Yeah, I get that this is what they're aiming for but home server with Plex is justified by the massive size a video and even music collections can reach.

- criddell 9y agoI think a lot more people share their music and video collections than their book collections despite the file size differences. Maybe it's because there isn't a book-Plex?
- pigeons 9y agoI've never heard of plex except in eve online context, but people have been sharing calibre content server links for many years
- thaumasiotes 9y agoMaybe it's because music and video can be easily consumed during the duration of a visit, whereas books take much longer? "Check out what I have on the server" makes sense for music and much less sense for books.
- roywiggins 9y agoPlex can also transcode, which is more important if your video is on a bunch of different formats that might not have hardware support on all your devices.
