Plex media server still works on older hardware but it will automatically disable transcoding if the hardware is insufficient, and playback will suffer and stutter on really old or under-powered hardware. The more users you expect to be watching at once, the better hardware you want. In addition to always being on, you’ll want the server computer to have a decent amount of processing power to handle the aforementioned transcoding. Open the Mac OS X System Preferences > Accounts Choose the user account that hosts the Plex Media Server click the Padlock and authenticate if necessary Choose the Login Items tab Drag the mounted share into the list of Login Items Use a 3rd party application Using the Login Items method won’t automatically re-mount a missing mount. There’s no point in having a comprehensive streaming solution for all your personal media needs if, when you go to access it, the content is offline. But regardless of what platform you choose, it’ll have to be a computer that’s always turned on. You can install Plex on Windows, Linux, OS X, and even on dedicated server software like FreeNAS and on NAS hardware like the Synology system (you can see all their supported platforms for the Media Server app here). First and foremost, you need a computer that houses all the files and runs Plex Media Server.
