Running Plex Media Server on my ReadyNAS
Hi Guys The following questions may seem silly but everything stems from wanting to turn my ReadyNAS Duo V2 into a media server, here we go: Specifications:- Model: ReadyNAS Duo v2 Firmware: R...
Hi StephenB
Yes, I understood that transcoding reduces picture quality because my research, which vandermerwe lead me to, made this clear and, reading between the lines, the ReadyNAS Duo v2 was never designed with "transcoding" in mind. Therefore, if I wanted a media server I would have had to buy an x86 enabled NAS, which cost much more than the Duo v2.
Mind you, I did not know any of this when I bought my Duo v2, simply because I was thinking primarily of buying a backup and storage unit.
