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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 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
