Good idea. Feature is ready and will be included in next release as an configurable option (Disabled or 5,10,15 or 20 min timeout; same for all drives).
...
BTW, these Features would make Daphile even better (at least for me):
...
- Automatic Play last Album/Rosio Station after Power loss (my Wife often simply pushes the Power Button an want's to listen to the same Radio Station after she turns the Power on again without using an App or the Webinterface)
Cheers
This feature will be included in the next release. The operation will be based on the configuration at "Settings -> Advanced Media Server Settings -> Player -> Audio -> Power On Resume" (does not work with current release).
It's important to take care of WAF ;-).
Are you sure you didn't mess up with the BIOS boot options?
It really is not possible that USB boot could have caused this.
BTW. I have got feedback that unetbootin has problems with some USB flash drives so that they are not bootable. And they have told me that Rufus has worked better in such cases.
After wrestling with the standard music server installations, VortexBox, MPD, VoyageMPD, DIY with LMS, etc. I find this to be the best all around solution.
Though I would do some things differently, ie backup and restore, I can deal with the work-arounds. Thanks for a wonderful product and I look forward to future updates. I still don't see a "donate" icon on the website.
Oh, it's installed in a Foxconn r10-i4000 with 2G of RAM and two 500Gb drives. Someday I'll go fanless but I'm good with this for now.

Maybe some kind of questions for the first configuration will be usefull.
Like: 1. The name of the device, 2. only player, player and server, 3. Choose the soundcard you want to use, and, so on.
Similar to first configuration of the Squeezebox.
It can be helpful, for people who are not computer geeks
Also the possibilty of turning off display after X ? minutes would be good, if somebody is using notebook instead of headless pc.

Thanks. I'll consider them later.
I still have Vortexbox 4.2.16 and the latest public Daphile 64bit run on it. No experience from 4.3. And actually I don't use Vortexbox very often. I prefer to use VMPlayer for Daphile testing.
I am using Logitech Squeezebox and like it. It is free too so you could give it a test.
Hi Kipeta,
I sorted the VirtualBox quirk. Daphile CD ISO will not boot if you try to use it on a pre-existing VM that already has another OS on it. After a bit of house keeping I was able to do some testing.
I wanted to stick with VirtualBox as the new "Nat Networking" options allows easier testing if you are not running DHCP on your host. One guest VM for Daphile and a second guest VM for the OS of your choice with a web browser. With "Nat Networking" the two VMs or on the same virtual net which has a DHCP and both can access the Internet via the host.
Before I offer any feedback, should I expect CD ripping to work if Daphile is run in a VM?
In my quick test the CD on the VM optical drive is recognised with the correct album art and track list. The ripping process appears to start but dies after track one is ripped to the VM hard drive. In fact, track one is on the drive but is corrupt.
This is a fragment of the rip log:

BTW, the other day a fellow diy fourmite came over to see Daphile. He brought a small USB DAC which we plugged into my old laptop running Daphile. Daphile immediately recognized his DAC. I connected this 2nd DAC to a 2nd amp and speakers. We had Daphile playing two different tracks on two different systems at the same time. (1 laptop, 2 DACs, 2 amps/speakers) I'm impressed.
Cheers, Mack
no, it's $5 or so. There are several free controllers on Google Play or iStore.
