Re: [HOW TO] Using Your NAS as a Home Media Center
It will be... Asustor staff have been busy rolling out ADM2.0
Once ADM2.0 stable is out they should be able to complete an XBMC app... We are just playing the waiting game until then

Re: [HOW TO] Using Your NAS as a Home Media Center
I can not find anywhere to put information about Plex....
I have installed Plex but can not login from remote. No matter how I tried with the user name and password, it just did not work....
But then when I got home, I can connect through Plex right away under Lan. And I did some configuration on the Plex account and then done with the Setting/Plex Media Server/MyPlex. The thing that is for sure required in order for remote Plexing is that you got to set the Server is mapped to port xxxxxx
This is what I found out in order to remotely Plexing....
