Afternoon OcUK!
I currently run my NAS at home on an Atom D510 box, with FreeNAS software on there. Unfortunately I've recently wanted to use it as a media server rather than just a fileserver, and I've discovered that without upgrading software and playing around with 3rd party plugins (in beta) there isn't a media server option.
Whilst I'm more than capable of doing this, it's a bit of a "straw that broke the camel's back" since I have never been that pleased with the FreeNAS UI, or power management, or requirement for a bespoke (ZFS) filesystem, so I was wondering what other alternatives people would recommend? Essential requirements are Media Server, decent power management (ideally a full power off after x time idle), and good web UI.
Cheers!
