Did you reformat the drive?  Should be FAT32.  Mine showed up as sdb1, not sda.

I only have two Options to format it EXfat and NTFS. So i reformat it as NTFS now and I am in the middle of a file transfer to try again.

[KenMoreira]

What is a good cheap tablet I could use for Audirvana app to control this?  I don't want to spend to much. Probably USED and older 

[zackthedog]

You don't have a phone?  Otherwise, any cheap Android tablet would do.

[zackthedog]

Are you formatting it on a Windows PC?  Get SD Card Formatter, it's free.

[zackthedog]

You shouldn't ever need to reformat a flash drive. ;-)

[KenMoreira]

Reformatting it as NTFS worked.  And i want a big screen tablet to be my dedicated streamer remote. In Landscape mode 

[KenMoreira]

i was using a 128GB USB driver for local music storage on my streamer. Seems to be good to go now. And yeah Ill buy a cheap Tablet for like $50

[KenMoreira]

Do you think it matters which I choose, been using holo audio driver since that's the manufacturer one straight to dac. 

[zackthedog]

Yes, it matters, you want to choose direct to the DAC.

Is it possible to add a music library stored on a NAS server to an LMS running on GentooPlayer?

[Vennesch]

Now that Audirvana for Linux is in beta any chance it will be incorporated on GP?

 

[chrisc]

A question:   What is this HotSpot and which section of the program can it be disabled?

Yes you need to mount a remote drive (your NAS) in Gentooplayer and LMS would be able to find the path to your NAS.

I'm trying to mount an nfs drive and something like this pops up?

[Patatorz]

You are using a Pi ? It mentioned to check if NFS is enabled in your kernel. Are you using a specific kernel ?

[aqs_]

NFS is running on Qnap, I have GentooPlayer on RPI

[Patatorz]

What I mean, according to the message, is that NFS could be not activated on the kernel you are using on GP and your Pi. Something to check with Filippo. Are you using a specific kernel on your Pi ?

 * Starting rpcbind ...

 [ ok ]

 * Starting NFS statd ...

 [ ok ]

 * Setting up RPC pipefs ...

mount: /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs: unknown filesystem type 'rpc_pipefs'.

I changed the kernel to a different one and I have something like this

[Patatorz]

Ask directly to Filippo, I don’t know from my side

Ok thx

This option when enabled means that if GentooPlayer does not find a valid network, it starts its own network on wifi, i.e. a hotspot.
It is disabled in System Cofigure Adavanced > TWK Varius

It seems to take a Significant amount of time to play music from my 128Gb USB stick from audirvana off my streamer. Like about 30 seconds for a song to start. 
This is Far more a pain in the ass then it was just using my pc directly with audirvana windows

That was not my experience, playback occured after only a brief pause.  But I still think the Allo is not powerful enough to take advantage of Audirvana Linux.  I have no trouble with it *at all* on a stock RPi 4.
