ReadyNAS DLNA vs Plex
Hi I'm new to this, and understand that ReadyNAS has inbuilt DLNA features, what's the difference between this and the Plex add-on? Should I stick with the default, or use Plex? Yours Jonath...
Plex can transcode video. With DLNA it must be in a quality you can stream over your network and in exactly the right format for your client can play.
With Plex on the 314 you can do a little transcoding (there is a Community Plex NAS compatibility guide which shows what quality video should work) and the videos are presented in a nice way with artwork. Plex has a number of features which you can learn about at the Plex website (some are free, others you need PlexPass for).
