Plex looks like my ideal solution as I have a lot of home automation and my movie collection is the last thing to get "automated". I've started ripping my Bluray collection and will be playing this through TV's and HD Projector.
I've ready lots of pages on setups but nothing seems definitive regarding setup (horses for courses naturally). I was considering upgrading my NAS to run Plexserver on it but reading between the lines it looks like getting a decent nas and then using a HTPC would be a better option and perhaps more future proof (due to NAS generally not having a lot of grunt in the processor).
I'll be mostly using this in the house and my main goal is the best possible quality in the home system (might do some outside streaming but very little).
I was thinking something like a Synology DS416PLAY and a NUC with an i5 or i7 in it might be a good setup. anyone with similar care to comment if this seems a sensible thought ?.
