@mattlach I've seen a lot of people talk about Nas but I have no idea what it is or how it works or how to set it up. But I see it all the time in the Plex forums. Would you mind explaining it beyond "network attached storage" I mean I guess that's what I'm trying to do is setup media storage servers and network them. Btw it transcodes because there's no direct connection to the Plex server. If I could get a direct connection I could use h256 and I'm running tomato over the Netgear because ddwrt doesn't support open VPN for this model of router but tomato does. Which finally got tomato and ddwrt somewhat recently many years after I bought the stupid thing.
