Hi,

My setup is as follows:

  • [A] Raspberry Pi 3 running plex connected to the TV. Using Wifi.
  • ** Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Stretch as a “NAS/File server” connected to the router via ethernet.

I want to be able to stream the files to [A] over the local network from **. Is this possible? I was able to do this using KODI on [A], and using an FTP connection to stream, but I wanted to try Plex.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Why did you use FTP? Samba would be much simpler :slight_smile: With your current setup you have many options, but I believe the best is:

[A] Plex client: Rasplex, Plex Media Player or Open/LibreELEC (KODI) with the official Plex Kodi plugin
** Raspbian with Samba server (for standard NAS features) + Plex server
