HI
I stream over my home network MKV and MP4 moves and TV shows in Plex both in H264/265 to my Apple TV 4k and onto my year old Sony 4K OLED. No issues with file compatibility. I do not play Plex anywhere else. I only use my NAS for Plex and Photo storage
Do I actually need to be concerned about transcoding ? As I dont think I am transcoding at all at the moment.
I ask because when I update my Terramaster 423 at some stage do I need to only consider NAS systems with built in graphics or can I look at NAS boxes with decent CPU. like the new Synology Ryzen CPUs ?
It opens the choices much wider if I dont have to buy ones with the GPU built in
