PLEX is great. You just keep one copy on your NAS and PLEX will take care of transcoding and streaming it to all your devices (TV, ROKU, RaspPI, Android stick, tablet, Apple...

I know slickbeared worked well on mine, never tried it with sabnzbd though...

You can install XBMC on Rasp. Pi and do 1080p playback(not sure what "large 1080p" means) but you have to purchase license key for MPEG-2 playback (direct DVD rips).
