Hello,
Over the last 3 years, I have been using an old ROKU M1000 Audioplayer (which should work with Slimserver, at least for non-FLAC audiofiles) as an Internet radio, which works fine. Now I would like to (finally !) take the plunge and set it up as a media player, serving audio files from a small NAS box, the NanoPi Neo2 + NAS kit. The Nanopi Neo2 is a 64 bit machine however ... (Allwinner H5). The NanoPi machine runs on Armbian Debian Stretch, and the installed Perl version is 5.24.1.
Reading some old posts on your forum, I came across a post from a user "macsat" with an ARM64 machine running Perl 5.22, to which Michael Herger replied:
"We don't have binaries for this platform. Is Armbian up to date? The Armbian I installed on my Rock64 came with a more recent Perl. We do
have binaries for AARCH64 for Perl 5.24 and 5.26." So the good news is that at least my Perl version is Ok.
I have been scanning the info in the sticky posts which detail the various LMS versions available for Download, but no luck (not under LMS 8.1 nor LMS 8.2): there's only an ARM (32 bit) DEB package.
Please advise. I know, the alternative would be to compile from sources, but I would really prefer the simple way ...
