Raspberry PI running MinimServer - YES!

[ReneZ]

Hi, I have managed to get MinimServer running on a Raspberry PI with the great help of GMeddens (Thanks Mate!!), whilst using a USB harddisk as file repository.

Basically the music sits in a directory on a USB harddrive (Hitachi Touro 2Tb - USB3) and is connected to the RB. MinimServer runs on the RB and has as music directory the mounted USB drive.

It's still early days, but it seems to be running OK with wav24 transcoding from 24/192 flac files where top shows a processor load of about 50%, so it seems to be running without too much of a burden on the RB.

Guy has a guide that helped me a lot (!). I had some issues with permissions etc, but trawling the web helped and it works now. How's that for a cheap and easily transportable set-up? Total cost RB and Hitachi is about £110 (dead quiet too!).

Cheers, Rene
