Plex server in AC87U

[toufiq47]

Hi

Is there any way i can install plex server in 87u?
This router has arm 7, 256 ram and optware support for merlin custom rom.

Thanks for replying

Even if you could, you wouldn't want to. Plex transcoding requires a pretty powerful CPU and that ARM is nowhere near being up to the job.

I dont want transcoding. Direct play is ok for me.
i use now raspberry pi 2 for plex server. Which has less cpu power than this router.
wondering if optware has a plex pacakage !!!

Neither optware nor entware have it as a package, but you could give it a shot manually:
