For now, my 2 media hard drives are connected to my gigabyte brix which is my tv connected media player. In the past I used an old q6600 as my plex server but I think Instead of trying to run 2 servers (and try and get the IQ I demand streaming over the network) on that one box, I am just going to make the Brix my new plex server for any time I need to stream stuff to some other TV or remote player online when I am on the go (very infrequent).
This means my Brix player will have all videos local, as well as a fully configured plex server. Now I like the plex browser a lot, but I really need the ability to launch the video into a high quality player like MPC for full decode support and maximum subtitle support. Plex does not seem to support any of this, so anyone know of any other media browser software that leaves the player up to the user?
I tried using kodi and failed miserably. I added a directory with some tv shows to it and it did absolutely nothing. Unfortunately finding any videos that could help me is futile, %100 of the videos out there are for installing pirate streaming addons. Thats right, %100! -_-
Anyways as I said, It does not need any streaming support, just a media browser for local content (tv show seasons and movies), and needs to defer playback to a good external player.
