I would like to run a vm with a dual monitor setup. I know the 1688x only has one hdmi output, so alone I don’t think it can work. But if I install a graphics card can I connect two monitors through a VM using gpu passthrough? We have not tried this. But it might […]

TS-473A compatible GPU card for transcoding I’m sorry to ask many questions, so that a little clearer, the video card does not ask for power, only the one that manages the same PCI-E input of the same NAS? Another issue the physical space where the PCI-E inputs are is reduced since it has the power […]
New TS-673A and TS-873A support PCIe GPU for video transcoding. These are good news for PLEX users. No need to rely on internal GPU unit or CPU software transcoding capabilities.

I have narrowed my search down to the TVS-672xt (or n version). However I have just seen that there is a new TS-673a using the Ryzen cpu about to be released. The 672xt was a bit above my pain threshold, but I had convinced myself that it would be worth it. Given that this 673a […]
Synology DS220+ or Ds218 good for my requirements? Message Body: Hello, thank you for your videos. I am looking at several NAS around my price point (less than AU$600 for the NAS + whatever it costs to get about 6-8TB storage) for the purpose of a Plex media set up, such that the files can […]
Thinking this may be a good video for you to consider as like many of your viewers I have several movies and TV shows in several formates (disk, and on hard drives) and PLEX only sees certain ones as does synology video station and others NAS providers. My biggest frustration at the moment is how […]

Can I stream 4K remotely without transcoding? There are few things to check before you try to stream 4K remotely. Internet upload speed at the Plex server location Internet download speed at the location of streaming File bitrate of you video/movie TV/mobile ability to play 4K resolution and file format You can convert video […]
All right – what I think I learned is that in the NAS/Plex hierarchy world – the king of the mountain is the Xeon processor because it can do 4K software transcoding without the need for a PCI GPU. This Xeon vs. “some other” chip would be because I want to do 4K transcoding without […]
QNAP TVS-672XT External GPU- Hi, I purchased a QNAP TVS-672XT after having less than desired performance from other NAS’s i have tried. To deck it out i purchased an I7 8700t cpu 32 GB ram. I don’t have any of the equipment yet, should arrive today. I been trying to find a video card to […]
