Plex Server v Streaming Device

[SoAdCrAzY]

I have an Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max with Kodi and a NAS and can't complain much. I've tried other apps such as Plex but prefer Kodi.

Plex has been a pleasure to use so far - only hiccup I had was trying to move my library from NAS 1 (where plex is installed) to NAS 2 (where the larger HDD are). took me a while to work out i needed to mount network shares on NAS 1 pointing at new folders on NAS2 and it was a doodle to add these in via plex library management. Think i will simplify things in a bit by running plex on NAS 2 instead

I've been using a Plex for years, I have no real complaints. My current setup is a Plex server running on my server and I use a Ugoos AM6B+, running coreelec and PlexKodiConnect, as the client. There's the odd tech gremlin here and there, but nothing a quick client restart doesn't fix.

I used the standard Plex App for everything (and would have definitely agreed with you), until I discovered there's a dedicated UI (Plexamp App) for music.

Likely there are still better alternatives, but Plexamp for music is miles better than trying to do it through normal Plex app.

plexamp is defacto now since they have removed music library access from the main plex app

I guess if you think you might want to share your library (or access it outside the house ? ) then plex is the obvious option. I use a synolgy (a '+' model) Load the app add the media. couldn't be easier, and it transcode in h/w since i got a plex pass many years ago

I've been using Plex for close to a decade now, front end is well organised and easy to use, for ages I used it with Roku devices, but the built in app in HiSense and LG TVs is more than sufficient for me now.
