Alternative Raspberry Music client software

[HerculePirate]

I am looking for a Music client software that does the following:
- Play spotify, tidal etc.
- Please music from local server (including opus,ogg, flac, alac etc) excluding LMS i.e. Navidrome etc.

I am searching for alternative to LMS basically
I tried Navidrome and playsub as a remote and I cannot cast onto a piCorePlayer. Are there other options ?

What improvements do you want to see over LMS?

Sir,
I have an UNRAID server which holds my music and runs LMS.
The LMS version running is the most official one. But does not scan all my files. Misses or skips some OPUS folders.
I tried MoOde and Spotify stops after some time.
I tried pCP and spotify stops after 1 track.
LMS is perfect but I cannot see a lot of my OPUS folders

I see, so some OPUS files are scanned but others are not. Is there any obvious difference between them? I don't have any OPUS files in my library but I think I have created some at some point for test purposes. Have you asked on the forum about the failure to scan some OPUS files? I would expect someone here to figure out why they are failing.

Looking back I see the issue is your version of Audio Scan on your Unraid server. Ever thought of getting a Raspberry Pi? 😀

[HerculePirate]

slartibartfast Is your question of RPi as a client or a server ?
Yes, the forum mentioned that the the UNRAID docker does not have audioscan 1.06 but its 1.05.
Cannot get the developer of the docker to ungrade to 1.06 as he says its upto the developers.

Also, how can I cast from Navidrome/Subsonic to a piCorePlayer or a moOde ?

LMS on a Pi has Audio Scan 1.06. It is possible to build Audio Scan 1.06 yourself but I don't know if docker complicates things. It would be better if the developer of the docker did that of course.
This might be a daft question but why do you have so many OPUS files? Is it to save space?

You can build your own docker image locally:

FROM alpine:latest

#SHELL ["/bin/ash", "-eo", "pipefail", "-c"]

RUN apk add --no-cache curl \
&& curl -Ls http://www.sodface.com/repo/sodface-pub-key.tar.gz | tar -C /etc/apk/keys/ -xvz [email protected] \
&& echo http://www.sodface.com/repo >> /etc/apk/repositories \
&& apk update \
&& apk upgrade --available \
&& apk add --no-cache espeak \
faad2 \
flac \
ffmpeg \
lame \
lms \
perl-crypt-cbc \
perl-data-peek \
perl-dev \
sox \
tzdata \
wavpack \
&& cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich /etc/localtime \
&& echo 'Europe/Zurich' > /etc/timezone \
&& apk del curl

Its a practise I had started of saving all less interesting albums into OPUS for saving space. it saved me 30% space compared to a flac file.
Now i have a 72TB server but stuck with OPUS files.
Also, I have converted my RPi 3B+ to a LMS server that has a audioscan=1.06. WIll let you know if I can see all the OPUS files.

I am also trying to create a Linux VM and have LMS run on it.
The version available on the official channel is v8.3.1 but with audioscan=1.05.
Is there LMS deb with audioscan=1.06???

What Perl version is your Linux using? We have 1.06 in for Perl 5.36 and 5.32. It really depends on the Perl version, not on the Linux.

[HerculePirate]

mherger its PERL v5.34.0
I can upgrade it to v5.36.0 via perlbrew

Does this mean that PERL version in a docker will affect the version of audioscan version installed.
If I can ask the docker creator to upgrade the PERL version to v5.36 then the right audioscan will be installed ?

[HerculePirate]

So i installed perl v5.36.0 via perlbrew and then installed LMS on the linux LinuxMint XFCE and the version of perl is still 5.34 on LMS

Yes.

Or you simply use the official LMS Community container.
