Thanks for guiding to the SDRPlay image for the Raspberry Pi! Interesting to see that plug&play images are provided!
Its not mandatory for me to run a release candidate 3.8.1. for me.
Any working version running on a RPi4 would make me happy. I'm struggling/learning now for a week on this Pi4-RTL-SDR Challenge ;-)
I followed the suggested SDRPlay image process and did a Rookie attempt to add support for my RTL-SDR.
Altough the SDR-TEST runs properly, it seems that GNURadio Companion is not able to connect to the RTL-SDR somehow. Running "sudo apt-get install gr-osmosdr" did not make a difference either and it I guess I have to learn how to get RTL-SDR source/driver/setting properly aligned with the source block in GNURadio Companion...
Any suggestions are more then Welcome!
The longer it takes to get WBFM audio running, the better the Music sounds ;-)
