Plex with mod firmware #2

Open gioluca2 opened 3 years ago

gioluca2 commented 3 years ago

Hi, can I run plex with this mod firmware on my zyxel 325v2? Will I have ubuntu after your mods?

Thanks

it will install a custom debian - it's a bit old (Debian 8 Jessie) - so you might try considering an alternative (either try building a new debian or another project). Last time I tried, plex was usable (but forget about the realtime media conversion, as this nas simply does not enough hardware). Bye

Can you link me a valid alternative? I know that it's an old NAS, but I hope recent smart tv do the hard work. Do you think it will possible?

Try using a Raspberry Pi for the Plex server and have the nsa325 as a Cloud connected to the Pi that way the Pi takes care of the media conversions and other services that will otherwise slow/overpower the nsa325's hardware. I'm planning on trying it out this way since I still want to keep my nsa325 alive.
