Been a plex user for a little over a year now and I'm very happy with it. I mostly use it for music streaming and that works great. Plexamp (their music app) is simply really well put together.

It would have been nice if they integrated it in there existing app, didn't know plexamp existed until now. The google app is btw from a different dev, so seems skatchy even if it is linked from plex.tv

Because I want to use my media server as a DVR, and the freebies make you jump through a bunch of hoops to get guide data working.

 

I'm at a point in my life where I don't mind paying a little for something that "just works" if it means I save a lot of time and effort.

If you have it running, congratulations. I never get it to work on anything other than windows.

Most of the time i use the (samsung) tv app i curse at it. If you start something it starts usualy perfectly, but shit hits the fan if you touch the remote again. Had a stream stopped working only bc i rewinded 5sek. If you change audio/subs it a good 30% chance you get endless buffering afterwards. If it stops most of the time i need to restart the app.

The meta agent is nice and i mostly don't have a problem with this. But i do think they should add a native anime media library and focus more on library users and not on streaming as this it what did made them big. A usefull tool to "painlessly" stream from a multi TB content collection.

So for new people i would recommend to test there usecase on Kodi, Emby, Jellyfin, ... first and try plex to compare it.

But in my opinion plex is not the go to media server anymore and it looks like Plex will go even more into streaming service users. So if one wants a (offline) media library one should look at software for this.

If i didn't have a larger media library with some custom metadata and an plexpass i would try a switch. But with these conditions plex still needs to get worse, so maybe in 2 yrs.

Try reading a bit in the plex forum or just look at there website to get a feeling in which direction it will go.

(Just my personal opinion btw.)

Wathed this nice video from DIY Persk about a episcope lense.

Some form of review / reaction from brandon or even a rebuild with alex and brandon would be nice. Maybe a small FP exclusive? 

still rocking an old amd card, so no luck on that front

I am trying to game without a headset. It is managable with a capacitor mic and fine tuning of the speakers but sometimes loud noises from games will be picked up.

Is there some software i could feed my mic and speaker in and it will subtract the speaker audio on a virtual Input source ?

Or is my best bet noice cancelling software? Any recommendations fo a noice cancelling software with focus on gaming audio?

Currently i use discord, if there are options there.

these were my only ideas. A (custom) messed up boot logo in the bios would be new to me and should be reset after a reset/bios update, what you both did.

Sorry then.

typical electrical tape is made for a 0-80°C range. So for a 75W PCIe Slot (complete 16x slot) it should be fine. But it may liquify it's glue after a year or two. No mechanical risks there only gross if you plan to make it better later in time.

Would recommend something like kapton tape.

Did you check if something like "Fast Boot" is enabled? Or other options to show/hide the Logos?

Did you set "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true" in grub.cfg?

Did you remove "splash" from "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" in grub.cfg?

how old is your laptop?
are all the fans spinning?

did you overclock it?

got a somewhat problematic topic i would time some more insight in a 20min format with research not done by me.  

Blu-ray Ripping (on Windows) and it's made up hassles

With how pricey bd drives are and how cheap tvs have become, i find it way cheaper to rock a plex server.

(oh and tvs/sound bars may not even have enough input ports)

Problematic could be that it is often illegal to "break" a working copy protection, even if it is legal to have a private copy of a media you bought.

Yeah i know problematic may be a bit of a understatement.

Does WA now require an active sim card? Some time ago you could register a WA acc too any number and just type the digits by hand.

Some folks just used there landline.

I have a FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable set up for Live-TV and i wanted to integrate it my Plex Server.

On a Windows and Linux Plex Server it works just fine but on GhostBSD or FreeNAS it didn't find it.

In the logs it looks like they don't see my Fritzbox, but VLC-Player on these machines works for Live TV. So the clearly see my FritzBox

On Windows and Linux Plex instances it recognizes an possible IPTV server and it just works.

Is there some magic BSD setting what blocks me?

Is IPTV / Live TV / DVR on FreeBSD with Plex still working?

