I also asked this in the HTPC thread, but maybe this would be a more appropriate place. What's the least expensive hardware I could buy to run a Plex server? I'll mostly be streaming to an Amazon FireTV, if that makes a difference.

I'm trying to configure my setup so that I can access my videos over the internet. My setup is WAN --> Cable Modem (192.168.0.1) --> TP-Link Router (192.168.1.1) --> Plex Server (192.168.1.105). UPNP isn't cutting it. I've tried manually port forwarding 32400 to the appropriate IPs... but I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong. Any tips?

Edit 2: Setting my modem to bridge mode and my router to uPNP still doesn't fix the problem. Hmmm. Sneeze Party fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Dec 6, 2015 |

A while back I set up my Synology NAS as a Plex server, but gave up getting it to work with remote clients because my NAS is connected to the internet via a VPN and Plex doesn't seem to like that. Is there a way to get Plex working on my NAS, through a VPN, to remote clients? Am I missing something simple? This was a couple of years ago since I last tried it. Edit: Or possibly force Plex to ignore the VPN and use the naked internet connection? Edit2: I use NordVPN, which apparently doesn't support port forwarding?

Currently, I use a Shield TV to stream/transcode Plex to a couple of people. 99% of my media is 1080p, but in the future I expect my 4k content to increase. Therefore, I'm looking for a new solution for streaming and transcoding. What I'd like to do is have some kind of NUC/Mini PC that has relatively low power draw. Currently I have like 2 1080p streams or transcodes going at a time. I expect this number to double or maybe triple in the next year as I share my library with a few more people. I'd probably be using Ubuntu. But I could use Windows 10. Is there a solution for this that is low power and costs around $300? I've tried doing the research about this, but I'm way more behind on processor tech than I thought I was, and the processors that these little machines use have a lot of variability between them. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as 4k goes, it looks like it's possible to pre-transcode them and just have smaller versions of 4k content for people who don't want to stream the 4k media directly. And that seems like a fine idea, if it works.Khablam posted:Mini PCs will chew through 1080p with aplomb. Something like this for under $200 will handle almost 2 dozen streams using QuickSync.
