New user, looking for discussion on direct scan library vs DLNA

If you are going to use a locally attached touch screen I'd suggest getting a decent sized one for example the 10.1" WINAXIT. You and your guests will have a much better experience :-) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1...gKNmvD_BwE

Great tip, that's a really nice and compact looking one. My 7" screen was bought just as kind of a proof of concept and I had almost given up trying to get jellyfin media player to run natively on a raspberry pi as all the ones I could find either don't work, or don't have ARM64 source code anymore. I decided to give one last look at some other things and came upon moode after a horrible experience with jukeblaster (maybe it works good, but my library is very large, 80k+ songs so it just crawled and became unresponsive too often and the support seems to be limited since it's just one guy left answering forum questions). Moode so far handles everything well and I've got the entire system running on standard POE with no fan (though it does run at 71degC when being used). I wonder if this 10.1" screen could run on the same, I might try it and if it doesn't work maybe I will try a POE+ hat and see how it goes. I was already looking at trying to get a 15" touch monitor from a laptop or something and see if I could get that to work now that I have moode up and going.

As far as the Library goes, if your collection is tagged then just access it directly by creating a Remote NAS Source in moode Library Config. Then you just use moOde WebUI to access it.

Thank you for this, it sounds like I probably went the correct route and everything is working fine so I will just stop thinking about this now.
