While not relevant to you, just to close out the thread on Plex, for anyone else who is reading with any interesting - Plex the client has a fairly big overhead, but Plex Media Server (Mac, PC or Linux) is extremely lightweight in comparison. The Media Server catalogs, tags, and serves your files (transcoding if need be). The client receives streams of your files and/or from the channels such as Netflix. If you don't need DLNA compatibility, I highly recommend it, as they seem fairly interested in making a client for every single platform out there. And it's media tagger is that good. When I used any other solution, I had to resort to third party taggers, which rarely work on Macs. > > On top of that, I do connect to other DLNA servers on occasion, so what I use > on iOS needs to talk to those as well.
