So I want to build a designated PMS, but I don’t want to go full rack-mounted virtualized servers. I don’t need all that, its just for me and my friends, never more than 4 streams and maybe three transcodes at a time. I’ve come up with something I think will be pretty cool, but before I invest actual money I thought I’d post it here and see what people think.
The section on the right is actually to be mounted above the one on the left. See black circles that represent the posts.
The NUC will will be the actual PMS, including the tuner for Live TV/DVR. NUC Specs
I already have the Raspberry Pi. It runs all my “Media Acquisition” through a VPN and also hosts PlexPY and a few other things.
I’m still torn on the USB HDD storage.
Option 1: Present each physical HDD to the operating system: USB HDD Enclosure
Option 2: USB RAID Controller: RAID Controller
Let me know what you think. I’m looking for real comments. If you think it will suck, tell me why. If you think its cool too, let me know.
Thanks.
