Hello
I would like to know if somebody in the forum is using the Plex plugin to stream to a Fire Stick. The reason is, I am currently using a Chromecast as Plex client, and in order to work, Plex has to transcode almost everything. My library is basically .mkv in 720p - 1080p with AC3 audio, but Chromecast does not like AC3. Subtitles are also an issue since the Chromecast does not support subtitles. My OMV runs on a Atom 330 (nice, small, power efficient and silent. See the signature), and it certainly does not have the muscle to transcode. I was thinking about upgrading to a Fire Stick. The Fire Stick specification page says that it should support AC3 audio. That should imply no transcoding in the server side, but I would like to corroborate before buying it.
Perhaps my question is out of the reach of this forum (and I apologize for that, feel free to delete the thread if necessary), but I would like to know the experience of other forum members using such a device constellation (OMV with plex + Fire Stick).
Thanks for the help!
