This truly helps me setup my apple tv. Now i can access my own download file instead of having to rely on purely streaming channels. P/s: Apple TV shouldve got a USB port sigh.
I just upgraded from an older Fire TV to an Apple TV 4K and it’s so much better with Plex. On the fire tv it would crash or bug out all the time. Everything works smoothly and seamlessly on the Apple TV.
@@ChurchTechTalks I was saying that because you mentioned that if handbrake doesn’t work you’re better off using make MKV and then transcode it and handbrake after you make the MKV
@@CaptRadar101 got it. So Make MKV for importing the DVD/Blu-ray and once you have it digital, transcode it to the preferred format. That totally works. I personally haven’t had a DVD that Handbrake won’t encode, but you definitely need LibDVDCSS to do the protected ones. Thanks for the tip on Make MKV!
hi, im thinking of setting this up for my dad on a raspberry pi, will he still be able to use the apple tv app to access it if they are both on the same network? or does the plex media server need to be running on a mac?
I’m kinda confused about plex. So for 4k content would it be the NAS that will be doing the “grunt work” so I’ll need a half decent cpu/gourmet etc or would it be sending it directly to the Apple TV which will do the grunt work? I want to build a low powered storage solution but want to playback 4k hdr content. So would I need a beefier NAS or is a low powered raspberry pi sufficient as it’ll just be sending the data to the appletv to decode? Hope that makes sense.
Sort of. You can upload a video that loops your static announcements OR you can check out Sign Presenter (I made a video on it, might be a better/cheaper solution if you just want static images)
Does PLEX stream media straight from your spruce computer? Or does it require Internet access? That is, could it be sent over ethernet without any internet/

Just came across the channel, great stuff.

To Download movies from DVDs you can use make MKV
You definitely can use MKV and it should work fine with Plex, but they recommend using MP4 as the container with h.264 video codec for best results.

Plex is multi platform, but I’m not sure it works on raspberry pi. I would guess yes.
Nice tutorial, is it possible to display different contents to different screen using one appletv/ plex server ?
Nice job. I am sure you saved me a few hours in setting up my Plex server.
Awesome! Glad to hear!!
Thanks The Lord for this search result.

Any nas that says it supports 4k transcoding should work.
Hello!!! This is really awesome but wanted to know....
Can we do this also for just static church announcements images not videos??

I think it could work locally.
All good and well, my only question is: why not just use RUclips? 🤔
Excellent video :)
Glad you liked it!
Appreciate the video on your Plex fleet, thumbs up, but “church tech” definitely rings like an oxymoron. Science > Dogma ✌️
Appreciate the thumbs up. If you're ever in the Southern California area, stop by my church and say hi :D
