The other software pretty much either requires a front end installed on another computer or DLNA support. Other than Plex you will be using the PS3's built in DLNA player. Thank you again to everyone for all the detailed information I've read so far! What is the preferred setup to protect my data? I should probably dig through this forum more as I'm sure there is a topic on this before asking for the answer :) As I plan on this, what media server software is recommended for this?Ĥ) Kind outside of FreeNAS, but for those running various software media servers (Plex, Kodi, JRiver, etc), do you see the nicely designed GUI designed by their software when accessing it through the PS3?ĥ) Finally, I want to protect my data from the outside, so security is very important to me.

on the NAS, would it be preferable to install Plex outside of the HDDs that are in the ZFS structure, on a SSD for example, so as not to take up space on a "storage" HDD? Another way to phrase this, is should I plan on installing any app, program, plugin on a separate drive from the storage HDDs that will be holding my media, and then the media server software would access the appropriate drive to transcode/stream the content?ģ) This is specific to the PlayStation 3, so I'm curious if anyone on here uses their PS3 as their smart menu/client to access their NAS media server to view movies. If it is ideal, then I take it FreeNAS would be installed on this PC/HTPC and the NAS would be hooked up to it almost acting as an external storage device?Ģ) If I build per your requirements and install Plex, etc. Is this the ideal setup? I'm guessing the answer is "no" as all I've read on here is that you install Plex, etc. when streaming it to the client (PS3, etc) to watch.

I have a few questions about the proper design for this setup.ġ) I heard that if I have a NAS it should be for storing my media (movies, etc) and then have a separate PC system (home theater PC - HTPC) to run Plex or another media server (PS3 Media Server, JRiver, Kodi, etc) to handle all the transcoding, etc. With that said, before I even get to hardware configurations, etc. to a NAS that I can stream to my Playstation 3 (primary), MacBook Pro, iMac, etc.Īfter watching a number of youtube videos and reading through this website/forum, I've decided to make the plunge with FreeNAS. NOTE: If someone knows a more trimmed down depends list please post here.Over the last week, I've decided I get with it and set up a NAS for my home and ultimately backup my DVDs, etc. I have found that the dependencies needed to build miniDLNA successfully are: sudo apt install autoconf g++ subversion linux-source linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential tofrodos git-core subversion dos2unix make gcc automake cmake checkinstall git-core dpkg-dev fakeroot pbuilder dh-make debhelper devscripts patchutils quilt git-buildpackage pristine-tar git yasm checkinstall cvs mercurial autopoint debhelper dh-autoreconf gcc libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libjpeg-dev libsqlite3-dev libexif-dev libid3tag0-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libflac-dev hex just copy and paste the their content into the appropriate places of the icons.c file located in the root directory of miniDLNA source folder.


Make it executable chmod +x convert.sh and run it. Instead of doing all files individually use a bit of bash, convert.sh.

There is a great piece of code on sourceforge that does all the hard work and formatting for you.Ĭreate a empty file conversion.c and this content: /* convert icon data for icons.c" */ There isn't a convenient way to change the logo but it is possible if you compile the server from source.Ĭreate a directory to store your logo and in order to complete what you are asking you need your logo saved in two different sizes and two different formats:Īnd you need them saved in both PNG and jpg.
