ah right that's found it. Quick play, I prefer LMS for the Wiim.

@rccarguy - hopefully you can try that.Unless you enable DLNA in Plex it won't appear there.
My master copy is on a PC which is then synced to a NAS for 24*7 access and backed up to offline storage - whenever I get around to it.That is so true, so do you usually keep a manual back up of your NAS drive?
I guess I could invest in an external USB3 drive for that specific purpose.
@rccarguy and @simbun - can you kindly help me make the right decision in terms a nice entry level NAS drive?
Do you think this will serve me well:-

Let me have your expert thoughts.
Can you post screen shots?ah right that's found it. Quick play, I prefer LMS for the Wiim.
That's cool, any set-ups to enable that?And just navigating video files in my NAS via Kodi direct accessing directories.
The WHA doesn't support LMS.Oh, so WHA supports LMS? - sorry, I'm a bit confused, I was under the impression that you have to use a dedicated LMS phone app to access the music files.
Just came across this on the LMS website:-The WHA doesn't support LMS.
Noted.@rccarguy will always recommend LMS no matter your requirements. For folder browsing it's a ridiculously complicated solution, especially given its folder browsing capabilities are very basic.
Thank you for clarifying that. I understand your preference for LMS but my needs are super simple.Topic is probably diverging into multiple sections, where you might not need it.
But accessing share on NAS, you'll access the drive(s) once you enter nas name, username and password, you can then see directories you then save each one as either music, tv shows, movies. You can then access these directories in kodi.
For Wiim, similar, you enter in nas name, username and password see the directories, then enter in music path.
yeah you don't need LMS. Wiim directory acess will be enough .
My music collection is in the multiple TB so browsing by directory would be impossible.
All WiiM products except the Mini can act as LMS endpoints (can be used as players from within the LMS system) but the WHA can't access the LMS library.Just came across this on the LMS website:-
Several streamers and amps available from WiiM natively support LMS. Presently, this includes the WiiM Pro, Pro Plus, Ultra, and Amp.
Oh I get it now, thanks for explaining that clearly.All WiiM products except the Mini can act as LMS endpoints (can be used as players from within the LMS system) but the WHA can't access the LMS library.
Thanks for that important reminder.Don't forget you'll need to buy hard drives.
Ok, that really made me laugh but you make such a good and valid point. Are they SSDs or spindles? and are they fast enough?I personally use WD Elements and "shuck" them. Due to extortionate pricing of loose drives.

@Samazar
One of the limitations of using samba access in the WHA is that they can't be added to playlists.
It's quite popular on the forum (I've been using it for more than a decade) so I can't think why, unless its still indexing.ok.
Installed minimserver but wiim home app isn't finding it.
I think the only problem will be if @Samazar wants to see filenames at the track level as MinimServer displays the Title tag by default (if available) and can't be changed in the free version.Minimserver works and is simple enough.
Not entirely too bad but it would eventually frustrate me - any way to resolve it?@Samazar
