Since Google Play Music is being shut down and Youtube Music is a weak option (especially if you own your own library of music) I have looked in to various alternatives, and it seems Plex a good one. The bonus being I can serve my video content to my 4K tv better.
I have been looking in to a Plex server option that can stream 4K content and it seems like just buying a NAS might be the cheapest/best option (eg a DiskStation DS220 or a TS-253Be - around £300ish) or just a Nvidia Shield TV. Id like the option to use it as my main data storage/backup, so that likely discounts a Shield.
Was wondering if this would be the right assumption? Id love to build a server myself but comparing costs is it really worth it? Will NASes really cope with 4K? (My memory of my old QNAP was it being so slow.)
