    On a phone you are right. He didn't say what too.

    Plex pass will allow transcoding. 

    Even if its laptop. 1080p direct stream is fine. I don't personally see a point in a 4k screen for a laptop.

    1080p with low bit rate will be fine. 

    High bit rate 4k from Blu-ray not so much. That could be in excess of 20mbps.

    Only recently have I been able I do above 10 with Comcast. 

    No point remote streaming 4k if you are using a phone or a tablet due to the resolution. Also, you shouldn't be streaming if you are needing that bandwidth. Even on my 8 core 16 thread mini pc, cpu transcoding I can get 3x 4k streams to 1080p.

    This is good while at home, but if you don't have good upload speeds you will have problems streaming that quality of content. 

    2.1 mbps for a 1080p movie. not even transcoding. Just direct remote.

    I mean, not exactly. I direct stream outside of home from how I converted my stuff. 1080p direct stream remote.

     

    And I dont have the best uplink

    Really all I want to run is stuff like Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, OpenBooks, NextCloud, PhotoPrism, and to operate as a basic NAS.

    Is there anything within this line of operation that would require more than an i5-3470?

    Zimablade / Zimaboard exists for SBC. Easily can run dockers

    Also, mini PCs from Minisforum do a good job and are low power. I have 4 of them for server use.

    Hi,

    So i started ripping my own blurays today, to a plex server, i got everything up and running and got my mum to test it to make sure it worked and sure enough it did took me like 2hrs but know i got there in the end. This is my first time for everything so now i want to know how to make the quality of the streams the best they can be i am using my gaming PC to host the stream for when am away from home (can be weeks at a time) my pc has a 5800x and a 3080ti (founders) 32gb of ram in it and is running on ethernet so i should really only be limited by my internet speeds right? i am using mostly 1080p blurays but i have a handful of 4k's and i am using makeMKV for the ripping. so help me tech gods how do i get the best image quality i can!

    thank you

    Handbrake over makeMKV

    I'd get it with the 210W AC adapter to be safe.

     

    You're going to quickly run out of ports. 8 will be enough?

    Well. Considering I have 5 ports filled, and 7 total, I have 2 free ports. Works for me honestly. I could either have 2 more APs (for my home the LR is fine), and 2 cameras maybe. Why 210W? That seems excessive for cameras 😄

  8. I have the LR-U6 AP , 3x G3 flex , and 1x G4 dome (I have room for 2 more cameras but probably wont be adding them, but still an option)

     

    I was wondering if the 60w Switch Ultra would be enough to power all of these (and maybe 2 cameras later).

     

    I would also be connecting my Cloud Key Gen2+ to it

     

    I think it should be enough? But I wanted to double check.

    Let’s take their point of view for a second, what should I change to improve things between us?

    Well, depends on how old you are and why they chose to have parental controls in the first place haha.

     

    I was 8 when I started messing with computer so I have parental controls till I was maybe 13 or 14 because I was doing the exact same thing so I could play CD games.

    If I get a new computer under the same account as my current one which is restricted by family settings, will it also be restricted? I mean this in the sense of screen time limitations.


    Thanks!

    If you buy your own computer, as others have said here, set it up with your own account. What parental controls are there if you build it yourself? By default your are an admin unless chosen otherwise. Or are working under Group Policy which is usually if you have a domain.

    I went from 4K 60Hz to 1440p 144Hz and couldn't wait to go back as the pixels/aliasing were so visible - but the motion smoothness WAS a big deal too.  Now on a 28" 4K 144Hz.

     

    I have a 28" 4K and 27" 4K right next to each other, the 27" looks a whole lot cleaner due to the higher PPI.

     

    Then again I mostly use these for looking at photos and video work.  Photo and video does a lot to hide the pixels due to natural anti-aliasing, its text and 3D rendering where its night/day difference to me.  Of course it always comes back to what you personally can tolerate.

    Thank you for the info. I may stop at Best Buy after work since its like 10 minutes down the road haha. See if they can show me a side by side.

    Actually 4K is not that wow if your monitor size is around 27”.

     

    I also downgrade from 4K to 1440p and no regret, but I am from Wide to Super Utrawide, which is longer version of Wide.

    And looking at your PC specs, we have similar performance (bit less for me 😄 but still close enough haha) And I am assuming you have no issues running 1440p Super Ultrawide yeah?

    Specs:

    Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk 

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x 

    GPU:  ASUS AMD RX 6650XT

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz C16

    PSU: Corsair RM750e 750W 

    OS: Windows 11 Pro

     

     

    Monitor the voltage of the CPU. I had this kinda on my 5950x, and was seeing the voltage do 1.5 before it crashed. I did a hard cap at 1.275v and it still booster to its 5.1Ghz and never crashed again. Again, voltage is different per cpu. 

  14. Hello. So I currently have a https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/ur550-series-u28r550uqn/ 28inch 4k monitor 60hz. My friend has a 1440p monitor, and I realized that from where I sit at my desk, I see a difference in quality, but not near the amount that I was thinking.

