3 Handbrake for transcoding ideal format x.264/ACC, Xvid is what you will run into 80%, totally incompatible, I look for x.264 @ download to avoid transcoding. If you do need to transcode select Regular/Normal profile in handbrake, this will give you x264/acc "normal" quality which looks fine to me, you can cheat if the audio is in mp3 choose mp3 passthough this cuts 5 min off my 12/15 min a gig tc time. Add media to folder you choose in plex server setup
$. Router needs port 22400 forwarded to the comp with plex running google your router model for instucts on this
You should have a working media server now
6. Sucky hopper setup,
7. Settings/network setup/broadband/reset/save
Learn this, EVERY time to use/change/breath on home media you will need to do this
8. Menu - home media - plex server - drill, drill, drill, drill - eventually you'll find some media at the bottom, a square icon if if it's good a ? if format ist nicht, "play to end" playlist is useless, can't be saved as soon as you exit pooff, no ff/rr/resume pause next pretty much it.
9. If you really use this feature spend $50 on a roku it will ff/rr ect. runs off the same media server, the remote can be learned and you get netflix, hulu and yeah! FREE PORN!!
