RE: Does everything that shows up actually work?

Posted by zacster on September 13, 2020 at 20:25:12:
So far everything has played. I have 3 RPi's around the house but only that one was active when I took the screen shot. I'll have to check the kitchen setup though now that I see that it didn't show up. It probably just needs a reboot. We were moving the routers around and it probably just disconnected.
One thing I wanted to try is to get the Firestick to stream to the Raspberry Pi and Volumio. This way I could unplug the TV from the HT receiver. The problem would probably be latency even if it did work. It's gotta sync with the video. When I stream from Qobuz I have no idea how long it really takes for the music to start, nor do I care as long as it plays. The look ahead takes care of the next track in the queue so gapless playback happens. I've watched it happen during playback through Activity Monitor on the Mac. When you change the song midway through it sends the processors into a tizzy to catch up again. Luckily a quad core iMac is plenty of processor to do that and also to upsample or convert to DSD on the fly, all while doing whatever else you are doing.
