I need video streaming for home. My needs are:
* Windows server (existing W10 machine with JBOD) * Apple clients (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, AppleTV) * Multiple playback streams simultaneously * WAF high (will also be used by kids) * Possible to save video onto client devices for offline watching while away from home * Ability to control any stream from any device (for keeping checks on kids) * Support of as high resolution as possibly relevant (can one even rip 4K BD discs???) * Support of crummy video files too * Doesn't have to be entirely free, but please not Kaleidescape prices.
I understood Plex to be the front runner but I think in the past few years more have appeared. (My Dad uses Emby and recommends it.)
Recommendations?
