It is CLI only, but simple. I use it to expose a movie directory on an external USB drive to a Roku stick. You have to make sure your files are in the right format, and the interface is a bit dated, but it works. Roku Media Player file types: Video — H.264/AVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), on Roku 4 only: H.265/HEVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); VP9 (.MKV) Audio – AAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); MP3(.MP3, .MKV); WMA (.ASF, .WMA, .MKV), FLAC (.FLAC, .MKV), PCM (.WAV, .MKV, .MP4, .MOV), AC3/EAC3 (.MKV,.MP4. .MOV, .AC3), DTS (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), ALAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV, .M4A) Image — JPG, PNG, GIF (non-animated) ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] Plex alternatives?
Kodi > MediaTomb , but it doesn't look like you're looking for a media center application, just a upnp server? Emby sure looks cool, hadn't seen that before. I think MediaTomb Setup was easier than ReadyMedia like 6 years ago (or was it minidlna then?) I actually used xbmc on an xbox, and it has always worked great for me, used it on a Raspberry pi for my media for a while... Bet Kodi would run great on the Pi 3. All these opinions are based on really old versions of the apps you mentioned On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 11:32 AM, Michael Rasmussen wrote: > Plex isn't as open as I'd like.

[PLUG] Plex alternatives?
Plex isn't as open as I'd like. What are your votes for an alternative? One's I've found so far: * emby * kodi * MediaTomb * ReadyMedia My use case is to feed my local stuff to a Roku. -- Michael Rasmussen, Portland Oregon Be Appropriate && Follow Your Curiosity It's the HoHo in HoHoHo! ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
