What streaming stick do people use for on-the-go Plex watching? I had an Amazon fire stick but it's been shitted up with ads and sponsored content and dumb poo poo I don't care about. Roku? I'm just using it for watching plex and maybe like YouTube. I don't care about streaming services and it's just for travel (I use an AppleTV at home). If AirPlay support existed it would be nice, but not required.

I like my Chromecast with Google TV (4K) for $50. I haven't had to use a hotel Internet portal in a long time, I have used my phone to hot spot.

I too use a CCwGTV when traveling. I just repurposed it to travel duties after upgrading to a Shield rather than specifically choosing it for travel, but it's worked well. Most recently was using it to stream my Plex server across the Pacific when I was on vacation in Japan. For just Plex and Youtube I can't imagine you'd be too disappointed with either a CCwGTV or one of the portable Rokus.

Ask me how I know. When I was configuring Debrid I spent a good evening trying to get Plex to see the new files, before in desperation mounting them in /mnt next to my local library. Started working instantly  I haven't got around to researching it yet, but is there some Linux thing that cares where files are mounted that it would only work in /mnt rather than a random directory in /home ?

Doing it in a more neutral location would help alleviate that issue. So, “permissions issue”.

I've been using a Google TV in our den lately, and the Roku I travel with feels a lot snappier, even if I hate Roku's screensavers and home screen ad. I'm sure there's a way to un-shittify it, but I'm lazy. The Google TV just tries to do too much, and you can't hide some of the home screen sections for apps/media I don't own or have downloaded, which is super lame. The YouTube TV integration is kinda nice, but it doesn't offer a live preview of a channel's content in the guide like the Apple TV version of the app, which is kinda weird. We also have two AppleTVs in the house, which are our favorites, but Plex's support for tvOS/iOS seems to have slipped recently with layoffs - some of their advanced player experience settings like adjusting skip credits can't be configured on the Apple TV, while every other player app has been updated to support it. Infuse is a great alternative, though. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Mar 13, 2024 |

The experience used to be nicer. I will mention however that if we go a long time between trips, sometimes I have to manually set the clock on the stick so that the SSL certificate on the captive portal is valid. It took me a lot of frustration to realize this is what was causing the cert errors. Debugging on these things is not exactly verbose. kri kri posted:Google tv cant do captive portals, so for travels its not great. and no, im not going to bother with a travel router. Google has such a dizzying array of similarly-named products, I can't even decide if I should tell you you're wrong. But the little dongle jobbie, with the remote control, works just great with captive portals.

It does not work, as of December 2023 at least. It’s the Google tv thing with chromecast or whatever the gently caress it’s called. Absolutely did not work with whatever captive portal Marriott uses.

If you're reading this thread then you're probably capable of working around that by spoofing MAC addresses. Assign the device's MAC to a laptop's wifi, do the captive portal dance, then disconnect and set the laptop's MAC back to the hardware default. Your device should then be able to connect.

Absolutely did not work with whatever captive portal Marriott uses. Okay, bear with me here... is it possible that your device had the wrong date, and the Android OS HTTP 204 check was redirected to a site with a certificate that was issued after the date your device thought it was, triggering a certificate error? If so, you need to go in and manually set the date so that you can get to the captive portal and punch in your room number and last name in order to get out to the ol' Internet. Ask me how I know this. cruft fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Roku supports captive portal, Airplay, and the home screen ads are (at least currently) very un-obtrusive. It also has very good Plex and Youtube apps. Seems like the winner here hands down.

Doing it in a more neutral location would help alleviate that issue. I went down a pretty deep rabbit hole of permissions tweaking trying to fix it, to changing directory ownership to plex:plex to adding the users to common groups to just setting everything to 777. It was probably still a permission issue, because it always is, but even my usual tricks didn't work until things were in /mnt  That YAMS thing looks like it would be a pretty good time to throw at a miniPC then add the arr that syncs settings over from Trash Guides. All my arr's are in FreeBSD jails but those can be a headache to keep up to date.

Has anyone had success getting Dolby Vision video to play back with Plex? I've been going down a rabbit hole the last couple days trying to figure out if Profile 5 playback is even possible at all and I've come to the conclusion that it probably isn't, and anyone online saying it works for them is likely lying. Profile 7 seems to work, but I'm getting suspicious that my TV is just falling back to basic HDR10 with profile 7 but still keeping the Dolby Vision logo up - however it at least works. Profile 5, regardless of player just results in green/purple video at best and a hardlocked PS5 at worst (yes, DV Profile 5 video will hardlock a PS5 if you try to play it via the plex app!) So far I've tried for clients, all with a Sony X900F TV Xbox Series X - Profile 7 appears to work; Profile 5 is green/purple PS5 - Profile 7 plays correctly, but does not display DV logo; Profile 5 crashes PS5 TV App - Profile 7 appears to work; Profile 5 is green/purple Apple TV - No DV support for plex

Gonna be joining you in this boat if my tv (also a x900f) also has these problems whenever I get around to trying out Dolby Vision stuff on the newer shield TV I got so I can move the old one somewhere else / have one with a working Ethernet port. I know the x900f USED to have weird "brightness is way too low" problems with Dolby Vision content when they updated Android tv to a newer version with the new layout a year or two ago.

Looking at the spec sheet your tv only supports HDR10 and HLG. Some profiles of Dolby Vision can fallback to HDR10. Looks like DV profile 5 doesn't fallback to HDR10 but profile 7 does at least looking at this Reddit post. Cheston posted:It should all be wired, 6 Mbps. No, most hard drives can do 100 megaBYTEs per second pretty easily and most streaming video is under 1 megaBYTE per second. Video is usually measured in megaBITs per second and 8 bits = 1 byte, I usually round to 10 to make the math easier. So if your Linux ISO is 50 megabits per second which is around a 4k Blu-ray h265 rip it only needs about 5 megabytes, which any hard drive could easily support.

If it's literally a single drive and it's already at/near full load supporting other random workloads, I could maybe see that becoming a bottleneck. Especially if it's something like unpacking usenet downloads that absolutely thrashes storage. But if it's just serving Plex at that particular time, no, it shouldn't be anywhere near a bottleneck.
