Hi! I know there's been quite a bit of discussion of the Plex Media Player.
I myself am considering a use for the Plex Media Server and it looks as though it may be all systems go with what I have in mind. I have a Fetch TV Set Top Box which has served me well up until now. The idea is that the box records my favourite Free To Air TV channels and then I either play those directly from the box to my television or stream from the box to another device say my mobile phone or whatever. The Fetch TV box is getting a little long in the tooth now so I'm having to think about a replacement box or system that will achieve the same sorts of things as the Fetch TV box did. Up until I rexamined the Plex Server again there didn't seem to be much around so I thought I'd be with the Fetch TV box till its dying day which doesn't seem too far away anyhow but I'm not complaining given the box has run 24/7 for 3 years. So Plex will allow scheduling of Free-To-Air programmes with a variety of devices including those from a company I've not heard of before called Silicondust. Their set top boxes are network dependent so you, you connect the Silicondust to your network, connect to an aerial, turn on the power and away you go, the web interface is supposed to be accessible and that's where you set the device up. The box depends on NAS Storage being available on your network so you'll need something like a WD MyCloud or similar for storage of the recorded programmes, you could use a spare Intel Nuc or something similar if you have one. So that's one of the few upcoming projects I'll be exploring. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
