Both the guacamayo mex and audioplayer images are for UPnP appliances, i.e., they generally expect to find content on the network, provided by UPnP media servers (i.e., a NAS). The mex image is not really much use on the RPi, the HW is too underpowered to run a non-trivial GL application. But you can put the audio files into the xuser's Music directory (or with the demo files into /usr/share/demos/audio) and they should appear in the Music column of MEX. > Then I tried guacamayo-image-audioplayer-raspberrypi.rpi-sdimg and it > was even less intuitive. You need a UPnP media controller to interact with the audioplayer. BubbleUPnP for Android works very well. > Can you give me some guidance?
