It doesn't look like Logitech media server can run on (or stream to) a Raspi Pi Zero, which was an important feature to me, given the current electricity prices. A Raspi will consume 0.7 Watt, which is hard to beat. Most of the devices seem to be proprietary from Logitech [1], not open source or self-built.

- cycomanic 4y agoThere's quite a few pi distributions that can run LMS, for example picoreplayer [1]. I've never run it on a pi zero, but I suspect it works. What I do is run the server on a pi3 and have a pi (1?) running squeezelite for remote control. [1] https://www.picoreplayer.org/ https://www.picoreplayer.org/
- cycomanic 4y agoSorry I realised this is a bit unclear. I should not have said remote control, but remote player. Squeezelite is a player and they definitely run on a pi. So with an LMS running on a one pi with a disk attached to it, and several other pis (possible with screens attached) you can run a fully synchronized home system that can run your own music, but also spotify and many of the other services as well as online radios (e.g. BBC) and podcasts, there are a lot of plugins.
- Helmut10001 4y agoGreat, thank you for the clarification!
- malermeister 4y agoI'm running squeezelite on a raspi zero right now! there's even a premade image that makes everything very easy. https://www.picoreplayer.org/ https://www.picoreplayer.org/ Most clients these days are raspis.
