Android Tablet As Plex Server

We love this. The PLEX Server addon is a great feature.

Works as intended for a home NAS server for plex.

this is the second one I purchased and its best for network + plex server, easy to install and so reliable

Exactly as described. Works flawlessly on my windows 10 server running my Plex media.

Bought this to serve as a Plex Media Server, on the back of my Synology DS918+. Total overkill, really, but I've been wanting something more powerful than the Synology to transcode high bitrate videos. This NUC more than does the job. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installs without issues. If you're looking to run a Linux server on one of these, you can't go wrong. Idle usage is ~10W, peak usage around 90W, but it hovers around 50-60W most of the time when it's in use.

Excellent device so far! Easy to set up and use! Love the installed Plex Media Server.

This is not a console but you can have a lot of fun playing cheap Android game and much more! And is the best for Plex or Kodi sever! This is the amazing Android TV

I was using a homebrew Linux server for my Plex system. That machine died due to a power fluctution (looking at you First Energy). This was chosen as a replacement. Very much easier to manage, although not quite as versatile as a general prupose Linux system (then again NOTHING is as versatile).

First NAS I ever set up. Set up was pretty easy, (I set it up as a Plex Media Server. It’s been running for a couple of weeks and everything is working great!

This is definitely the easiest way to achieve 4K HDR with support for lossless audio formats (DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD) from Plex. Just make sure to select audio passthrough to let your AVR decode the signal. Beyond that, the UI is very responsive and easy to configure. I have it on wired gigabit Ethernet and have no problems streaming 4K UHD from my Plex server on another device in the house. I'm not using this device as a Plex server, but it seems to be capable of that feature. For those of you with an IR-based universal remote (i.e. Logitech Harmony 650 or similar), this does not have a built-in IR receiver. The remote does have an IR blaster, but that is used to control other devices if you wish to consolidate around the Shield remote. You can add IR support with something like an FLIRC and some customization, but it will take a bit of effort. Overall, this device is pretty pricey, but it's really the only one that can do it all when it comes to HD audio and video, which it tackles easily. While I generally have Roku devices around the rest of the house, I decided to spend the money on this for the media room to get compatibility for those HD formats.
