Final Details To avoid any permissions issue, it’s best to make Plex run under the Pi user. Just type the following command and hit Enter: sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver-installer After the Plex Server software finishes installing, there are just a few more details to take care of. Otherwise an RPi will do decently if you don't have any real needs for transcoding aside from container remuxing (that is to say most, if not all, of your content is already in h/x.264 or a format otherwise supported by the Roku). Now, you’re ready to install Plex Media Server. You don't even have to have it plugged into a TV to make use of it as a standalone server it seems to work great. As far as Plex servers go it's one of the fastest and most flexible ones out there (aside from running it on a full fat Windows PC). I guess, if it was a goal, that multi-core scalability never really got to a place where it was practical and Super-SFF PCs became a valid market segment.īack on topic, I'd probably ++ a Shield TV. I cannot find any information about that now but I recall that being a relatively exciting new development in computer performance trajectory. I had thought I had read back when they were first introducing the concept that NUC was intended to be a modular system where you could join multiple NUCs together to get more computing power out of a still small piece of hardware.

I'm a fan but I've got a few places where literally the smallest full-power computer that would fit was a significant packaging advantage.

NUC technically has a meaning, but yar, it's a marketing term = "Next Unit of Computing."
