It seems I have to install either of them for my chromecast to play nice. I have no prior experience with neither of them nor do I know which one is better.

 

There are various threads on the internet but would be interested which one the community uses / trusts, cause I am a bit hesitant on adding random repos.

 

My use case: Stream mkv on local with subs or transcode if it can't show subs.

Board: Orange Pi Pc

OS: Debian Stretch on 4.14.18

 

Would appreciate any feedback even if it's only a link to your preferred software / guide.

With armbian is easy to install openmediavault (OMV) using the commnad and inside OMV is trivial to install Plex Server. This blog is in Spanish but maybr you can reach the installation with a little help of Google Translator
