Okey i was really really not sure which forum to post this, so i ended here as i want my results at the final end to be on my Raspberry Pi in the masterbedroom :)
This is what i want, i want plex on my rasberry pi so that i can try to transcode some files that i havent been able to play on it.
The videos music and pictures i have is stored on my DS413j Synology NAS. I've tried setting up the plex server on my nas but i just get a ton of errors and i am frankly tired of it.
I have used plex before with windows, and that turend out successful.
But i also have a dedicated home server running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. The thing i was wondering is this, is it possible to run my plex server on my W7 server, grabbing the files from my nas, sending them trough plex on W7, delivering them to my Raspberry pi with raspbmc?
I have a gigabit network and i belive the nas supports it and i know my server do. the raspb is 100mbit if i dont remember all wrong. If this setup works at all, would it be laggy considering the way it has to go to get to the pi?

If you want to use Raspbmc, there isn't a problem with pointing this to your NAS for your media, you don't need Plex, suggest you go to the Raspbmc forums.
If however you want to use Rasplex (this is after all the Rasplex forum), then setting up Plex Media Server on your Windows server shouldn't be a problem, make sure you have your NAS drives mapped in Windows and when you set up the Libraries in Plex point them at those mapped drives. You can then install Rasplex on you Pi and away you go.

Thank you sir :)
Yes i have my NAS files directly to the pi, problem is that some of my files wont play directly on pi, but i know they will play with the transcoding from plex. Thats why i need plex on those files :)
That sounds like a "normal" setup for plex :)
