I recently did a rpi media player project and tried volumio, picoreplayer, moode, and others. I ultimately settled on installing android from konstakang.com. It was so much easier to set up imo for my use case, which was a focus on local music playback and keeping the files sync’d via my LAN. It even supported my hat DAC and my remote control.

Didn’t GoPro start requiring online activation of their cameras a while back? Like customers couldn’t use it out of the box until they installed the smartphone app and activated it?

Edit: Looks like GoPro did try doing it by using dark patterns first and then getting more aggressive.
