I don’t think I saw any mention, curious if you had the PlexPass. That says, it seems like PLEX has a huge following and strong community. We watch a lot of sports here, so cable cutting right now isn’t on my immediate horizon.Īfter reading a lot of stuff, everyone has opinions, requirements differ, and while someone will make a negative comment about product X and someone else says they can’t live without it clearly there’s a lot of breadth of product and needs. I like the recording capabilities in PlayOn (and some of the channels, though I probably have more channels than I need anyway).

I have given up on my TV tuner in my old HP Media Center box as my cable company scrambles most everything and found the media software that says they can work with tuners (Emby, etc) to very hard to deal with. Have played with PlayOn and Plex and a little with Jjriver. The objective is to make as much of the content (less DRM issues) available on every device Then I want to be able to cast from the media server to any other DLNA player other TV’s, Blurays, Chromecasts, etc, as well as the mobile devices). My intent was to connect the media server to the Onkyo via HDMI and thus feed the big TV. Resurrected a 5 year old laptop (i7, 6Gb) as media server. My large screen LG if connected to my AVR and most of the components are Ethernet connected, running 100G between two hubs on different floors and two joined wifi network, mostly to handle the mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, kindles, LG phones). I have two NAS devices (small 3Tb Seagate and WD) on my network. I’m hooked into ITunes now, and yes I scream about it every now and then. My digital library of Music and Video is just shy of 1Tb but I have only about 15% of my movies in digital format at this point.
I’m a retired IT guy who just doesn’t want to spend every waking hour being Sys Admin and would like my wife to be able to use some of this. Just catching up with your article as I’m researching (again) changing/building my system – quite a bit more modestly. Similarly, the second network port on the server connects to my local network and the Internet - obviously important so that I can access Plex. The Synology’s second port is connected to my broader network, allowing me to access it directly when adding new media or performing updates and maintenance. I therefore know that, regardless of any other congestion on my network, the media files will get from the DS2413+ to the server unobstructed. This lets me point PMS directly to the Synology’s internal IP, ensuring a direct and unobstructed connection between the NAS and server. The DS2413+ has two network connections, so I have one of those ports directly wired to one of the two ports on the server. I elected to use Synology’s Drobo-like “Hybrid RAID” configuration with two-disk redundancy, leaving me with about 37TB of usable space. The actual media itself is stored on a Synology DiskStation DS2413+ loaded up with twelve 4TB Western Digital Se hard drives. The above system runs the Plex Media Server software, stores all the metadata, and transcodes outgoing media if necessary.
