The purpose of this walkthrough is to provide details on how I set my Chromebox for my own use – with a standalone boot of Ubuntu Linux (14.04). I have also set up my Chromebox with VNC for local access (or remote desktop access) and Plex Home Theater, which I will go over as well. Home Setup At home, I have a Synology DS212j, which has been updated with the. The DS212j contains all my media (movies, tv shows, music, photographs) and works well hosting those files. It also runs perfectly fine running Plex Media Server (PMS). Keygen Bat Pm Fastrak V74 on this page. The limitation of running PMS is that the Synology DS212j (or DS215j) do not have the processing power to transcode my.mkv media.

In otherwords, you cannot directly play a video from the Synology NAS unless the hardware (laptop, desktop) you are using to view the media is capable of transcoding the media. Using a tablet, phone, Chromecast, Roku with the Plex app will not work. I previously used my primary desktop computer, which has Plex Home Theater (PHT) installed, to connect to the PMS on my Synology NAS.
