The Plex Media Server can be downloaded for free from the Plex Downloads page. Instead, you use the Plex Web App to manage your server. When you run the server on your computer, NAS, or other device, you won’t see a window open with a “server UI” or similar. Tip!: It’s important to understand that Plex Media Server does not have its own graphical user interface. Make sure you have show folders that contain season folders that contain the episodes For TV shows, the folder structure can be very important.

TV Show episodes are stored in their own folder as follows:Į.g., /TV Shows/Dexter/Season 01/Dexter s01e01.mp4.TV Show episodes are named with the season and episode:.Movies are gathered together in a “Movies” type folder, TV Shows in a “TV Shows” type folder, etc.You may already be naming and organizing your media files in a way suitable for Plex. If not, you may notice content isn’t recognized, is mis-matched, or not found at all. Hope you can provide some help.Before you begin installing Plex Media Server, it’s strongly recommended that you check that your media collection has been named and organized in a way that Plex will understand. Regarding booting from usb i guess i can use a usb stick and format it to ext4.the one issue I’m not sure how to tackle is the plex data folder as it grows with the library and that is the biggest concern for me rn. Search the web for “Windows X11 forwarding” and “Android X11 forwarding” respectively. I had such a setup once, but honestly don’t remember exactly.PuTTY allows X11 forwarding via SSH and I guess, since the Xserver runs on the client, this would be best solution to run games. It is possible to install an Xserver on Windows systems and run graphical programs on remote client by this. But the boot partition will and needs to stay on SDcard, AFAIK. So if you want to have it on the same external drive as above, then jep, you need a separate ext4 partition then. On RPi you can move the root fs to an external drive.So looks like NFS-only is best choice in your case.

Samba works as well, but it is more resource hungry and I would only use NFS or Samba, based on client requirements, never both.
