Things that Plex does for your Music collection that LMS doesn't: 1. Puts your entire music and video collection online accessible with cellphone, anywhere on the planet etc. 2. Provides a much more modern UI into your music and video collection than LMS. 3. Ability to share your collection with Friends and Family. Plex doesn't integrate directly with Squeezebox clients so you can't control them from a Plex. There are headless Plex RPi clients so theoretically you could do a LMS type system but I haven't tried this. With newer NAS devices like the fantastic Qnap 251+, which has transcoding features for Plex and can run LMS as a "Docker Container", there is no downside to running both on the same machine and enjoy the benefits. It Plex could incorporate the LMS protocol then Plex might move ahead. I'm not sure there is much interest in that on the Plex side. Plex may attempt to move in on Roon's territory regarding music? -CB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ctbarker32's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107002 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
