Buongiorno, sono un neofita di plex e sto cercando di realizzare la configurazione ideale per la corretta fruizione dei miei contenuti. Al momento ho questa configurazione: Samsung 55H6670 connessa alla rete gigabit di casa con installata app Plex che preleva file dentro ad un vecchio NAS. Il server Plex è dentro il PC fisso con con AMD Phenom 8450 triple core e 6GB di RAM. Vorrei evitare di dover avere sempre il PC acceso e stavo pensando ad un NAS di maggiore potenza dove mettere Plex Server. La domanda che mi faccio è questa: con quella TV l’attività di transcodifica chi la fa? TV o solo Server Plex? Help me please! 😊 ---

the server (in your case NAS) is responsible for transcoding. you should be fine as long as you’re not doing simultaneous streaming on more than 2-3 devices I think. read more here: [https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200250347-Transcoder](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200250347-Transcoder) ---

I’m asking a different question: Does the Plex Server make a transcoding or going on direct play if I saw h264 or other files supported from TV? If going direct play the NAS power should be non to high, only for supportiPlex Server La mia domanda è diversa: il server Plaex fa una transcodifica o va in Direct Play se guardo file h264 o altri file supportati dalla TV? Che se va in direct play la potenza del NAS non deve essere eccessiva ma supportare solamente Plex Server e basta ---

on your server admin interface go to Settings - make sure Advanced is on and then click the tab Server \> Transcoder and you can adjust settings there (default is Automatic). I my plex app from Samsung TV i can also choose default quality but it’s automatic there also and my server gives original file quality over my LAN. I think you should look for the setting in your player and by that you can adjust the power levels your NAS needs. ---
