![]() ![]() on the NAS, would it be preferable to install Plex outside of the HDDs that are in the ZFS structure, on a SSD for example, so as not to take up space on a "storage" HDD? Another way to phrase this, is should I plan on installing any app, program, plugin on a separate drive from the storage HDDs that will be holding my media, and then the media server software would access the appropriate drive to transcode/stream the content?ģ) This is specific to the PlayStation 3, so I'm curious if anyone on here uses their PS3 as their smart menu/client to access their NAS media server to view movies. If it is ideal, then I take it FreeNAS would be installed on this PC/HTPC and the NAS would be hooked up to it almost acting as an external storage device?Ģ) If I build per your requirements and install Plex, etc. Is this the ideal setup? I'm guessing the answer is "no" as all I've read on here is that you install Plex, etc. when streaming it to the client (PS3, etc) to watch. I have a few questions about the proper design for this setup.ġ) I heard that if I have a NAS it should be for storing my media (movies, etc) and then have a separate PC system (home theater PC - HTPC) to run Plex or another media server (PS3 Media Server, JRiver, Kodi, etc) to handle all the transcoding, etc. With that said, before I even get to hardware configurations, etc. to a NAS that I can stream to my Playstation 3 (primary), MacBook Pro, iMac, etc.Īfter watching a number of youtube videos and reading through this website/forum, I've decided to make the plunge with FreeNAS. Over the last week, I've decided I get with it and set up a NAS for my home and ultimately backup my DVDs, etc. ![]()
