I can't really tell how they compare. I think I once looked at OMC and also
Cody.
Plex was my choice almost from the start because of the many clients that can
use it.
I have a client on my iPhone and it shows up as a media server on my network so
even old players like our WD-TV can at least access the library folders and
playlists.
Firefox does a good job with the web interface and Plex is happy to stream to
web player clients.
I know that most if not all Samsung sets starting in 2017 have the built-in
screen reader.
My set is to old but I've set up several for friends.
I seem to recall they talk out of the box for the first power-up.
After that you have to hold something on the remote to turn it back on if you
disabled it during set up.
On the audio side of things I put an image on one of the RPIs called Volumio.
It is a dedicated audio streamer. It can do web radio and access network
resources in your home to do libraries and playlists.
It has a large list of active radio stations and you can add favorites for
library items and stations.
Again I'm just using SSH and the web interface to a running Volumio image is
almost completely accessible.
If the web interface lets me down I just ssh in and tweak things.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. How does plex compare to OSMC?
As for the tv itself how did you get speech going?
Thanks.
Dave.

The web interface leaves a bit to be desired but it is manageable.
I can also interface Amazon Alexa and voice command media playback.
Plex can cast to Chromcast or Fire-TV devices as well as many set-top
players.
Samsung TVs have a build-in client that actually talks through their
on-board screen reader.

Hello,
Is anyone using OSMC on either a Pi 3B+ or 4B and if so is it
accessible? If so i'd like to get it going with this new tv that was
got.
Thanks.
Dave.
