It’s really neat, if you go into the folder where it saves the file there’s a log in there you can open and read. It generates an ascii map of what the channel logo looks like and uses that to work out when it goes to commercial and not. Personally I set it to mark for skip rather than cut out as it’s not always perfect but it’s pretty drat good.

Thinking of doing Stream Master to pass my m3u onto plex.

Pulled the trigger on that used prebuilt Optiplex 5070 Micro.(i5-9600T / 16GB / 256GB m2 SSD). Got it OBO on $250 CAD down from $330 CAD. Thanks for the protip on used Optiplexes, happy with the price and form factor.

Alas I don’t really use the DVR much as a bug snuck into Threadfin in the last version or two that makes it think everything is a movie, so TV recording just doesn’t work properly anymore. It’s not being developed anymore so I’m hoping it can be hand fixed when I have some time to look into it. When it was working, I just had a separate folder setup for DVR stuff and had it save into there, away from downloads.

I’m now DVRing jeopardy and live sports off the antenna, which is cool. One thing I’ve decided to do is make a special DVR folder to dump those into. It defaults them into just the TV section and I think I’d like to create a section on the interface for stuff I’m going to watch once and delete rather than hang onto.

You can even automate that, it doesn’t always work perfectly but mostly enough. Go to the show entry in Plex and hit edit, then in Advanced you can set criteria for keep/delete. For nightly shows, Jeopardy I usually do the last 3 episodes to air. You can also set to delete after watching etc.

I built a new media pc and the first thing I noticed is plex htpc flatpak performance with 4k content really blows. I thought it might be a wayland thing but it seems to be this known problem with intel igpus not doing the expected hardware acceleration: https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-desktop-on-linux-flatpak-is-not-doing-hardware-acceleration/850675 So that sucks. It's actually better to just run plex in the web browser lol.

Why not just install with your package manager?

As far as 8 I know plex only provides the HTPC app as a flatpak. At least I cannot find any mention of an rpm or any repos providing it. It sucks because mpv from rpm plays stuff just fine. You can muck with the mpv.conf in the flatpak but so far I haven't found any setting that makes any difference.

withoutclass posted:Why not just install with your package manager? It could be as simple as creating the menu icon for an application via console might be really hard or, even worse, the htpc software might not even have the permission to look at anything outside its environment. For the Op, what os and htpc software are you using? It looked like Fedora? My take on flatpaks is that it looks great on paper, but any containerization can be utter shitters on GPU performance if you are not going out of your way to configure that specifically AND confirming it works. other people posted:As far as 8 I know plex only provides the HTPC app as a flatpak. Plex provides it. now, is it a GOOD release? Different question  It's like Nvidia took 10 years to actually make good video drivers as an example.

quote:One of the things we’ve already started to prove in 2023 is that we can absolutely monetize some of that data…in a very privacy-friendly way. I know some of you think I'm overblowing this, but having worked at several promising startups that suddenly found themselves facing serious cash flow issues, I've seen what happens to the corporate moral compass when money gets tight. Reading this sort of statement when they've just raised a bunch of funding is concerning to me.

cruft posted:the corporate moral compass This has never been a thing though, regardless of funding e: my point with this snarky post is to suggest that “getting funding” is not necessarily an indication of poo poo suddenly going sideways because a corporation is always going to do what it thinks will lead to profitability.

Always love being called a Cassandra, classic. The concern is less so about funding and more so this kind of thing: quote:As a result of Plex’s ability to track users’ media discovery behavior and consumption across platforms and services, the company has a unique perspective from a data standpoint. That will be the focus of its future business initiatives, too. I don't know what to tell people who can read that and still not understand the writing on the wall. Who knows when the breaking point will happen for the average user; but it's naïve to pretend it's not on the way.

On the other hand, knowingly and deliberately turning away from 'streaming poo poo YOU own from YOUR hardware' to 'streaming poo poo WE licence from OUR corporate partners from THEIR data centres', to the point where ad-supported streams now account for 'much of its revenue growth', seems like a fundamental material change to their business model to me.

This isn't hard and it's always funny to see everyone get upset every few months. The second it stops streaming my media to my devices I will switch to jellyfin. Until then I do not give a gently caress about VC money or IPOs or whatever. I do not care if they're tracking my Linux isos or watching habits. My data was sold and mined years ago.

This latest plex news prompted me to try jellyfin again. Super simple to set up and the jellyfin htpc flatpak plays 4k just fine with hardware accel on this i3. But by golly is the UI ugly. It seems people have made different skins so maybe I will try to get one of them working.

I’ve got both running for now. I need to get my TV tuner set up with Jellyfin to see how it handles that but I’ll definitely miss Plex’s ‘90s basic cable experience that is their streaming TV. A Fukkin Unsolved Mysteries channel?! 24/7 strongman competitions? All it needs is a constant stream of John Hughes movies like TBS had.

Stream master looked neat, but sadly doesn’t support my system and is missing some things that TF has (after I worked with the Dev to fix them) that I haven’t seen any other stream amalgamator featuring.

For those of us using Nvidia GPUs for Encode/Decode, they have upped the limit from 5 to 8 encodes on consumer cards - and on some low-end Quadro/RTX cards as well. Which means less driver fuckery to uncap the previous limit. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

Hi, and welcome back to the Plex Edition of the Neckbeard Culture Minute! What is it about home media streaming that turns people into the most passive aggressive 'lords in the universe? The world may never know. My favorite part of this is the snark about quality being law, followed immediately by misunderstanding the difference between resolution and bitrate.

I literally don't understand the "don't transcode 4k" thing. I have people streaming remote that don't have the bandwidth, or perhaps not even a 4k TV. Why would I keep multiple copies of things and add complexity to just picking which version/which library to watch things in? Ebay GTX1060 go brrrrrrrr and everything just works. What a nonsense opinion.
