Question DLNA Server vs Plex & Tidal ?

[jdandy1234]

Hello All. Question. I am always trying to use my Synology NAS to its fullest extent. Is there any advantage in setting up a DLNA server on it. I am already running Plex on it , and on client PCs running Tidal for music. It just seems, at least for music, there is no need for DLNA in 2022..am I missing something ? or is it to just save money on streaming service and playing audio files in through NAS ?

If all your clients are PCs, you don't even need Plex (which is also DLNA server) on the NAS - these clients can access the media library using standard network access (\\nas\media).
