The Plex server I mentioned was on a VB which due to being on 32bit hardware and 2.3 won't run Spotty. LMS has moved to a Pi3 but because I had hacked about with the VB to get it to rip to and read from my NAS via NFS I am still using it for ripping but LMS is off. I switched Plex on to see what it was like for movies as opposed to Kodi which I normally use. My main point though was that for music Plex is nowhere near as good as LMS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk *Pi3 with piCoreplayer music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets/Jogglers *Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s *Office* - Pi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107925 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
