(oh, and I'd have to replace the top left logo in the web UI - don't ask me to do that!) idle curiosity, would that be difficult? I don't have the necessary fonts to start with. And I'm not an image editor... but first of all it's the kind of work which is a waste of time in most cases. Who cares, really? The web UI would require a major overhaul, not a new logo top left :-). ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I use LMS to stream videos and photos to my TV and/or other streaming clients. - What's the media scanner? Should I try it? - I don't care. I have never used LMS for video because I did not know it had the capability. Perhaps this is an information problem? A few questions/issues to consider: 1. What advantage does LMS have for pictures and video that cannot be obtained via other options? For example, one advantage LMS has over other music server options is its ability to manage very large music collections as well as integrate music from some streaming services. (Or has Sonos increased its ability for large music collections?) 2. Would improving LMS's handling of non-music media get more people to use LMS? My guess is probably no. How many people converted their DVD libraries onto hard drives? The introduction of streaming services occurred early enough before the cost and size of hard drives dropped to be very cheap. 3. Would dropping non-music media support free up time for Michael and others to focus on more important improvements to LMS? To answer the question, if support for non-music media was dropped, I would not miss it.

me. Do we also have to rename LMS to Logitech Music Server then? :-) Hahah... I was actually wondering about this when I went out for lunch. It's the kind of work I prefer not to do, because it doesn't add anything. And for the vast majority of users LMS always has been about music only, and they never complained about the "Media" in the name. So I'd think that the acronym wouldn't change anyway. So why even touch the name? :-) (oh, and I'd have to replace the top left logo in the web UI - don't ask me to do that!) ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

There were all sorts of suggestions, and we settled on the adopted name (formal name) being simply LMS. So, to the best of my knowledge, LMS stands for LMS.

Only use it for music. Does removing the video scanner help make LMS a more lean mean machine or does it just free up resources to focus on core mission of music? Removing that feature won't have much of an impact on most installations. It's already pretty much inactive unless you use the UPnP plugin and enable media scanning for some folder. But it would save me some hassle trying to build the necessary module with all its dependencies for new platforms. ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Is it time to get rid of the Video & Photos scanner?
I vote NO - concentrate resources on music, which is where LMS really excels. Guy Stalnaker On 2/22/22 17:08, mherger wrote: I was wondering whether the "Media Scanner" in LMS still makes sense (besides the music, of course). The "M" in LMS stands for Media, not Music. But is this really being used? There are much more powerful options out there to stream videos and photos to your TV. Why should LMS still bother?

I wouldn't be heart broken since I don't think I've actually watched a full movie using it but it worked kinda nice in my testing and meant I didn't need to install and configure another piece of software on my server. sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116014 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
