I don't use the plugins you list in your original post, but I've not had any problems with those I do use (the various BBC iPlayer plugins, Spotty, mostly). Remember, you could easily turn off the old LMS running on the QNAP rather than uninstall it. That way you could easily go back to it if something isn't working on the Pi. I prefer piCorePlayer because it runs in RAM - power can be cut without damage to the SD card. The Max2Play guys post in these forums, so maybe they'll be along shortly. AFAIK Max2Play is more of a full-fledged linux distro for the Pi, useful if you want to do other things as well as run LMS.
