I've been searching the internet for instructions on how to get LMS to run on a Pi 4 using Ubuntu.
It is a long time since I've used the command line on Linux but the Pi is a headless machine so I am back into that world. It's a big learning/re-learning curve!!
It took a while to get Ubuntu to boot off of the SSD in an Argon One M2 case. I also had to rename all my music files to match Linux naming conventions.
I chose Ubuntu as I also need to run a DLNA server as well. I understand that there is a way of getting LMS to act as a DLNA server but I couldn't work out whether or not that was a good idea. Besides, I need to build a Ubuntu PVR so I had to learn it anyway.
I've tried to follow the instructions I've found on installing LMS on the Pi/Ubuntu. It appears to install without errors but then nothing works. Looking in the log file all I get is endless messages saying "Logitech Media Server died". What I can't find out is why?
Clearly I have done something totally wrong but I have no idea what? I also have no idea what steps to take to find out?
Looking for a DLNA server I decided to install MiniDLNA. I have no idea whether that is a good choice(?) but it installed an ran without any problems.
Any help much appreciated.
