I kept notes when I installed BubbleUpnp server on an RPi 3 using the Raspberry Pi Lite OS. You need to install java and ffmpeg too, here goes:
Log in to the Rpi as user pi via ssh:
The binary from QNAP club works perfectly fine, if you install ffmpeg from them as well they are both install qpkg. Containers are really nothing to worry about it’s just like installing an app QNAP looks after all of it except you choose one network option which you can change after its been installed if needed.
I’m getting a bit confused here. I installed the binary from QNAP Club and it doesn’t seem to do anything. I can see it installed in App Centre and this is what I see but if I click on Open it doesn’t do anything. Should it? Transcoding options in bubbleupnp server remain greyed out even after restarting the server. If not that package what should I try installing?
Thanks but I don’t even know what the QNAP club is. Are you talking about the QNAP forum? Is there a particular thread there? I’ve been able to install qpkg files for Asset, Mininsever, and Bubble, and get them working with the exception of transcoding for Bubble. The Bubble site recommends installing binaries through a console command and after reading the install instructions I didn’t feel comfortable doing it. If you’re saying I can accomplish the same by installing a qpkg file that’s something I can do.
Here’s the thread I was using for the optware ng binaries.
TS-NASX64_64. But I would go for using container station as there is no issues with ffmpeg as it will be bundled with it. My installed app version from QNAP club works with even QNAP club ffmpeg disabled I just can’t do video transcoding. So I can’t help beyond that. My recommendation is to use container station
I got as far as installing Container Station from the QNAP repository, opened it up and it said a minimum of 4GB RAM is recommended and just as it said that the stream from the NAS to the ND5 XS2 died probably down to insufficient RAM Uninstalled Container Station and the NAS to streamer is fine again.Until such time as I add some RAM I’ll need to find another solution. All I really want it for is to downsample hi-res streams from the NAS to my Sonos speakers. They seem to handle 24/44.1 OK but barf at anything better than that.
All it does is createa virtual operating system and a disk image on your storage. Containers contain the basic os and code to run an application and can run on any computer that runs docker. Windows,Mac Linux they all can run the same containers.
