Thanks for the advice. I agree, it’s time for something else to pick up
some of its duties. I do have some video content on the NAS which would
be nice to be able to stream to other family members - but the processor
in the NAS isn’t up to transcoding on the fly. So perhaps I need
something that could run LMS and also run a media server / be able to
transcode. Not done any research into what that device would be - but I
think that might be a fun project for some time next year. I presume
that a pi4 wouldn’t have the necessary cpu power?

Cheers
