Surprised I didn't see any DLNA servers with transcoding capabilities. I'm well aware that MiniDLNA (not transcoding) is already available as a built-in (8.0.3) and I think it should remain that way, it just needs to be integrated into the GUI which I highly recommend vice making it a separate plug-in. If managing it would be easier as a plug-in them by all means make it a plug-in.

But MiniDLNA doesn't do transcoding and a few other servers out there do. I'm not favoring any of them as I don't know which is better or what issues each have but here the ones I know of... Serviio, MediaTomb, and Fuppies. I've never been a fan of Fuppies in the past but that was a long time ago.

These transcoding applications will of coarse take CPU power so it's not for everyone but for those who want a media serving machine, this is a key component.

For me, the essential plugin would be Logitech Media Server (previously known as Squeezebox Server), now in version 7.7.1. I know of people stuck with FreeNAS 7 because of LMS (or SBS). There is a PBI request here:
http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=14592&highlight=squeezebox
but the linked port is a very old version. It should use the 7.7 brach.

Transmission would also be helpful, but it has been mentioned before and a PBI does exist for PC-BSD.

I wouldn't say that Logitech Media Server is an essential for me, but it would certainly be a great asset: at present I have LMS running on a Windows machine that is networked to my FreeNAS box, but it would definitely be better to have LMS running on the FreeNAS box itself.

1) Memtest86+
Some FreeNas builds uses HW without ECC memory.
A bit error in memory will corrupt the raid volume, the raid can't detect corrupt input data.
It would be nice to have Memtest86+ integrated in FreeNas so we have the ability to detect bad memory as soon as posible.
Run options for Memtest86+ could be:
a) On next boot
b) On a given time
c) On a given time, repeating (once a week ...)

2) nzbget

2) UDF 2.50/2.60 read support

Other applications I have already manged to get installed (jailed) such as:
mysql, perl (for dropbox-api), nginx (as a reverse proxy for sabnzbd/couchpotato/sickbeard/headphones). Which I installed with pkg_add -r and modified some scripts and ensured they are kept in case of upgrades.

can you include a print server feature and software router feature similar to m0n0wall and zeroshell, rdp server, torrentbox/seedbox capability.

Thirded. The ability to run Logitech Media Server on FreeNAS 8x would be extremely helpful (not to mention fantastic).

Hello all

What about a plex media server plugin?

i know we have minidlna soon, but i bet there are many people who would use plex server.

They support linux already (ubuntu, debian etc)
