This book explains how to set up a Raspberry Pi for use as a Plex Server. One reliable and inexpensive solution to this issue is to run your Plex Media Server from a Raspberry Pi computer, the tiny little computer that’ll set you back less than $55 for everything you need. On the other hand, one of the disadvantages of Plex is that it works best when loaded onto a dedicated computer that is on and available non-stop, all the time, 24/7. It serves up music, videos, photos, podcasts, and even more importantly, it’s reliable, it looks great, has a bunch of built-in features that makes browsing your huge collection a load of fun. Yes, you can store them on your computer and watch them when you get the chance, but what if you want to watch them from your iPhone or tablet? What if you want to watch them when you aren’t home, or even in the same city? What if you just want to hear podcasts or watch web shows? The Plex Media Server can solve all those problems for you. Music, Photos, Movies, even entire series of TV shows. You will possibly need to add it to as a permanent mount point (this also means it will always be in the same location).If you’re anything like me, you’ve collected a zillion media files over the years. I believe the desktop will only mount when the user is logged on - something you generally don’t do on a server. As says, there are guides to adding NTFS support, if your drive is formatted that way. I’m not sure what level of support PiOS has. Writing access was considered “experimental” with Kernel drivers. NTFS has been read-only for over a decade, but writing files is more complicated and needed an external driver up until recently. The best way would be to use FAT32, which, if the video files are large, but under 4GB, is probably the most flexible way of doing things, if you are going to use the drive with other systems, otherwise format it native Linux. How are you mounting it? Have you added it to the list of mounted drives or are you relying on the desktop mounting system? The latter will only work with a logged on user, AFAIK.