     

    I am thinking about getting the same monitor as them and sell my 4K

     

    This is the monitor they have, and it is on sale as well.

    180hz, AMD Freesync, 1440p, IPS panel, and it doesn't seem to be a bad price.

    https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-nitro-vg271u-m3bmiipx-27/p/N82E16824011467?Item=N82E16824011467&ignorebbr=1&ignorebbr=1&cvtc=1585037

     

     

    I have a Ryzen 5950x with a RX 7900 XTX card, so frames wouldn't be a problem. But I am interested in the anti-tearing which I do see on my 4k display currently. I really enjoyed how smooth the gameplay is on their monitor, and was wondering what you guys thought. I don't do "High quality" video editing and I don't do anything really color oriented.

     

    I play Palworld currently 😄 But I also play a little Fortnite, Avatar, Enshrouded, Ark, and few other games like those.

    I've been working on my first build for a bit, (following the ltt guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL4DCEp7blY) and I've come into a bit of an issue.

     

    The guide says that it's important to use standoffs in order to prevent your mobo from shorting. I'm using a case from a random desktop from 2010, and examining it shows that the holes for the standoffs are raised, meaning that if I insert standoffs than the mobo won't be aligned with the io shield. (You can see the raised bumps in the image below, I have the screws in there for safekeeping)

     

     

    Do I just need to get a new case, or is this case specifically designed to be used without standoffs? Any help is appreciated.

    (I'm using an Asrock b450m Pro4 as my motherboard)

     

     

    Case is probably for OEM boards. Good luck. I would just buy a different case

    I mostly play Apex Legends, Fortnite and Cod Cold War

     

     

    My specs

     

    (Cpu) AMD Ryzen 5 5500 

    (Motherboard) ASRock A520M-HVS | M-ATX | DDR4

    (Gpu) AMD Radeon RX 6600 | PowerColer Fighter | 8GB

    (Psu) Fourze PS550W | 550W | 80+ Bronze

    GPU would be a good start. Make sure your PSU can handle the upgrade as well

    Hey everyone,

     

    I have a NAS running Unraid, mostly used for Plex and data archives for me only.

     

    My current specs are:

    Intel® Core™ i5-2500

    Memory: 16 GiB DDR3

    Intel DH67BL

    No external GPU

    WD RED 4TB *3

    WD RED 3TB *2

     

    This is not good enough for 4K, so I must upgrade.

    I will re-use my PSU and case, I don't need new HDDs.

     

    My budget is limited, This is what I have in mind:

    Intel Core i5 14600KF

    Noctua NH-L9I-17XX LGA1700

    MSI PRO B760M-P LGA1700 DDR5

    Kingston FURY BEAST RGB 32GB DDR5 4800MHz CL38

     

    I have a PCIe SATA Card at home, not in use, I was thinking of using it to plug in one of the HDDs.

    (Rivo PCIe SATA Card 6 Port, with 6 SATA Cables and Low Profile Bracket, 6Gbps SATA 3.0 PCIe Card,Support 6 SATA 3.0 Devices, Built-in Adapter Converter for Desktop PC. From Amazon).

     

    Let me know what you think

     

    Thanks! 🙂

    Why not just get a GPU and let that do the transcoding?

    Save some money and go for a RTX 4080 or 7900 XTX. $2,200 is not worth the money. Not sure if that model is having issues, but a lot of 4090s were having the melting power plug issues. save yourself 1,000$ and get more storage, RAM, etc.

     

    Not sure when you want everything, but I think new GPUs are dropping soon.

  19. I have done a bit of troubleshooting myself, but I am having no luck trying to figure this out.

     

    I have checked if it was the graphics card and swapped it out, I updated the BIOS, removed 2 out of the 4 sticks of RAM, even just used 1 stick of RAM, tried wiping the OS and re-installing everything, done chkdsk and disk cleanup. Done virus scans and everything. I am not sure if its the power supply as I can't test that since I don't have another one laying around, but I am running out of ideas here of what it could be.

     

    Ryzen 5950x

    RX 7900 XTX

    4x 16GB RAM

    Samsung 980 Pro

    Corsair RM850X PSU

     

    Not sure if this is anything to go off of. But this is the error I think

  20. I have a UGX-Light from Ubiquiti, and I have a server running unraid behind it. I do have Nginx running in a docker which allows me to use overseer externally and the plex users I have (only like 3 family members).

     

    So I was playing around with just looking around, and I noticed that there is a "Security Detections" tab. So I clicked it out of curiosity and I am seeing all of these detections to my unraid server to the ports that I have allocated to my Nginx docker. Thats how I found out what app was being hit. 

     

    Now all of these are coming from the US, Netherlands, Russia, etc. I have the Overseer going through a VPN, so not sure what is going on here. 

     

    Can you please help me troubleshoot and figure out how to reduce how many connections are trying to get to my Nginx docker?
