Dual-boot is a tad more complicated to setup. I have mine installed with Win 7. Win7 was already up and running and I didn't want to start from scratch.
IIRC, I had to create 2 new separate partitions for DAPhile. Then boot from the usb, and do the install afterwards from the gui. Finally, I used easybcd to find the grub so I could dual-boot (otherwise it'd just boot to Win7). I'm not sure if easybcd works for Win 10 however.
As far as storing music on the same HD. I just use a folder in my Win7 OS and set Daphile to check it as a source. I either boot to Win7 to copy music over or transfer across my network from my main PC.
Hope this helps some…
This is my first post. I plan to build a digital audio recording center in closet about 45' (through attic) from my audio equipment. I will build a custom desktop PC with several PCIe cards. Besides my DAW software, I wanted to include music server/streamer software. I'm glad I found Daphile. To connect to my PS Audio DS DAC I would like to use something like this: Adnaco-S5: 20 Gb/s PCIe Gen 2 Over Fiber Optic Expansion System. This system is like being right next to your DAC even though it is 45' away. I haven't read this entire thread and I don't know if anyone has used fiber optic cable for this purpose.
As soon as I attempted to answer my own question I ran into something disheartening so just to confirm...
Daphile is not open source, ssh access is beta and read only, is that correct?
Nope, in beta version via ssh you can modify all files you want, I use winSCP to connect to Daphile server and change files direct on PC. SSH port closed in release versions only for more security I suppose. Daphile based on Logitech Media Server, so, it's hard to imagine more open-source product.
Thanks for the info, it is stated as both closed source and beta ssh read only in varies threads in this post. This would seem to be front page feature information on a diy site.
It is closed source. It might be based on open source components, but all the things that makes it be Daphile, like the web interface is closed source. A lot of it is probably human readable code like php or perl that you could copy from the system, but that's not the same as open source.
When looking at daphile filesystem I saw the web UI built with complicated bash cgi scripts and then there was a closed-source binary linked to libasound2 - I assumed that was used for the actual playback.
Yes, that is standard library for all unix like systems for audio output from ALSA

I mean the proprietary binary was used for playback.
To be exact, alsa is only in linux, other unix systems have their own solutions.

Sure that's obvious. But the fact that a closed source binary links to this lib indicates that this binary is the one handling the actual playback. That means it's clearly a closed source project.
From the first post.
SERVER: Squeezebox Server same as Logitech Media Server (LMS) - open source. Software available from Logitech for Linux, PC and MAC.
PLAYER: Logitech SqueezePlay - open source.
SqueezePlay has been split into Squeezelite and Jivelite for other Audio distributions - open source by others.
Linux - open source.
ALSA - open source.

Your right all the bits are open source but it seems to lack the documentation/knowledge base or collaborative contribution of many open source projects. My skills are Linux admin at best, without a rudimentary map or shoulders to stand on....well I would rather listen to music than turn myself in a Linux developer.
This doesn't make Daphile itself open source. There is no way I could build my own Daphile image with the material provided by the developer. The only thing available is a short list of included software. But there is no documentation on how to build it, no build scripts, kernel config files, or source code of any kind. You could get parts of it by extracting from a ready image, but that's nowhere near enough.
Curious question: If I wanted build my own costomized version of piCorePlayer, could I do it with the material provided?

Hi snoopy112.
I just tried to add your repository to the list in daphile but, even after restarting, the signal generator plugin doesn't show up.
Do you know where the problem could be or, in the worst case, how can I install the plugin manually?
Many Thanks,
Giuseppe.
Hey, Giuseppe, Daphile controls plugin also doesn’t show at the bottom of plugins list? Could you PM me with more info abour your actions?
