eb browser or through the Android app or Roku channel, all of which have file/metadata search.
There's also granular control of things like user and remote access, much better control of transcodng and formats as well as library customizations.
The only place that Plex has a clear advantage is...
I am not trying to devolve this into an argument here but you simply have no idea what you are even comparing Plex to. With the Kodi plug in, the UI is the Kodi UI with the benefit of Mezzmo's superior library and Playlist management. The library/ playlists are also accessible through any w
If you want Netflix, Hulu and the streaming of local media then get an Amazon FireTV or FireTV Stick.
Install Mezzmo on your server and the Mezzmo App on your FireTV.

Smooth as butter.
Alternately, if you decide you want to stream to PC locations...
Except that broad sweeping statements like this will wreck any good strategy.
For instance, JD Power says that Subaru is 22% more likely than Chevrolet to break down. Too many exceptions. I used to be the GSM at a Honda Dealership. Check out the transmission issues in a Honda from the...
It will take about 7 years to upload everything.
This might be useful if you have a few GB of favorites or something. But I think I will end up using a lot less internet if I just stream from directly from my server. Who's server isn't on 24/7 and connected to a UPS already?
For just media storage?

You can probably build it out of spare parts that you have lying around the garage. Much less overhead than FreeNAS.
As XavierMace said, I would never, ever, ever use a RAID 0 for bulk storage or anything I need critical access to. Do you mean RAID 1? That would make a lot more sense.
I want to set up a small, inexpensive PC that I can just leave on 24/7 as a remote gateway to the rest of the PCs on my network via TightVNC. Need something that will run Windows smoothly since I will use RDP to access the other PCs on my network when I am logging in remotely.
Something like...
I always knew the K-mart smell from the mixed Deli+Popcorn thing they had going on in the 70s and 80s.
Ours just closed a couple of months ago. Thank goodness. It was a mercy killing.
I thought about a Passport or Z30 but my problem was even getting a huge chunk of my apps to just load. It didn't matter which version of BB10 I was running. Most would just error out when I opened them or would freeze at a load screen. I was a wipe and reinstall with a fresh OS guy (every...
I finally dropped my BB Z10 on May 6 in favor of a BB Priv. After a couple of months and many hours of fiddling, it is simply a fact that BB10 is easier to use than Android for almost anything. It takes about a week to really adjust to the BB10 OS but after that most things are as easy as...
I am not sure how you are storing your media but if it is on a windows PC you should look into Mezzmo. If presentation and customizability are important, there is simply nothing better.

Best Phone(s): Blackberry Bold 9700/Blackberry 9780
Worst Phone: Lumia 800
Best Tablet: Kindle Fire HD 6 (for my 5 year old)
Worst Tablet: Tabeo e for my 8 year old.
The Bold was bullet proof and did exactly what I wanted at the time (pre-BB implosion). Great keyboard and could go 3 days or...
I worked as a team lead in advanced technical support for DirecTV for a couple of years. From 2011 to 2015 they used WD Green and Seagate Barracudas in their DVRs.
I think they may be operating off of the BackBlaze concept of whatever is the least expensive and they have a disclaimer that...
I have the same soundbar and periodically use it to stream music via bluetooth from my phone(s) or tablet(s). I have never experienced this.
I don't use streaming services, though, most of my stuff is streamed from my server and they have been had their levels ?calibrated?.
If you are...
I know my normal IP address from my ISP so when I turn on the VPN I check www.whatismyip.com if the IP address comes back different then I know I'm good.
Since you're traveling, I would probably take the extra step to check whatismyip.com before I turn on my VPN and then check to make sure...
If you can find something like an AC68R or $70 then you should jump on it, although I have owned both and found no performance difference between the two.
I wouldn't take an AC-87U (new or refurb) over a C7.
It's probably the best value in AC routers out there. I have had one for almost 4 years (v1) replacing my D-Link 825. I was nothing but pleased. You can buy a more expensive router with more features but this is more than enough for 95% of households out there.
TheELF and The Ryuu are the correct ones here.
Do Not Convert, just remux. Remuxing will take about 500% less time and you will maintain 100% of the quality vs. any conversion.
Just to prevent confusion, you should be referring to #5 as a Wired Access Point. Because you have it wired in, you are maximizing your bandwidth vs. using #6 as a Wireless Extender. Because Wireless Extenders pick up a wireless signal and retransmit, you lose half of your potential speed. If...
If it's JUST for movies then why would you buy anything but an Amazon Kindle Fire 10.1"

Maybe your in-laws have realized that you get annoyed with the smallest controversies and tend to blast their personal conversations all over places they don't belong.
I wouldn't share anything more than the most trivial things either.
Move to Idaho. Here's what $575,000 gets you:
