Plex is indeed fine for videos. However, at least for a large music collection it is a pain. Scanning the music file collection is very slow. A music search on basis of genre, composer and other categories as provided by LMS and can be refined using certain plug ins is not possible. The artist pages with information and content from external providers is fine, but requires the subscription for the Plex pass. In LMS you can have similar or even more detailed information by means of the Biography plug in and the Album Review plug in. However, a more elegant user experience which could be achieved the integration of the plug in information in the artist pages and album pages selectable via the artist and album menus of the man menue would be a substantial improvement of the web user interface of LMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 transporter with touch for controlling, 1 squeezebox 3 6 squeezebox radio 3 squeezebox controllers (+ a number of different squeezebox spares) ipeng on IPhones and IPads LMS with MusicIP under Windows Home Server 2011 on Dell PowerEdge 840 Server (Quad core Xenon X3210 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM) ripping software: DBPowerAmp, tag editing software: Tag&Rename ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Otto-Wilhelm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33332 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103565 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