My Conclusion after ~ 1 Year

OMV was nice but with a limited UI. Did it's job but was sometimes a hassel to deal with.

After ~8 Month i switched to FreeNAS and am still happy with it. I do miss linux but the better and easier UI is worth it.

The default seperation between OS and jails/VMs is something i realy appreciate. Only the OS with configs runs on the Bootdrive, everything else has to be in a jail/VM

In case you need to restore your boot media, just install a fresh copy and load your config file.

You could do it in OMV with docker yes, but you don't have to. Sometimes ppl need to be forced or they won't do it.

So i would recommend FreeNAS, but you need to check if the hw you are using is supported (e.g. NIC, HBA).

ok thought a 2400g will get problems if i stream 4k too my samsung smart tv plex app, atm there are only 5 files which i could save in a compatible format but 30$ would it be worth if i don't have too care about a codec.

sorry for beeing sarcastic to a srs reply, but most popular kinda triggered

freenas ok, ~16gb ram (start) 2tb+4tb+8tb (start) at which point in time should i upgrade the ram.

at which point could it be noticable "laggy" if >1TB ~1GB RAM, e.g. if my next hdd is a 8tb drive and i don't pull the old ones, what would be the resultes?

freenas without ecc works but it is a data risk, wouldn't it be protected by raid 1 (sry didn't realy understand zfs so far)?

I'm building a storage + media server for home use with max 3 users/connections.

1 for backup storage

2 plex apps (only local)

i don't plan runing any vms or many dockers, maybe bitorrent for offsite backup, thats it. 

sadly my media is all over the board, got some backups of uhd bds and lots of backups of vhs (well not a backup, tape+sun). I want to run plex on it so i have the r5 2400g in my near final selection.

r5 2400g because,

-old ati fanboy

-am4 (i hope am4 will be around when 1151v2 is forgotten)

-possible ecc (atm the selected board (~60$) dosn't support ecc but maybe a later one 

no ecc (atm) -> price. I can buy one part each month, best case.

case is FANTEC SRC-2080X07 with a cheap 2x6GB/s sas hba

so now is my question, for which OS should i go?

unraid+plex, +did read will work - I can't afford a huge Parity drive so it is likely i have to upgrade it down the road (sounds totaly easy). - I can't change the raid beyond 2nd parity drive

freenas+plex. +didn't read much but i think there is a working jail, -got no ecc, -1tb~1GB ram isn't possible atm (money >.<).

openmediavault+plex sounds so far most likley to be what i need

btw. i read plex supports hw transcoding only on intel or amd+windows, is it correct?

i think bittorrent is possible for all 3, any better experience ?

----

Please don't point me to a pre build nas, some guys got guns, toy railroads or old coins. I will have a Server next to me it's a hobby and i like it but now i'm at a point if i don't ask it will only hurt me later

I used  Can You RUN it back in the days and was rather convinced.

Don't know if there is an option to checking multiple games but at least for specific ones.

Well good content will come with good a uploader so there are probably more good torrents on a open site (you don't have to know s.o. on this site) but are probably overshadowed from these crap torrents sometimes not even fully seeded.

I guess first IF there should be not so leagal stuff ongoing it is a bit harder.

But most important for me they aren't so easy targets for trolls and spammers and you can somewhat control what people are on your tracker.

In my experience the forum/community in invited trackers is better.

but a public tracker for me is where i need no login there are still trackers with open and required Anmeldung

3 minutes ago, tatte said:

Generally? Public means anyone (read: copyright holders) can find your IP, contact your ISP and demand your personal information. The rest depends on your country and your ISP, but generally if they get your information, they'll be contacting you for compensation with threats of legal actions. Invite-only trackers effectively reduce this risk, but can't remove it completely.

But you can get tracked on every tracker so only download legal content 

EDIT:

If your question is focused on Trackers needed in the tracker Tab/window of a p2p client they are for peer sharing among a specific torrent.

