Plex, alternative Linux à Pinnacle ShowCenter
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Plex is a reasonable replacement for Pinnacle ShowCenter if you're using a local Plex server to stream media to a Linux desktop connected to your TV. It offers a clean 10-foot interface, remote-friendly navigation, hardware-accelerated playback, and strong library management. However, it's not designed for direct DVD or CD playback out of the box—those need to be ripped and added to your library. If you're comfortable with that workflow and want a modern, account-synced experience, Plex works well. For pure local disc playback without setup, it's less ideal.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Pinnacle ShowCenter
Plex does not open Pinnacle ShowCenter project files (.pxp or similar). Those were specific to Pinnacle's editing environment and are not supported. However, if you exported videos from Pinnacle ShowCenter to common formats like MP4, AVI, or MKV, Plex can play them without issue once added to your library. There is no migration path for playlists or metadata stored in Pinnacle’s format.

Can Plex play DVDs directly like Pinnacle ShowCenter?
No, Plex cannot play DVDs directly. You must rip the DVD to a file first using tools like MakeMKV or HandBrake, then add it to your library.
Does Plex work without an internet connection?
Yes, once your media is on the server and the client is set up, playback works offline. However, initial setup and metadata fetching require internet.
Can I use a remote control with Plex on Linux?
Yes, most infrared or Bluetooth remotes that emulate keyboards work. You can also use the official Plex mobile app as a remote.
