Options for streaming audio to or from LibreElec

    • New

    Hi there,

    I have a couple of RPis and Linux boxes, one of which as an RPI 5 which includes a HifiBerry amplifier. This can support streaming to the device if I use Moode Audio for UPnP / DLNA, or Airplay, but not easily if using LibreElec. What are my options?

    1. Can I stream audio from LibreElec to a Moode Audio or other RPi?
    2. Can I stream audio to LibreElec with adaptations?
    3. Do any of the Linux options for streaming to / from support adjustments to latency in the way that Airplay does? (This would allow one box to play video, while another outputs the audio from the video that is playing.)

    Thank you for any general advice you can give on these questions,

    Jim

    For your setup I suggest MPD, which has a client/server architecture. So you can stream in any direction.

    Some audio aficionados also use RPi/HiFiBerry for DSD playback:

    Raspberry Pi 4 + LibreElec + Music Player Daemon + WavPack DSD

    Hello! :)

    I installed LibreElec 9.95.1 and mpd (as service addon) and found that when playing WavPack DSD files with a samplerate of more than 384 kHz, the sound is very interrupted. A search on the Internet did not give anything, the mpd settings also did not bring any result. And then I accidentally looked into:

    mpd -V

    ­— and found that it was built without native support for the WavPack format, that is, it decodes it using ffmpeg. And ffmpeg DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DSD compressed with WavPack.
