I have tried plex media server, and decided to just use it for photos, movies, home movies, TV shows, but not the audio collection. For the audio collection, I am retaining my LMS. It seems that plex is very slow for larger collections by comparison to LMS. Also, the LMS is much more configurable to play at different rates and also adapt to remote players direct to my server instead of through the plex server in the cloud. If plex could get a more efficient DB manager going, it could probably beat out the LMS.
You can still cast by using a squeeze player on the android phone and cast it to the chrome cast. I have both a roku and CC. roku and it's remote seem to have more apps than the CC, but most of it is junk. There are some very unique apps on the roku that are very interesting for the individual taste (for example, old TV shows, movies, etc.). Logitech missed the boat when they did not expand the LMS to include movies, photos, TV shows, etc. The LMS is still hands down the best audio server I have seen; and combined with the squeezebox, it was one heck of a system. Too bad. Plex is pretty awesome with the Roku. I have pitched in for the lifetime membership and I am 61. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ freelsjd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4344 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106113 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
