armandkd Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm currently transitioning from a dedicated Plex (+CouchPotato,+Sonarr,+Jackett,+Transmission) server to unRAID. I have installed the Community Applications plugin and searched for the relevant plugins. However, I am completely lost as there are so many plugins doing seemingly the same thing. Let's take Plex for example, there is: binhex plex (binhex) plex (linuxserver) Plex Media Server (plexinc) PlexMediaServer (limetech) The case is similar with the other plugins I wish to use (usually there is a binhex version and a linuxserver one). Are there any differences between those plugins? Have I missed a place summarising those differences? I tried searching on Google and the forum. Each tutorial seems to have its own preference without saying why, and the official threads do not outline any differences. Could you please help me figure out which versions to install? Thanks a lot. (I hope I'm posting in the right category) Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Fundamentally, there is zero difference between any of them and any will work out just fine for you. It's ultimately a difference of style and how updates are handled (lsio issues updates every Friday (Plex is updated everytime you restart it, whereas Binhex issues updates based on the "latest" release in the Arch repo IIRC) 1 Quote Link to comment

binhex Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I recommend the binhex one, it comes with a free cuddly toy Sent from my EML-L29 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
armandkd Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks @Squid @ijuarez & @binhex just as many concrete reasons as I've seen elsewhere haha, thanks anyway I ended up installing the official version for now. I figured it might be the one supported for the longest. I will update this post if I decide to switch for some reason. Quote Link to comment

If by the "official" version you mean the plexinc version, it is supported by plex. There isn't a support thread for that version on our forum. Quote Link to comment
