Question:

&nbsp;

RasPlex will obviously look at a specific location for shows, however, how will it work for more than one RasPlex box? &nbsp;For instance....One RasPlex in the Family Room, and another in the Bedroom. &nbsp;How does RasPlex or Plex handle this situation, as it not only reads what is in the directory, but adds media info to the directory...

&nbsp;

thanks

RasPlex looks to the Plex Media Server (PMS) to grab its media, and it is the Server (ie. a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;component) that manages the media. &nbsp;You can have many many RasPlex devices hanging off of a single server (the limit will the the speed of your server and the speed of your network)

personally I like to have different devices for each room,&nbsp;example: roku for the living room (a lot of content), GTV for my older son room (he's a fandroid), and last but not less RPI for me&nbsp; :rolleyes:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
