ethanpil Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I would love to connect my UnRaid box directly via HDMI to my TV and play files from storage via web/phone app. Or even plex or similar, but instead of stream/transcode to remote, just play it locally with some linuxy video player. Is there any way to do this without VMs, etc? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 *Technically*, You could install either jellyfin or plex and via the GUI boot mode would be able to watch the videos via Firefox, but you wouldn't have any sound. Your easiest solution is to simply cast the videos from your phone to a chromecast enabled TV (Once again via Plex or Jellyfin) Or use a VM Quote Link to comment
ethanpil Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 But if I use a VM then I need to watch over vnc? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Ideally you would use hardware passthrough and assign a video card to the VM Quote Link to comment
