will give it a go once the 8tb hard drive comes in the mail, thanks!

I do indeed care about it being free and open source, I just have 2 less tech-savvy people who are going to be using it and I dont know if its the right choice over Plex for the average end user. How would you say the usability is for someone who has never opened a command line or built a computer?

understood, will figure out which one i have and go from there if i dont have the correct version what do you suppose is the most cost effective option (think used on ebay) for like 3 1080p transcoding streams max? only 3 people will be using the server

What if i just re-encode everything to h264 so I dont need transcoding at all? or does jellyfin do something better than plex that i dont know about?

okay will give it a shot

So would i be able to get around this by just re-encoding all my files as h.264 so transcoding never has to be done? If i went this route would i even need a GPU at all?

can you explain what "transcode video" means like im 5 years old

I have no experience with plex but i want to build one using an old optiplex and a GPU + a new hard drive. Can someone tell me if this is enough for a simple plex server that can stream 1-2 instances of 1080p media to various devices: i5-2400 GTX 750 1gb 8GB DDR3-1333 8TB 72000 RPM Drive If you need more information to help me, please feel free to ask. I dont really know what im doing with plex so i dont know what kind of information i should give other than basic hardware specs.

any suggestion for over ear options in the $150 price range? the person who will be using them doesnt like in-ears.

i looked up the q20s and they are $60, i have a bit more to spend than that with a budget of $100, do you suppose i can get more if i spend the full 100?

how effective is the noise canceling in your experience? what about battery life? is it viable to replace the ear cushions with aftermarket ones?

thank you for your advice, would it help at all if i posted an image of the persons ear? Probably a bit strange but i want it to be as comfortable as possible for her

-Comfortable enough to wear for 6+ hours while sleeping (this is the most important by far) -Bluetooth -Active Noise canceling -Under $100 Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi I know its like 6 months later but i havent resolved my issue, I finally figured out how to switch to nvidia driver but i still cant select 120hz
