Image used with permission by copyright holder Why download Kodi? It’s not illegal to own Kodi or to use it, but what’s problematic is how to get it in the first place. It is not available on the Apple App Store, though, so it’s unauthorized for installation on any iOS device, at least not via Apple. I will test it, as soon as my HifiBerry arrives.So, what’s special about it? Kodi has evolved as a universal streaming app that works on almost any device and can play almost any media file format. But the sound quality is the same, because that depends on the ALSA software, isn’t it? You’re right, the remote apps aren’t ideal. I think I prefer a dedicated app, isn’t a web interface slower and looses a bit space by sitting in a browser? Isn’t it a disadvantage that Squeezebox is „out-of-production“? Isn’t it „dying“ software? But you can also just always use the web interface on any device. Squeezebox system is ideal for almost any device, especially iOS and Android (Apps like Squeezer, iPeng, etc. Can I set up that HDMI is fixed for Kodi en the HifiBerry is fixed for music? ![]() Kodi comes preinstalled and you can select HDMI for audio in our web interface on in Kodi.ĭo you use LibreELEC? Because that’s the only one that lets me choose AZERTY and that really accepts it like AZERTY (Kodi on Raspbian/OSMC let me choose AZERTY but still work as QUERTY). But the best way to decide is to just download the free image and try the free main features yourself to see if Max2Play fits your bill □ If you have any more questions, I’d be happy to answer them. The players for it are preinstalled (Squeezelite) on all Max2Play devices so you can easily control the playback of all and synchronize them at will. Our OS mostly relies on the Logitech Media Server which is a simple one-click installation and has clean interface and many third party apps and software to control it. – Pi MusicBox, Mopidy, PiCorePlayer, Volumio and Moode are all very different beasts. – Kodi for music is not ideal, we recommend using the Squeezebox system and its many features and advantages. – Squeezebox system is ideal for almost any device, especially iOS and Android (Apps like Squeezer, iPeng, etc. Also activate the USB max current option in the Raspberry Settings. We recommend using a powered USB hub to make sure it does not drain the Pi, but it depends on the storage device. Kodi comes preinstalled and you can select HDMI for audio in our web interface on in Kodi. – Kodi with HDMI audio is no problem with our OS. ![]() Let’s get through your questions in order: Are they the same kind of programs as RuneAudio, Volumio and Max2Play? What about Pi Musicbox (also uses Mopidy, but what’s the difference, is this easier to set up?) and piCorePlayer. Like the forum on Hifiberry, there’s not much help I see. When I have a problem and there’s no active forum or chat channel, I’m stuck. I read a lot about MoOde, as being better quality and more active developed. Mopidy seems to have a lot of options and compatible with different configurations, but maybe it’s a little more complex to set up? The more „out-of-the-box“ the music player works, the more I like it, but not if it means less quality of course. The most easy solution seems to use Kodi as music player, but is it the same audio quality as Max2Play? Can I make playlists easy? I also want to be able to make a playlist on the fly from that smartphone. I want to be able to play music headless, so with my smartphone or tablet (iOs, both, but in the future I may have an Android phone). I read somewhere that even a SDD hard drive could ask to much power from the Pi, is that true? I want to hook up a SDD hard drive with all my music (just through USB, no NAS drive). What I want, is to be able to still use Kodi (preferably with HDMI audio, but not necessary). I googled and read a lot, and instead of understanding more what suits me best, I keep finding more options, hence making it hard to choose. ![]() I’m unsure what program to use to play my music. I use the same Raspberry for Kodi (LibreELEC). I ordered a HifiBerry DAC Pro to use with my Raspberry Pi 3 and Mackie Active speakers.
