Here attached you can find a little “essay” about what Lumin/MinimServer can offer Minimserver in this architecture becomes the “heart” of your streaming system and its “intelligent browsing” feature is really superlative. Of course you must have your metadata well organized to have a satisfactory experience. You should be aware that Lumin app is just a control point, it offers links to Allmusic and Last.fm but for this last one I don’t have any account. If you already have an upnp media server (I use MinimServer) and an MPD/Upmpdcli based streamer it would be rather easy to start with it. I’m using Lumin app and can confirm all the “good things” I emailed roon if they would give me any sort of discount and the answer was no. I've already used roon for 2.5 years and I thought the amount of money I put into it would be discounted from a lifetime sub.
#Replace logitech media server with roon software#
Is there any software that can stream music that is even remotely close to roon in terms of its organization, speed and meta data integration? I tried audirvana and found it extremely sluggish on my pc. Markos Vamvakaris the greatest artist of "Rembetiko". In the last screen we have Plex with 11 albums and only one similar artist. Tidal has 14 albums and below you can see the albums from other artists that he wrote songs. Greece's greatest composer of "Laiko" or Folk music. In the first 2 screenshots you can see the info from Vasilis Tsitsanis. Unless Plex expands the metadata info or someone else get in the game. I'll see how the summer will go and I'll renew my Roon because it is the best right now. I belong to the lucky ones that work now with the pandemic. But I WANT the streaming integration because I always discover music. With the local files I don't have a problem since I use Foobar and I'm happy. No advanced and complicated relations or so.Ī few months ago my Roon subscription ended and I decided to stop it. It's just a beautiful and powerful server. The second problem is that it's not Roon. I don't know if with HDMI passthrough can do something since I have a USB and I can't test it. No high res music or MQA if you use Tidal. The first bad thing is that it's not bitperfect. And on top of that it has remote support so you can hear your music from every part of the Globe assuming that you have a decent upload in your house. But with limitations.Īlthough it's excellent in terms of streaming since it's got clients for every device in existence it also supports DLNA for local networks.
