In reply to Michelangelo Guarise. Please write a tutorial. I will be attempting the same thing.

One more question. I plan to play music from the mini86 to an IFI Micro IDSD to the amp. I already have an Ipurifier2 connecting to the Micro IDSD. Would you recommend adding either or all of the following: idefender, isilencer, Ipower? The Ipurifier clearly made a difference, so I would only add them if there are clear advantages to be had from adding either. Thanks, Adam

In reply to Michelangelo Guarise. Michelangelo, thanks for the swift reply. Unfortunately, I am not a Linux-virtuose, so I wouldn't risk it. Is there any chance of such a tutorial surfacing in the near future? I would definitely like to use volumio, but also like to have one gadget controlling all media consumption.

In reply to Ádám Lukács. Hi Adam, this is definetely possible. However, we don't have any tutorial on how to do this, and even with the plugin you might have to fiddle a lot with the underlying system. So go for this option only if you have at least a bit of expertise about linux

Hi, I may be double posting (sorry if yes), but I can’t see my post from last night, so something might have gone wrong with it.
Is it possible to install Kodi next to Volumio onto Volumio mini86? I have seen the thread about the plug-in, but I am not sure if it covers the mini86, too? I am looking for a hardware that can run both. I am just about to pull the trigger on the mini86. thanks, Adam

In reply to Matias Orchard.

Here’s how I installed it: access http://volumio.local from a web browser on the same network as the Mini86. On the Settings pull-down menu (little gear at top right) select ‘Plugins’. Click ‘Upload Plugin’ (third tab) on Plugins Management panel. Upload volspotconnect2.zip from your downloads folder, install it, then enable the plugin. You might need to reboot before you can enjoy Spotify Connect functionality on your Mini86. I love it!

In reply to Brian W..

Thanks… I know it. I’ve tried several things to actually install the plugin, with no success. I’ve followed a couple of threads where they recommend on how to do it, without luck either.
Don’t know what to do.

Thanks. Maybe, I need to add a second (or third) antenna to my fruity product… he, he, he!

Cheers!
