I bought my license for HexOS day 1, cause I knew I wanted to try it out and see how it would do with a home NAS for simplicity (namely to see if it would be worthwhile to use for family and friends that aren't as technical), but didn't get around to building my NAS until now for various reasons XD Still waiting on the case and drives to come in later, but I got everything else in today and did a test run and installed HexOS ^_^ Looking forward to finishing the build and finally having a NAS~ Please ignore the fact that I did my tests and OS install the way you see it in the photo XD As for the build itself, I'm gunna be rocking the following~ CPU: 14600k MoBo: MSI Pro B760M-A DDR4 II RAM: 32GB HDD: 12TB x3 (For my uses, expanding by 12s when I need to is more than enough XD) Case: Jonsbo N5 I figure this will be good for playing around with things and having a NAS+PLEX machine that won't give me any issues.

I've been using Plex for about 11 years now, going by the date of the receipt for my lifetime payment (that works out to about $7/year, at present, so I'm pretty happy with that deal), and I'd say... not really. On the one hand, it's working great for my use case, and I use it pretty much every single day. But, there are some small issues here and there that just never gets fixed. When I do searches for them I find years old reports that were ignored, so I don't even bother contacting them. Luckily, for my use case, the issues are mostly tiny cosmetic things. Like how the Android TV client won't show a file is HDR if it only contains DV, not HDR10 as well. The server identifies it correctly, the web client displays it, but not the Android client (to clarify, it plays DV content just fine, it just won't tell you it's a DV file).

If you are comfortable doing it from the TrueNAS side, it’s really not all that hard, even for a beginner. I have an NVIDIA card, and what I did was: 1. Open the TrueNAS webpage. 2. On the left side of the page, click "Apps". 3. Find your Plex application and select (click) it. 4. Find and click the "Edit" button next to "Application Info" on the right. 5. Scroll down to the very bottom of the screen. There you should find "GPU Configuration". 6. If you see your specific card, check the box next to it, then click "Update”. If you do not see your specific NVIDIA card, you may have to enable the NVIDIA drivers. This can be done by: 1. Going to the Apps section. 2. Click "Configuration" then "Settings”. 3. Make sure the "Install NVIDIA Drivers" box is checked if it’s not. Then after enabling the NVIDIA drivers, you should be able to continue to step 4.
