I just got my Raspberry PI 2 a few days ago and im running OpenMediaVault (Nas server software) and it runs smooth!

But what i really miss is Plex Media Server on it!

I dont need it to be the main server, but heres my setup.

&nbsp;

I have an Asustor AS-604T server and it streams to who i let it stream to, but if my internet is down or theirs it wont work or if lets say they have multiple clients but cant get more then 20 Mbits on doownload speed so i wanna setup a raspberry pi with a 2 TB external drive with the most popular movies on it and then they can use it. Its limitation of 100 Mbit makes it useful for up to 5 clients at once so i dont see the issue.. also there wont be any need of transcoding..

&nbsp;

It would be nice if it could get in touch with the main server using Plex and then they can choose sync to it.. Hope others sees benefits in this setup..

Remember.. its low power, no fan and its damn small! :-D

> I appreciate works on Plex Media Player but it is only one side of the coin. Many people using those small computers not as smart tv boxes but as media servers. At this moment to use my banana pi as plex server i have to download one of the NAS versions and use some voodoo tutorial found on internet to make it work without annoying information about transcoding. My suggestion for features are: packages that can be used on those devices (preferred Debian .deb packages, as most of distribution …
