Easiest way to set up a plex server on linux?

Yeah, that would be an enormous undertaking.

What I’d love to see is some kind of Plex “certification” where a streaming gizmo has some little Plex badge on the package … Maybe a 2-3 tier system, with the top tier meaning full support for DV and passing through every audio codec.

If any manufacturers cooperated, you guys testing the devices and OKing the certification badge wouldn’t be too much work. And that relationship might spur manufacturers to make Plex-friendly software fixes more promptly.
