Best media server software for the Pi?

Sep 05, 2014 6 Replies

Hallo group,



which media server software you use? I have a model b (256 mb) and I have tested raspbmc and minidlna (under raspbian). The raspbmc caused freezes on my Pi, at every rescan and sometimes whithout to know a reason. Minidlna works fine, but it shows me all artists they only present in samplers. I don't want to see this, it's terrible. I think this cannot be configured in that media server.



Additional informations: I use it only for music (flac), my collection is about 700gb of files. In my network are two renderer present.



Thanks, Schultze

In that case, have you tried mpd?

mpd is just fine, and since you are German: There was a nice setup manual in c't magazine 14, 2014. I have it as pdf. :) As a remote control I use Droid MPD on an Android tablet and Web1.0MPC (web based client, needs Apache, I have it on installed on a NAS box).
