It doesn't transcode or allow easy access to media from away from home. You want to watch a ripped movie on your tablet from a hotel room, Plex does "transcoding" so it can convert any media in its library, in real time, to another format that a different device can read, since not all devices can read all format, it can find out what format any device can read and convert it to that format. It hosts your files, and can play them, but it really shines if you want all your media accessible from other devices. Plex can cost if you want more feature but the free does a lot too.
Otherwise, the built-in Intel graphics are more than enough to handle bluray discs or playback with room to spare, especially with a skylake. The only reason to need a video card is if you need HDMI 2.0 for 4K, since the 960 is one of the only cards with that feature right now.
I haven't quite found the answer I was looking for, so I posted here. It's worth mentioning I read all of the suggested threads before I posted this. Are there any other suggestions for good media suite programs? They don't need to be free, but being economical is good. I'd also like to try a few different programs for playback such as XBMC or PLEX to be manage libraries and playback. DVD and Music playback and ripping is pretty straight forward compared to Blu-Rays, so I imagine once the Blu Ray issues are resolved so will the DVD and CD issues. It needs to be able to play all Blu rays without having to rip them to the HDD first, but also being able to rip favorites when desired. The goal of this machine is to manage a home theater system. I5-6600K & 16GB DDR4 on a Gigabyte Z170X-UD3Ģ50GB Crucial BX100 SSD & 1TB WD Blue HDD I am currently setting up a media machine for the living room, here are the specs: Hey everyone, thanks for stopping in to help.
