Re: Help building a NAS

Ive been looking at the synology but I did read something about them charging you a fee for YOUR camera hooked up to YOUR synology on YOUR network....kinda bullshit.


I agree it's BS


With plex you can play the files locally and remotely on basically anything and also share your library with anyone to stream it off your PC or server. It saves where you stopped watching something and remembers what season and which episode you finished and auto downloads the posters and covers for each movie and show you have. Another big reason it's awesome is basically what venom is asking for, minus the 4kudh part...it automatically transcodes your files to play on whatever device you're playing on. Many TVs can't play a lot of different popular formats and plex fixes that. Audio file is DTS and your TV only supports AAC? Plex transcodes it on the fly. It's just really handy once you get it setup. Plex isn't neccessary, just makes everything convenient.


Thanks. I knew about the transcoding functionality and the other bells and whistles seem nice. 

Do you have this along something like sickbeard/sickrage/sonarr?
