Insert the Micro SD card into the RPi and boot up. If anything those instructions make it look way more complex than it is, but I guess better to be verbose.įollow steps 1 to 3 (and 6) on this page after that you'll be installing/configuring LMS via a simple web based interface.īasically download the PiCorePlayer image ( piCorePlayer 7.0.0 - 64Bit Kernel) and burn/copy it to your Micro SD card (using BalenaEtcher on a PC or Mac).

:9000 and this will take you to the web portal of LMS. Then to open, you go to the IP address you have reserved for the Pi with the port 9000, so in address bar : Sudo /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver status Sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_8.1.1_arm.deb To install LMS, login in to the Pi via SSH and add the following lines: If you have a router that can assign IP addresses based on MAC addresses then I would reserve an IP in the router for the Pi, as this saves any conflicts down the line. Other things worth considering is an IP address for the Pi. Worth noting that if you go the lite version you will need to enable SSH, this is very easy, all you need to do is put the SD card in the reader and plug into your computer, and then open it as if it was removable storage, navigate to the boot directory and then create a file called SSH without an extension and that is it. There is a cool imager program on the raspberry pi website, which you download, and then run and select which version OS you are installing and it does it for you. With regards to which OS to install, I would go for the lite (headless) version so you are not installing more than you need to. I would skip max2play and just install LMS, as you are only needing a server, max2play will install a player also.
