It can even run directly on network-attached storage devices. You’ll want to make sure your WiFi is fast enough to support the devices. Plex Media Server can run on a wide variety of devices including macOS, Windows, and Linux. HEVC streams can often exceed 100 Mbit/s, so the server will need to be connected to a gigabit (1000 Mbit/s) connection through all switches and the routerĪre the Roku’s connected via Ethernet or wireless? Both Roku’s only support fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s), so it’s best for the Roku’s to connect wirelessly. That’s great! Do you know if the Mac Mini is connected via fast or gigabit Ethernet? You can check in System Preferences, network. Both of your clients should direct play HEVC - there should be no reason to buffer other than a bandwidth limitation. Your situation is ideal - all clients are on the same network as the server is and all clients support h265, so there’s no need to transcode. Plex is like mission control for your content. I’m gonna rearrange your post to make my reply more coherent A common misunderstanding! Transcoding is only needed when a client can’t play the source file natively, either because the client doesn’t support the codec and needs to convert the file to a format it supports, or because there is insufficient bandwidth and the file has to be processed to a smaller size in order to make it to the other end (usually a problem for remote clients in our circumstances).
