Hello all,
I have been using Plex for 10 years now and wouldn't change for anything. I have a simple setup:
Windows box - Intel i7-8700 3.70 Ghz
Highspeed Internet 300MB down & 20MB Up
15TB (and growing) on 7 8TB drives inside 2 USB drive cradles.
OTA antenna with HDhomerun tuner
IPTV in Plex.
About 20 Family users stream to their homes.

I had to change the server a few years back but other than that, works today as
it did in 2014. I use Roku TV for the living room, Roku Ultra in the bedroom , Roku Stick in the spare bedroom. I take the Roku Ultra on the road with me
and it worked in Greece and in Ireland without buffering. Been all over the USA
and Canada as well.

I use Google Chrome Remote Desktop to access the server when away to
keep it up and ruuning. I run Filebot to rename all files to the Plex format.

More people need to setup their own servers and take a bite out of the Cable &
streaming services revenue. The cost has tripled+ since 2014 and we need to get
the cost back down.

Happy Easter!

Reading your post made me want to log back in to your BBS but I can't remember my
password. Can you email it to me please?

I am definitely into the streaming services. When I travel n the RV, I use a TV app
(Spectrum) to stream things on my DVR at home. I also have just about every service
you can think of.

Sounds like you have quite a setup!

My setup isnt much but it does the job.

Thanks

I've also been running plex for about 10-11 years or so. I got fed up with paying to be advertized to.. so I managed to buy an old but cheap 2U server from work with 6 bays capable of 2 TB per bay. So I'm at about 8 TB and its basically filled. The wife loves her Simpsons/Family Guy/Bobs Burgers/ANYTHING Crime and I'm a StarTrek Addict. My background noise is Trek in rotation.. DS9 -> STTNG -> Voyager -> Anything new thats out ...I still can't get thru enterprise.. I dunno why.

Its just a great place to get all your stuff in one place. I stream to my phone from anywhere. Nothing nicer then a slow day at work provisioning machines all day with some trek on in the background ;)
