DOS76 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 my server is over 60TB but that is with 2 copies of the files so yeah depending on what you want to do 10TB can be nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriven Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Remember that just because you have the space doesn't mean you're obligated to fill it up. Keep it around and use it for the things you really care about collecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styphelus Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 For those in the dark, how does Plex work and what hardware do you need to build a Plex Server? I just ended up buying a very long and expensive HDMI cable to plug my computer to the TV. Reading these comments I feel like I'm way behind in tech.

neil9000 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Plex is a server client system. You install the server software on a pc preferably with a bit of horsepower for transcoding needs, then you install the client on other pc's. pi's, phones, game consoles etc. The client then streams the movie/tv show from the server to the client, either local or over the internet.

neil9000 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah same, and roku's and fire tv sticks as well, plex clients are on pretty much every device these day's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 But that only works for tv right? How would you deal with game controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Plex for PC natively works with controllers out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Monoprice.com, they have HDMI cables for less than a dollar a foot. The quality is excellent for the price paid and I have about 30 digital cables from them with no failures in 5 years. https://www.monoprice.com/search/index?keyword=hdmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
