Hello,
I'm a pretty recent user of OMV and so far I can say I'm still on the honeymoon.
I'm running it on an low-power, headless JNF95A-270-LF Intel Atom PC (1st Generation Intel® Atom N270 @ 2.5W (512K Cache, 1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) with 2GB RAM and GB ethernet) and in terms of NFS and CIF/SMB sharing it's working great: Much faster than my other NAS (WD-MyCloud).
Anyway, I installed the OMV-extras PLEX plugin but unfortunately my system isn't powerfull enough to perform the transcoding (the graphic card is Intel GMA950 Integrated Graphics).
However, I found some mini-pci-express video decoder boards for sale in ebay like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BCM700…2068a7:g:FLMAAOSwBahVFR~Q).
Does anyone knows if this kind of boards can be used/compatible by/with OS/PLEX in order to improve the transcoding?
If not, would a "normal PCI" graphics board (evethough my system is headless), help the transcoding? If so, would it work "automagically", or would it require any special configuration?
Thanks,
Joaoabs
