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 (again) StephenB
"Transcoding" is something I have never heard of until a few days ago when looking into the possibility of using Plex, but first let me list out what I was thinking of before purchasing my Duo V2:-
My priorities, listed in order of importance, are:
1) Full Backup for my PC.
2) Restore full backup to new PC.
3) Off loading my non-important files to (which are taking up space on my PC).
4) Ability to retrieve files as and when required.
5) The ability to stream stored films to my TV, so that the rest of the family can watch them.
6) Allow my son, with my permission, access certain stored files.
As you can see, streaming films was number 5) on my list of priorities, so now 20 months later I am looking into the possibility of streaming films to my TV. Plex requires more power than the Arm chip can deliver so I am looking for solutions elsewhere.
BTW, 1) - 4) had been achieved (not actually tried no. 2 yet), 6) is a non-starter because the "permissions" do not work and so I just have no. 5) to sort out.
