Well written article. Unfortunately many will still try to achieve multi-room playback over WiFi and get audio sync problems whilst saying that their Signal Strength is near 100%.

New 3LP/5CD version of this album about to be released. I’ll stick thanks as I have already got on Vinyl and CD. Great album though. ♪ Playing White Room by Cream from Wheels of Fire (CD) (1968) • Disc 1 - In The Studio (Local • 936kbps VBR, 16bit, 44.1kHz, -2.97dB, FLC)

My files are actually on an ancient over 10 years old QNAP (TS419). The Lyrion database is on the Pi and as I said earlier I did see a speed increase on scanning when I moved to Pi5 and things became generally snappier. I always use high quality SD cards. Cheap ones are a recipe for failure IMHO.

Where are your files? I run a Pi5 8gb RAM for Lyrion with files on a NAS. Scanning is appreciably quicker than it was using a Pi4 but Material is "snappy" enough for me even utilising search. I only use PlexAmp in the car via CarPlay where navigation and searching are almost irrelevant.

I suspect this is an academic discussion as WiiM are showing no interest in actually taking the Plex integration any further. They must have decided it is unlikely to sell them any more hardware.

I said I would consider it. No. You made no mention of the iOS, Android, Windows and Mac Apps all of which are "Endpoints" and none of which (to my knowledge) require a Plex Pass. As you know I am almost 100% Lyrion but I use Plex for Video and I also use PlexAmp on my iPhone for music when...

2 things. 1. IMHO Plex is pretty good and if I had to choose something other than Lyrion I’d consider it for use with WiiM as it stands. 2. You only need a Plex Pass if you want to run PlexAmp on a Pi. The relevant app will work without on an iOS , Android or indeed Windows PC. I haven’t tried...

“The second most important band from Liverpool.” Not my words but apparenly considered so by some. Great band either way. I saw Deaf School back in 1974 at The Greyhound, Croydon when they were touring in support of their debut album - 2nd Honeymoon. This is the follow up. FLAC from my...
