Hi,
I'm new to Plex and setting up a server for my parents. The clients will be samsung smart tv app, xbox one or apple tv 4 (main tv). 95% of the media is 1080p or 720p x264 in mkv container, the rest is SD avi xvid.
I currently have the server running on my NAS, QNAP TS-439 Pro II which is an Atom D510 I believe, quite old. Even when it says Direct Play, sometimes there is "lagging" and trying to turn on subtitles means it basically just will not play. I check and the transcode process is using 90% cpu. Even browsing the menu is sometimes sluggish. There will be only 1 maybe 2 concurrent users (5% of the time or less)
What would you suggest as a standalone HW solution with mapped drives from the NAS as the content store? Raspberry Pi2? PINE A64+? Intel NUC? If so, what horsepower is required? Any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
