You will be surprised to find out that installation is the easiest piece of the Plex puzzle-even on a non-Ubuntu distribution. I will be installing on the latest release of openSUSE, but the server can be installed on Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, and more. With all of that in mind, let’s begin the process of setting up the Plex server. Do note: Some of the Plex features require a premium membership fee. With Plex, you can also sign into your account and stream outside of your local network (and enjoy other features). Why Plex? Because it is one of the most feature-rich media servers available that also happens to be cross-platform, has a built-in media player (and transcoder), and also offers apps for both Android and iOS. I want to demonstrate the process of setting up a streaming server using Plex. Naturally, each media streaming server offers different features and there are plenty of available servers (from bare bones to full-featured solutions). With this type of server you can enjoy your media from a desktop, laptop, smart phone, or tablet. So what do you do when you want to take advantage of that massive media collection from multiple locations and your target devices either don’t have space for it or you don’t want to take the time to transfer it? Or, collections have become so large, transferring them from drive to drive has become cumbersome at best.
More and more, users aren’t content with sitting in front of a television or desktop to enjoy their media. It helps inform, enlighten, inspire, and entertain. SSH is the recommended secure encrypted alternative that only takes a little longer to setup.Media is king-it has been for a very long time.
While telnet is insecure for a home network it is a possibility. Windows should shutdown gracefully or go into standby, depending on configuration.Īs Peterh mentioned, you can also use telnet a command-line interface built-in to windows.
This allows you to shut down or restart a local or remote computer.įor a low-tech solution, try holding the power button down quickly for a second or less (not the 5 seconds for a hard power off). Inside of an ssh session or even directly from another Windows machine, you can use the shutdown command-line. You can then run an ssh client (like PuTTY) which would allow the automation of file transfers and access to the command line with high security. VNC though a SSH tunnel is recommended for usage across the Internet.Īlternatively if you enjoy the command line, try running an SSH server on your media server. VNC ( TightVNC or many other flavors) is a freeware graphical remote control solution like Remote Desktop you wanted to use.
