Once done, with a remote control, like VlcFreemote 15 on android, the whole filesystem can be browsed, including the NFS mount. Unfortunately, unlike MPD, VLC can't directly use NFS shares, so it needs to be mounted by hand by adding this to /etc/fstab: rver:/media/library /media nfs ro,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14 0 0 The ALSA device selected in this case is the built-in HDMI aplay -L gives the list of options. The dbus-x11 package contains the dbus-launch command, which allows the service to start in a non-x environment properly. It's a little tricker to launch it on a headless system - meaning no X server -, but not that bad:Įnvironment="ALSA_DEVICE=hw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=0"ĮxecStart=/usr/bin/dbus-launch - /usr/bin/vlc -A alsa -alsa-audio-device $ -media-library Then I remember that I used to have VLC 14 with it's HTTP interface on as player. I'm aware Kodi & Friends have web interfaces, but that doesn't make them less wannabe smart. UPDATE: I added the section under omxplayer - I had a lof of trouble with VLC after writing this article. It's a lot faster, than VLC, and certainly has less bugs.

While omxplayer itself doesn't have a HTTP interface, it can easily be started over SSH, plus there's and android app, OMX Remote (Raspberry Pi) 13 which does exactly this for you. Omxplayer 12 is a Raspberry Pi native player, which has a rather impressive performance, due to the hardware accelation it utilises on the Pi. In order to have that as default output, /etc/nf needs to exists with: 1ĭ 1 Local video omxplayer I have a Topping MX3 11 connected to the Raspberry. There are plenty of clients to control it on Android, I prefer M.A.L.P. Playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists" etc/mpd.conf music_directory "nfs://rver/music/library" No metadata fetching daemons, no uber fancy web interface. What it does: picks music libraries, plays them to various outputs, and allows to be remote controlled over the network. MPD, while not that old, is still 17 years old. When I first decided to run a home music center, I started with MPD 8.

Hang on, had I not done this once already?.

Once I arrived at this point two thoughts popped up in my mind.

Also, all of them are oriented to either touchscreens or fancy remote controls. Again, they tried to be way too smart and complicated, and none of them offered a simple File Browser mode, or something like that. So I tried another approach: Kodi 5, OSMC 6, and LibreELEC 7 on a Raspberry Pi. to allow to play if one was using a controller, and not the built-in media browser.

Whenever transcoding wasn't needed, like most of the music, the TV kept asking for permission at. Emby does, but the transcoding doesn't really suit a 10W TDP CPU that's already serving websites, and an NFS server. Things like flac, vorbis, x265, etc would all need to be transcoded. It's so simple that it can about play wav, mp3, mpeg2, x264, and that's it. The problem is that my main renderer, an LG Netcast TV, is simple. The server contains (or connects to) and manages the data and the library the renderer shows the content the controllers tells the renderer what to play.

If you're not familiar with the idea or the details, the short summary if the following every setup would have: Ampache 4 feels dated, and no matter how many times I tried, I failed to properly set it up as DNLA/UPnP system.Īpart from the library issues, the other problem is DLNA/UPnP itself. Sithicus from Sanguis in Nocte is really not part of the 100 Best Trance Songs compalation.ĭifferent solutions, like Nextcloud 3 are already slow and heavy adding media to it really doesn't help.

Others, with plugins and manual help, like Emby 2, excel at movies, but simply overheat at music collections by trying to force everything in one folder into one album. Most modern media centers which rely heavily on gathering data from the internet, fail hard: some never even find the movies - Plex 1, I'm looking at you, especially since you became quite agressive with their you really ought to subscribe message. If you open the library in a file manager, the layout is trivial and it's fairly simple to browse or find whatever you're after. music folders with hundreds of randomly thrown together tracks with deliberately deleted album informationĭespite the complexity, it's organised.

films with multiple audio- and subtitle tracks in various formats, ranging from avi through mkv packed ogg vorbis to mere mp4.

Despite my efforts of gardening my music metadata properly, they all fail, mainly because it's far from a usual set of stuff. During the past years I've been trying to find a media center to accommodate my local data.
