Just found out about the new ReadyNAS product line. First question that came to mind is: is Logitech Media Server (LMS) still supported on this platform? I currently am very happy with my NVX but I ...
The Touch isn't running LMS, the NV+ is. As I understand it only a stripped-down version of LMS will run on the Touch, and it's intended only for use with a USB drive, not for reading files off a NAS. In my setup LMS (for gregb: currently version 7.7.1~33740) "runs" (labors) on the NV+.
The point is just to get LMS off the NV+ and onto something else on which it will run with reasonable responsiveness, and use the NV+ only as file storage. The point of using a Wandboard/Beagleboard/CuBox/ is to avoid having a large PC or a laptop solely for the purpose of playing audio and use a small, dedicated PC - that's fanless and will fit in the cabinet with the amp, DAC, and CD/LP players.
