NAS and PLEX 4K Direct Play - Enquiries - 11-20-2024
Hello, I personally collect movies and series for hobby purposes. I have an Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 Android TV device and a Synology DS-920+ NAS device. I love Plex and I use Plex Media Server installed with Docker on the NAS. I also use the Plex application via Nvidia Shield TV. I watch movies and series files by using the NAS as a storage area. Sometimes I use very large video files such as 4K HDR Plus 10 bits, but I need to play them by transcoding. My question to you is: Do you have any recommendations for a NAS device that I can use to play 4K video files directly using PLEX without transcoding or file conversion? In other words, I want to play a 4K video file directly in 4K without converting it to 1080p. Is there any NAS device brand and model that you can recommend for this? Thank you for your support..
