Plex Media Server kräver lite cpu-kraft och då räcker inte 2000 kr långt är jag rädd för. Om inte transcodning/streaming till iPad är ett krav funkar det vilken simpel NAS som helst (men kör då hellre Twonky, Minidlna eller någon annan "lättare" mediaserver än Plex).
Från Plex wiki:http://wiki.plexapp...._Server_and_NASRunning PMS on the NAS itself means you’ll need to choose a NAS that meets a few basic criteria. It will need to:
- Be a QNAP, Synology or ReadyNAS model with an x86 CPU and have a CPU fast enough to transcode the type of media you want to watch, on the types of clients you want to watch it on, or
- Be an ARM supported model (currently only the ReadyNAS and Synology ARM models). Note that ARM models do not support transcoding at all, and likely never will. The format of your media will need to 100% match the formats your clients can play in order to work with an ARM-based NAS. Without the transcoder you are also likely to run into issues when viewing your media remotely as you will only be able to stream the media at full bit-rate, needing an internet connection with a high bandwidth
There are also situations where transcoding is required even if your media is compatible with your playback device, this can be the case when:
- Using subtitles - these are added on the server side so need to be “burnt into” the video stream, meaning it needs to be re-encoded
- Accessing your media remotely and your connection does not have the bandwidth to streaming the movie at its native bit-rate or resolution. Transcoding will be used here to make "the stream" smaller so it can fit over the bandwidth you do have available
