Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice from all the knowledgeable folk on here :-) I currently have quite a few Squeezebox devices round the house. I don't have a server. My main PC is on 24/7 and all my music and movies are on an external HDD. LMS runs on the PC. I like LMS. It's fast to navigate my music round the house and from what I've read here it's still pretty much the best solution for large music libraries.
My daughter currently streams movies to a WDTV Live box. It works fine, but it's interface is so slow. The good thing about it is it's ability to pull movies straight from my PC without additional server software running. I'm looking at more modern and faster alternatives for streaming the movies....eg, Amazon Fire stick, Chromecast, Roku. They all seem to require something like Plex running on my PC? So my questions are - 1. Is it ok to run LMS and Plex together on PC? 2. Is there a better solution that just pulls movies from PC like the old WDTV live does? 3. Should I bite the bullet and get a separate server for music and Movies? All suggestions are welcome :-)) Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ scoobydoob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65321 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107127 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
