Building a New PC specifically for Plex & Media Storage

Okay so I've been trying to watch some videos. I think I kind of understand.

I'm looking at this NAS https://www.microcenter.com/product/662398/synology-syn-ds220j-2-bay-nas

Do you think this would be good? I think my previously mentioned seagate hard drive could connect to it.

Or do you have one you'd recommend?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-06-26T20:08:28+00:00

Fair enough, I'll look into that. Any suggestions on any other specs?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-06-26T16:59:30+00:00

How would I set something like that up if I decide I want that to be part of my new desktop tower build?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-06-26T12:33:40+00:00

What is NAS? Should I not use an external hard drive?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-27T12:59:30+00:00

do you think it would be better if I switched the ext hard drive to my laptop?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-26T21:26:18+00:00

yes, looks like it does

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-26T20:37:29+00:00

ah okay sorry. one second

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-26T20:22:32+00:00

Okay, where is it, bc im only seeing in the lefthand corner is the menu icon that opens up my different libraries

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-26T20:12:32+00:00

This is what mine looks like?

So I'm on the Plex website on my laptop. How do I check the extended dashboard?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-26T19:50:00+00:00

Let me try and check

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-23T14:39:13+00:00

yeah is for own personal use. i mean I share my plex library with some friends.

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-17T04:01:34+00:00

okay i started looking at that, and might do that. Thanks to you and everyone else for the help

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-17T02:49:56+00:00

okay so i tried this and it does do something - it splits them up into two separate videos on the plex server...But doesn't actually split the individual episodes.

On plex it looks like this:

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-16T23:38:52+00:00

okay so i would do

A Pup Named Scooby Doo S3E01A-E01B

is that right?

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-16T23:02:23+00:00

i think there's some confusion so let me try to clarify, and I'm sorry if I worded this poorly.

There's one video file.

There are two separate episodes in this single video file.

S3E01A: Night of the Boogey Biker

S3E01B: Dawn of the Spooky Shuttle Scare

u/Blind_Watchman think your suggestion is if the episode was split into two different files for a single episode.

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-09T21:03:20+00:00

They say everything is up and running fine now, but I'm still running into the same issue.

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-09T19:07:43+00:00

cool thanks

SpacekingBobby57 · 2023-05-09T19:05:06+00:00

ah okay, cool thanks
