Hi Guys/Developers
As you will see, I am very new to your board, but a skilled Linux engineer. You will see that I have created all sorts of radio-interfaces for the RPi and now, using (currently) your OS as my Radio Live Streaming Device.
I have a 100% working environment with RPi and the Adafruit LCDPlate (LCD Display and 5 buttons) in place. What I would like to do is use the bobrathbone.com/ project (buttons/Encoders/LCD on GPIO) and use the VOLUMiO web interface to drive the hardware.
Here comes my question(s):
I saw you mention github.com/volumio/Volumio-WebUI as the GIT environment. If I do the following, will it work?:
Build Raspberry Pi with RASBIAN
Install your web invironment with
2.a. apt-get install subversion
I suggest you this guide: http://typingoutloud.org/raspberry-pi-installing-volumio-pibang/
Is made by a Volumio member, and it covers it really good. If you have a little patience I’m setting up a proper docs, also for it… You are near, there are some things to be added… Install first mpd and mpc, I suggest to install the custom made version of mpd and shairport made for volumio http://repo.volumio.org/Packages/
Then give appropriate permissions, like in the article.
Then you need to install also
usbmount samba minidlna
and maybe something more, now I don’t remember (need to sleep more lol)
I have several Atom based motherboards and would like to have the Volumio experience on those.
Iam no Linux engineer and would try this guide on a x86 platform.
Do you have any further advice for this?
PiBang is based on Crunchbang which is based on Debian. crunchbang.org/
There’s no reason why you couldn’t just follow my guide and install the Volumio ‘experience’ on an x86 machine. Give it a go and let us know how it went!
Thanks to your great explanations i have volume running on a stripped down #!crunchbang (debian derivate) running.
Great solution and, logically, a lot of cpu power.
Thanks
