Sonic Analysis on TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD)

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering : for what reason is the Sonic Analysis functionality not available for people hosting their Plex servers on FreeBSD ? Seems like a pretty baseless restrictions…

Regards

So, no reason at all, I guess ?

I believe it’s due to the third-party libraries we need not supporting FreeBSD, I believe in this specific case it’s tensorflow-lite (don’t quote me).

It’s sometimes possible to get these libraries built but it takes enormous amounts of effort to get there and then trying to maintain a working build when updates are pulled in becomes very time consuming.

Thanks for your answer :slight_smile:

Well, if it’s about TensorFlow, it’s in the FreeBSD Ports : FreshPorts -- science/py-tensorflow: Computation using data flow graphs for scalable machine learning
(my understanding is tensorflow-lite is just a subset of tensorflow, targeted for embedded devices, so the full tensorflow should cover that :wink: )

I’m curious, do you have statistics on the “market share” of FreeBSD among Plex servers installs ?
