> Hi Guys, Sorry for being the noob but i just gotta know frowning. I read alot about Plex, the requirments, transcoding (which i dont fully get), network, support,… Im looking into creating my first Plex Setup in my new house and i just want to be sure if im not overkilling it and if everything will work smooth. A little bit of background : I will be running Plex Server from a Windows PC. Most of my content will be standard fotos, music files and movies. Movies will be generally 1080p. So…

Now due to my building of my house being a bit more expensive. i’m going to have to trim down on my setup a bit.

I also read about that the Nvidia shield can also work as a Plex server and client at the same time.

My new setup will be 2 Nvidia shields at both Tvs and a NAS somewhere in the house as my storage.

What will be the downsides of this keeping in mind my old thread ?

THank you guys for the love and help 🙂  
if you need more info, please ask

Thanx
