Hello,
I've been researching for a while but can't find a satisfying answer, I hope some of you can help me find it.
Since my Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2 is no longer supported (and I've been thinking about purchasing a new NAS for a while) I'm thinking about purchasing the Synology DS916+ with Intel Pentium N3710 CPU (same as the WD PR-4100).
As far as I could find on this community, the WD PR-1400 is supported by Plex for Hardware Transcoding.
Will this also be the case for the Synology DS916+, since it has the same CPU?
I will be streaming 1080p (and in the future 4K) MKVs to my Samsung TV in the living room, mostly all of it will be Direct Play (so no transcoding needed).
Every once in a while I will be streaming to my Samsung TV in the bedroom, this will be transcoding 1080p to a Google Chromecast (new version).
Transcoding to an iPad Air 2 may also be a option in the future.
Will the DS916+ be up to those tasks with Plex Media Server and will Plex support the (built-in) Hardware Transcoding of this NAS?
