Don’t know much about mono, maybe it would be possible to cross-compile static binary on desktop and just get that one there… So yes, more chance with Emby, but will still take quite some work But given it’s written in Mono would require somebody to package Mono in OpenWRT and after that the app might be packaged. But for Emby there might be a chance to get it running. And they are the only ones that can do that except somebody reverse engineering their protocol and writing opensource client. Could be generic armv7 static compiled binary. Well, with closed source application, the only option is that the company behind it would have to support Omnia kind of device and provide binary for it. So 6 years headstart and still i am amazed how far Emby has gotten if you compare (which i have and still actively doing) two Media servers with each other. Also on many levels i find Emby a bit better in transcoding then Plex.ĮDIT: I looked on the web, as far as i can see Emby indeed is around since halfway 2013 while Plex has started around 2007. Emby media server is fairly new in the game so it is developing rather quickly if you ask me.

However it is still a bit behind Plex, but as i believe in the open source philosophy i THINK this is just matter of time. There is now a days since 2013 if i am not wrong another OPEN SOURCE application called “Emby”. Plex indeed is a closed source application. Indeed if we talk about 4K or higher, i am not touching (advising) that with a 10 feet pole :P. Raspberry pi 3 has a 802.11N wifi chip if i am correct and a 100 Mbit lan. I am not sure how this is slow regarding the network.
