  • That’s the whole point. I’m going to guess that the media on your flash drive was ripped from physical media at some point in the chain.

    Having access to the physical media gives you the ability to do what you want with it… Want it on a flash drive? Great do it. Want it on your plex sever so you can stream it yourself? Cool. Want to put it on a modded ipod classic? Cool.

    VS. The way the Music / Film industries want you to have to access this data. They don’t want it on your plex server, they don’t want it on your flash drive.

    Mark my words when physical media dies they will find more ways to crack down even harder on us enjoying content the way we want. Hell now a days they even restrict what browsers you can use to access media.






  • Oh man this is rad. This is what done houses in the 70’s and 80’s had. A central sound system throughout the house.

    I think you’re looking for a receiver obviously to handle the inputs but then you also need a multi-room amplifier. I’m pretty sure it also has another name, but something like this: Juke Audio

    I’ll follow this thread because I’m always interested in everyone’s suggestions.

    Probably not what you’re looking for but you can roll your own “smart” speakers that work directly with home assistant and play audio that way. Doesn’t help with audio input from like a TV, but it’s what I’ve got to offer at the moment because it’s what I’m working on at the moment.

    Edit:the other name they go by is “matrix amplifier”. Good luck bud.
