Default Streaming from NAS with Apple TV

I played around with PLEX.

First, I installed the PLEX server on my Synology DS214+ but it does not have enough processor speed to handle all that goes on. It worked for some videos but not all.

Then I installed it on a Win 10 PC on my network and pointed it to my NAS directory. That seems to work much better and it even found DVDs I have on a USB hard drive connected to the NAS. This is powerful as I have over 9TBs of DVDs on Ext drives.

However, there are still a number of videos it will not play which I made about 15 years ago. They were from a digital Video recorder and then transferred to PC using a software which I CANT REMEMBER... So now I trying to use Handbrake (steep learning curve for me) to see if it will re-encode those videos or otherwise ‘fix’ them. But PLEX is the answer for me.

What is the advantage of the Premium version of Plex??
