plex

I'm also asking in the Plex forums, but asking here in case there's anything I can learn. The 2015 CustoMac in my build signature on OS 11.7.6 has been locking up a lot recently. The problem is it's when I'm using Plex Server on the CustoMac to watch programming from the other side of the world...

So in a nutshell... I want to watch content on my LG TV (indoors), via Plex, which is stored on my Hackintosh (in a garden office). I have a Virgin Hub (indoors). My Hackintosh is wired to a TP Link router (in garden office). The remote TP Link router is directly wired into the Virgin Hub. The...

Hi, I'm new here and hoping to find some information about a Plex Server Hackintosh. I currently have a Early 2009 Mac Pro with a X5680 3.33GHz 6-core processor, 32 ECC RAM and 256 Samsung Pro SSD. Since this old machine uses a lot of energy, I am considering to build a hackintosh which is as...

Sorry if this is longwinded or more detail than necessary! I'm a total n00b when it comes to networking :( I finally got my 10.11.6 machine to run with a static private IP so my Verizon FIOS router would keep it available with port forwarding rules, but it seems whenever the machine gets...

Hey guys, its been a few years since ive posted. Im building a new plexbox and was wondering if any of you guys have used a Gigabyte H110N with success? Build Sheet: Gigabyte H110N Intel i3 6100 Ballistix Sport LT 8gb (2x4) Rosewill Quark Series Fully Modular 550W Samsung Evo 850 250gb (OS...

Hello, below is my current build... how much power do I need to run this stuff? I don't want too little, but I also don't want too much overkill as well... cpu: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151...

My old Mac 3,1 tower is finally too old for any more Plex server updates, so it's time for a Hackintosh build. I'd of course like as much of a discreet build if possible, but it may not be in the cards for me as I would love to house 6-8 hard drives. Since I plan to use is strictly as a Plex...

I am building this to replace a legit Mac Mini 2012 with 2 external HDDs running as a (99% of the time headless) Plex server. I'd like to spend money where it matters and not on things like the video card. It's been about a decade since I last built ANY computer, so I would appreciate any...

Ok, so I already have a Photo/Video editing (Z97) hackintosh that runs great. I now want to build a simple HTPC to replace my aging Macbook Pro 2011 which runs Plex and is connected to the TV and 2 external hard drives. I want it to be a skylake build but I don't have any experience with that so...

I am a complete noob at this (have no experience building a computer) so I want to keep my first build as basic as possible. I'm thinking of building something along the lines of a CustoMac Mini but in a nice looking HTPC case. It will mostly be used for watching Plex (server) and Kodi but...

A recent discovery led me to purchase an Apple TV last weekend and that reason is PlexConnect. If you run Plex and own an Apple TV, PlexConnect will make you love our Apple TV even more. To make a long story short, my H67N-USB3-B3 was running OS X Mountain Lion next to my HDTV as a NAS/File...

Hi, I'm about to start building my first hackintosh and would really appreciate help in confirming the hackability of my list, and any other input the tonymac community could offer. I think I've settled on a list of components for the machine, which will replace a Late 2009 Mac mini. I'd like...

Hi, I've been reading this site for months now planning my first build and wanted to get some expert advice now that I've narrowed things down; I'd appreciate any advice or thoughts on the below specs as I'm sure I've overlooked a number of things and would really benefit from a veteran's eye...

Hey all I have just finished setting up my first hackintosh build and I've ran into a problem. I am running a system with an i7 3770k CPU GA-Z77N mobo and 8GB of ram. The plan was to use it mainly as a media server running plex. So I set plex up and attempted to stream a movie to my ipad...

Hey guys, After hearing about the option of building a Hackintosh from a friend of mine for a good several months I decided to look into it as the alternative (a mac mini) didn't sound like it had enough horsepower. I run Plex throughout our house usually 1-3 devices are streaming at a time...

I am on the latest BIOS (F11) and have everything setup with Tony's tools (Unibeast ML/Latest Multi) I have just copied 2TB of media onto a new drive and everything went fine, now the disk is ejecting randomly and I have all my data on it! It will then not show in Disk utility and I have to...
