Simply install Plex Media Server from the QNAP App Center and your NAS is ready to go. Plex Media Server allows you to maintain local collections of movies, videos, photos, and music on your NAS, and streams them from Plex to various devices such as phones, tablets, and TVs via media streaming devices (including DLNA®, Roku®, Amazon Fire TV® and Google Chromecast™).

QNAP NAS is built for running 24/7 and uses significantly less power than most desktop PCs. With a QNAP NAS you can enjoy a stable network environment for Plex to provide continuous multimedia streaming and access to media anytime and anywhere.

Transcoding is crucial for enjoying smooth media playback. It works by converting media files to suitable resolutions and bitrates based on your device’s capabilities and Internet connection. Plex automatically transcodes your media to ensure smooth playback on different media players and devices.

Hardware-accelerated transcoding utilizes dedicated hardware capabilities of a supported CPU or GPU to perform transcoding/conversion. NAS that support graphics cards can greatly benefit from hardware-accelerated transcoding. A Plex Pass account is required for hardware-accelerated streaming.
