While unpredictable file naming results do occassionally pop up with Plex, I’ve always been able to resolve those issues it just takes tweaking. So it’s easy to manage.Īll the hardware is top-notch, the server OS runs on a 2TB M.2 SSD, and I have over 60TB of fast hard drives to store all those movie (MT2S and MKV) and music files much of which are DSD64/128/256 and thousands of FLAC files.

In terms of file naming and file system structure, it can be tricky, but EVERYTHING (Plex and Roon libraries and files) resides on my high-end media server running Windows Server 2019, as a simple file server. I DO have to admit that Plex is occassionally problematic, where the results of adding new movies and/or shows to the library is concerned. New tracks added immediately appear, and with its simple and highly effective user interface, I don’t have to search for anything in Roon everything I add just magically appears! My personal Roon music library consists of 780 artists, 3575 albums, and ovee 45,000 tracks, and I can control everything from my cell phone, which is pretty handy. We’re only 500 steps from the Pacific Ocean, and wild deer wander through occassionally, which always adds to the impact of living in the Great Northwest! With the sliding glass doors open to the patio, and out of the audio path, and with the studio monitors and subwoofers directly opposite the patio, it’s a very good spot to listen to tracks just recorded, previously recorded and ANY music in a very relaxing and beautiful setting weather permitting. I also use it for my personal music collection. I use Roon for music playback in my recording studio, which is adjacent to our patio where we take breaks and serve refreshments.

I use Plex primarily for movies (roughly 1900 of them) and TV series (House, GOT, Fringe, The Morning Show, etc.).
