![]() Since I had the laptop, it was a good idea to retire the Raspberry-Pi for now. Before using my laptop, I had Pi-hole on a Raspberry-Pi connected to my router. See the logs given by the startup script in real time: docker logs -f plex. Pi-hole container on docker hub has pretty much all configuration covered. Shell access to the container while it is running: docker exec -it plex /bin/bash. Check out our full guide to port forwarding for more information, if you need it. Pi-hole is a network-wide ad blocking app that also provides great insight into the domains that are being visited by each device on your network. Again, via our DD-WRT router, here’s a general example of what that looks like: we’ve forwarded everything on external port 32400 to the internal IP address of the Plex server, also on port 32400 to keep things simple. ![]() ![]() I cannot access to the server setting of Plex (altho on tv I can. In this part, I am going to explain how to install and configure the following packages, including Plex, on your Home Media Server: Plex uses port 32400 so it should only be open on your server. My main goal for running a Home Media Server was to simplify the process of playing videos stored on my hard drive on the TV with my XBOX and I used Plex for that. SHIELD TV Pro comes with both PLEX client and PLEX Media Server pre-installed. In fact, if I look in the app center it shows Plex Media Server 1.16.6 - but on the >plex site, the most recent update avail shows version 1.-77cb9455c for qnap. Follow this link to learn more about PLEX and PLEX Media Server. There hasn't been any Plex update in quite some time. With PLEX on SHIELD TV Pro, users can host and access their own media (movies, music, photos), from virtually anywhere an internet connection is available. In the first part, I explained why it is a good idea to turn your old PC into a Home Media Server, and introduced Docker containers for a few apps. PLEX is the most popular media server available. This is the second part of my tutorial on running a Media Home Server using your old PC or laptop. ![]()
