After a half a decade of auditioning a number of media server packages, Logitech Media Server has made me into a convert.
In the past, I've auditioned Roon (over priced for what it offers), JRiver (the remote control apps are lacking, and the CEO's attitude towards customers is confrontational, but its DSP-Over-DLNA facility is very good), BubbleUPnP Server (adequate but without DSP), Plex (I just didn't like the GUI/UX), MusicBee (I still use it as a local player, but it's UPnP-DLNA server plug-in is buggy), and Emby (a beautiful and pleasant GUI/UX, but no DSP). I settled on Emby with a couple of other applications (AutoEQ, Macast and Desktop Audio Streamer) in order to apply DSP to Google Cast and DLNA streams. It worked fine, and the UX was pleasant, but having to run three other applications along side it just didn't set well with me; as a software engineer and data scientist, efficiency and optimization are big deals to me. Although I'd seen mentions of LMS I just never got around to auditioning it. I think the current open source nature of the project put me off as I've not had good experiences with such in the past. Well, I can now say that I shouldn't have let that put me off. I've been auditioning LMS over the past two weeks and have found it to be an impressive piece of software. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised, though, given its commercial origins. Well done to all the developers involved. You've made me another satisfied convert... 😎 38803 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: tia4515462821726785780.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38803| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ artatgray's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=73037 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116870 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
