![]() ![]() So I connected one of my spare portable USB drive to the Pi, installed a Pi version of Plex following the instructions on the dev2day site, and it worked! Sure, the primary limitation of the Pi compared to a PC, and why I won’t move my main Plex server’s content to the Pi, is its very limited CPU, to the point where all form of transcoding should be avoided. Or what if I could just run a Plex server on the Pi just to record TV shows? Sure, this is a seemingly important missing feature of the Plex DVR, but I guess I could write some scheduled script on the Pi to wake up the Plex server just before recording happens. As I already have an Antenna and a TV tuner (the HDHomeRun Extend), in addition to the “ Plex Pass”, I wanted to use my Plex server to record Over The Air (OTA) TV shows, when I ran into the problem that my server was in standby most of the time and would miss its recording schedule. It just so happens that one of the devices was my Plex media server. This allowed my to place my other devices into either standby mode or shut down, and power them on using the Pi only when needed. As I mentioned in a previous post, I started using my Raspberry Pi as my “always on” home server. ![]()
