Last I checked Plex doesn't have tone mapping for HDR to SDR. It would look like total shit and completely washed out color wise. Plex uses ffmpeg to transcode and there just isn't a method to do it.
That means you'll want something that can direct play or direct stream like an nvidia shield. I think a NAS isn't really needed for plex so you could save some money and just build an htpc and buy the shield as the client unless your TV has the plex app that has direct play.
Subject:
I didnt mean transcoding I guess. My tv has direct play plex app. 4k works really good with asus ac1900. I just need like 10TB and enough room to upgrade to 50TB. Also going to be using it as a nas nvr

I have a Synology and I would recomment it except maybe for the video surveillance part since they make you pay a fee per camera connected I think.
I don't really get the benefits of Plex vs a dlna/media server with Kodi clients if someone cares to explain.

Buy a Netapp E-series. Problem solved.
Subject:
Yeah I don't think I need quite that much.

That's the solution I went with at work. It's a beast

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
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?
Subject: Re: Help building a NAS
Subject:
Yes, I'm familiar with these apps. I used to have sickbeard and couchpotato running on my previous NAS but I mostly stream now and I rarely rewatch stuff (with a few exceptions of course)
I only run Mylar for comics these days. Sorry for derailing the thread :)

Oh, I see. So now Mr "storage device" has something to say?
You know who you are butt hole! :D Page 1 of 1
