I'm here to learn. What's Plex? Is it a media player?
DIY Netflix and Spotify in one. You need hardware to run it on. So a computer and storage for the media. You could try it on any computer. For real use, a dedicated machine (doesn't have to be expensive) is ideal. For example, I have a ThinkCentre 715q with 4 disks attached to it in a cardboard box running it. You can watch and listen to your stuff from anywhere. Your phone, laptop, desktop, smart TV, Chromecast, etc.
I run it on a Synology Diskstation for plenty of storage and enough "oomph" for transcoding all in one gizmo. That also paired up nicely with an HD Homerun network TV tuner running up to an attic antenna to add local broadcast channels. It does a great job wrapping that with a cable-style menu and DVR.
Plex is an inferior and ad-filled version of the free software Jellyfin, which I can recommend much more :)
OK, thanks for the reply.
Ahh, that's why I keep hearing all the proprietary idiots mentioning it!
Lol, makes so much sense now.
And server, yes.
It can run on a Raspberry Pi 2. It’s not going to transcode, mind you, but works great - though I’d recommend a real drive, I was using one and it wore out its boot card.
I used to run it on a pi4, and pi2 before that. Something broke somewhere in my my install outside of Plex, I plan to get the project back up once and try jellyfin is a little more supported than it currently is.