Open tracker just don't need a login but do the same, at least share the IPs under the torrent peers. They can do more(like logging IPs, Up/Down Rate, Files on Seed...)  but if this is good or bad is your decision 

Used both types for putting large files on a server from no 24/7 machine and work just fine

I can recommend a small pallets or assortment box (best if top is uneven)

Can't recommend anything higher than 20cm or it will "shake", at least in my cases (old drawer and big box upside down)

or just go to a local home depo and buy standoffs e.g. for flowers

Hi,

I got a little problem with my moded USB slot.

This slot was always occupied with my wireless mouse receiver, for "better" in/out of my bag I opened the case and soldered the receiver pcb too the 4 pins (USB2).

So no problem there, mouse works and it slides nice and easy in/out of my bag.

My problem lies with the visible USB slot, which I can't use anymore, power is there but devices aren't recognized.

I always taught an USB HUB is is like a Network HUB Pins are just hard wired.

So it looks like this isn't the case, maybe.

Did I kill D+/- ? (would be the best option)

Or does a USB HUB connection work?

It should be wired like this

Notebook MB - v - > Visible USB Port -> Udisk

                          > - > receiver pcb

If I need a HUB or a single IC for this would it like this?

Notebook MB -> IC/HUB - v - > Visible USB Port -> Udisk

                                            > - > receiver pcb

If so, i think i'm screwed and now got a charge only usb port

BTW: A simply paint like tool for the forum would be nice, i'm not good in asci art

yeah eh, the chick is out.

the chance is high this will be an illegal act, but not 100%

So for what you want i think it isn't possible too run a wget on a non rooted nas, but with torrent it could work, many nas systems can work with torrent files.

used this a couple times if i had too get or put large files  like backups on my server.

But the possibility is high you won't download movies you own, or have the rights too do so.

Means it is against the forum rules too help you, think you fked up way more in your 2. post.

you mean a nas running a webserver?

I think every NAS brand has a webserver plugin / addon / settings option too access files over port 80 (http) / 443 (https).

Just keep in mind if you run a NAS in your home and you download files in a place off the speed is (in most cases) limited by your home uplink speed, in case you have an asymmetric connection (e.g. ADSL1/2) it is rather slow.

This is what i think you mean

Home PC upload too NAS via windows network drive/folder (think it is SMB / CIFS)

go too your friends/family's house and download the nice holiday pics with a browser from your nas witch is running a DynDNS in case you got a non static IP in your home

would work with a Webserver and DynDNS running on your NAS, but is limited too you home uplink speed.

If you mean download it in your LAN there is no up/down limitation (except the network cards) and you only need the Webserver.

So you can type in http(s)://192.168.X.X/webserver and get a nice overview of the files, if you want something like http(s)://MyNasSystem/webserver it would be a little complicated and you should ask with details like what nas you are running, switches and routers in your network, maybe a little server.

can confirm, G930 is a good choice, used the predecessor and got the new version after it died.

Using it ~1y and still healthy, it's no Sennheiser but sounds are good enough for me, mic is ok but got some complains in ts and bn.

Range is really good, 2-3 concrete walls (without steel) no problem, ~15m  

Battery is truly great!

Watch some vids about it

PS: Buy some extra ear pads, included pads were crap sh*t (at least for me and my ears)

this was my first thought, but got interested "if" there is such a thing and without the SPOF concept i see there no reason why there wouldn't.

Hi there, I'm thinking about building my own little storage server.

and here comes the problem, i want it as small as possible so i would like too connect the Backplane directly too a pci(e) slot.

Yeah SATA/SAS (RAID) Controllers are nice, but they take space.

Are there Backplanes with a build in controller out there and what would be the name of such a combo?

trust me with a 500-750 budget with periphery i don't expect anything great.

but 10% off overall could be an ~200gb boot SSD

it more about,

ssd now 80

ssd 3 weeks befor cyber mondey 110

ssd on cyber mondey 90

would show as 30 bucks discount and i lost (well my friend) 10 bucks 

and shop sales are not really n option, it will be one big box, a screwdriver and some time.
