Hi guys
Total newbie here, so fair warning if what I ask is completely stupid, but here goes:
Can I make Plex Media Server work directly from a NAS using FreeNas?
My current setup:
*Media stored on NAS hard drive
*Plex Media Server running on an iMac
*Uses Plex app to watch movies on iPad - requires iMac to be online for this
My goal: To be able to watch movies from my iPad directly from the NAS without having to have the iMac on.
I was thinking that it might be possible to install/boot Plex Media Server from a USB connected to the NAS (or alternatively installed on a small partition of the NAS hard drive itself) using FreeNAS, but I’m getting lost in all the technical stuff regarding FreeNAS installation, and how it is used/what is even possible.
The NAS i have is a D-Link DNS-320 with a 500GB Seagate drive in - nothing fancy, but the guy I bought it from said he used it with Kodi - unfortunately I didn’t ask him how.
I'm pretty lost - hopefully some of you can point me in the right direction.
Cheers :)
