Just another update…
When it came to making plex start up from boot using the runcontrol scripts I had to add ‘mount -a’ as mycloud’s debian wasn’t doing so.
When it comes to actually trying to use this, it’s apparent that the MyCloud isn’t up to it. If you have a large library of media (mines 2.5Tb) with whole series (over a thousand files). Plex on WD MyCloud just can’t handle it, it spent all night building the library but then when I try to browse it, it times out. It’s probably just a lack of memory more than anything, which is a shame.
Oh well it was fun trying.
To any WD folks reading this. Plex is an excellent media manager and when you’re spec’ing the next iteration of NAS drives you should keep it in mind. Small form factor + Plex = Win.
