Maybe better reliability as there is possible sd card corruption with RPi (not sure If pCP runs lms from RAM too or only squeezelite) . One extra free port on router /switch (assuming you want lms on wired lan)? Maybe easier backup? (no idea about backing up pCP config - most likely it's there too)
I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. Seriously nothing significant I can think of. On other hand. Your NAS is quite powerful but for some lower spec NAS devices moving LMS to RPi 4 will definitely give better performance. .. Ohh there was actually one thing I was happy about when moving from pinkdot's image to docker. (I know nothing to do with RPi) Pinkdot package had access to all NAS folders.. It was based on trust is not creating weak security spot for NAS. With docker there is extra isolation and only music library exposed to LMS.. Probably no big deal but I was previously bit uneasy with that. Yet again this applies to RPi which you give only limited NAS access. If your NAS is able to and indeed does hibernate then probably better to stick to RPi LMS... I run virtual Dsm on mine so hibernation is not possible and lms makes no difference. 3x Squeezebox Touch, 4x Squeezebox Radio, Squeezelite (RPi 3B with HiFiBerry DAC+Pro on OSMC), Material Skin Apk, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 with Material Skin (Docker in DS218+) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111876 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
