I’m looking to create an easy solution that is child/wife friendly. I’m hoping to get a set up going without internet. I however would like it to run like a Chromecast with plex.
I was thinking of a
Dell Optiplex 3020M Mini PC USFF, running windows 10
An external hard drive with content.
From here is where I have gaps. Could I set up a plex server offline on the device, with plex media player and use an Flirc remote with pre-programmed buttons?
Essentially, I’m trying to create the experience of watching Netflix on a Chromecast but with plex and a pc remote control of some sort (with pre-programmed buttons that load up content so kid and wife only have to press one or two buttons to get to their shows)
Thanks!

Might not be the best place to say this, but considering Plex relies on online authentication servers to function it might be better for you to look into Jellyfin which works fully offline.
You can just skip auth on local IPs.
Make sure you don’t use bit subnet masking i. e. 192.168.1.0/24
Use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 version.
Think it could be worth looking into Jellyfin over plex in this case.
