![]() Your idea of a separate media server - I guess I could install Plex on the Firestick and point it at the M圜loud without using Kodi? Looks like I need a more expensive RAID system. I don’t really want to do modifications or fudge it to get it to run apps. I wish WD had made these limitations clearer, their online blurb implies the unit runs apps. Down side is one would have another device running rather than having the Plex media server hosted on the My Cloud. With the My Cloud one can configure the Plex media server to use the My Cloud as its media library. Its what I did for a while before using the My Cloud. See the following past discussions on installing Plex to first gen and second gen single bay/single drive My Cloud devices:Īnother option is to have a secondary device/computer running a Plex media server. As such that limitation isn’t much of an issue. If all your media is in a streaming client supported format the Plex media server does not have to perform transcoding. The low end My Cloud units can handle Plex in general, where they struggle is with the “transcoding” aspect. I did a bit of research on here and it seems the M圜loud processor can’t handle Plex. It is also advisable to read through the following discussion to get the most out of the Twonky media server embedded within the My Cloud. You may also want to see the other recent thread discussing Samsung TV"s and the My Cloud as it may be relevant. One should check to see if there TV or device supports a different DLNA media client that can be installed to the device. Generally the My Cloud relies on the device client (in your case your Samsung TV) to display the content on the TV. Or one can setup Kodi on a Kodi supported media device that is connected to their TV. The multi bay My Cloud units that support third party apps generally have Plex add on module support. You can use the forum search feature, magnifying glass icon upper right, to find past discussions on how to try and add Plex to either the first gen or second gen single bay My Cloud units. ![]() It is NOT like Plex media server/client or the Kodi client. The My Cloud’s embedded media server (Twonky) is a basic media sever. ![]()
