RuneAudio Forum

Hi All,

I'm new to rune audio. I have been trying Volumio but been unable to see my NAS. I can see it fine in rune. Just a question, please? I have set up a test folder (Music-Server/Air) with three albums. All of these folders are visible on my network and via rune, but not the songs in them. I click on the album folder settings and "update this folder". The "Browse" tab turns to "Updating", but I don't know how long it will take to index around 10 tracks in that folder. I was hoping a full database update would take a reasonable time on three albums (and expecting overnight on the 280Gb or 500 artists I have in my iTunes library).

So, have I missed anything, please? Also, I am aiming to get my Pi running headless over wifi, feeding I2S into my TDA1541A DAC. Then I can sell my CD player collection!! Please keep up the good work. Using a Pi in this way is brilliant - I am lost with the Linux, but have learned to use PuTTY while playing with Volumio and the SUDO command (which I now see isn't what ARCH uses!).

Thanks again for any help advice.

Jon

Hi Jon,

What filetype is your music. Try a folder with an MP3. I''ve got a lot of music and it updates in about 10 minutes, but not all filetypes are seen in rune. Also, check your permissions.

Hi jonclancy, welcome to RuneAudio
Do you have ALAC files in those folders? If yes, take a look at this thread. You can manually enable ffmpeg decoder editing MPD's configuration in /etc/mpd.conf file.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I run ALAC (MP3s are banned! ) - I'll take a look at the thread. I've also had a look at the wifi config stuff. I can get widc-curses to run, but not see my Edimax. I'll keep trying the stuff in the wiki.

All the best

Jon

Thanks guys!!!

All working now - please see here if you've found this via Google...
