off, or in midst of a software update, or running a CPU intensive application for example.Īdditionally, although the Mac mini is a very energy efficient computer, I don't like leaving it on 24/7 just for the ability to stream music to different rooms, but I had found myself increasingly doing just that. Lately I have contemplated transitioning my network music server off of my daily driver Mac mini running JRiver.
