doesn’t plex make you janitor metadata endlessly

I just want to play my files, kodi points at an smb share and boom

also, doesn’t plex ask you to pay for a subscription so it can send a list of all your dvdrips of my little pony to the feds

no and no

put tv shows in one folder and point the server at that and say it’s tv

put movies in another and point the server at it and say it’s movies

(if your poo poo has been downloaded from proper piracy channels it’ll all be named appropriately)


if you want multiple users you need to pay for poo poo but it also doesn’t prevent you using the same single user for the server and multiple clients at the same time

and gfs smart samsung tv has the app installed so we just watch on her tv with no added anything’s


the closest I think I had to janitor it was telling it to refresh the index when new files were added to the server folders rather than just once a day

plex is fine with compressed video but cant handle full disks and direct play is extremely finicky

appletv does own, i have no idea why macrumors would say not to buy it right now. theres no technological standard they could possibly be upgrading it to as far as a video playing device goes, except 8k, and theres zero 8k content.

what non-compressed video are you playing?

like i have a 96TB NAS full of direct blu ray rips and that poo poo is still obviously VC1 or AVC/MPEG-4 off the disk

hell even recording video from a camera down to prores is still somewhat compressed, i can't recall touching uncompressed HD video in the purest form other than interconnecting broadcast gear with HD/3G-SDI

this has not been my experience. occasional janitoring yes.

we have a 22 core xeon i got for free from work as the plex server. with 24TB of RAID. its in a friends house with fiber and it streams to like 10 of our idiot friends simultaneously.

it has an ombi web interface to request movies or shows from newsgroups and it grabs them.

you need a plex login acct but it is free.

the touchpad on my work laptop got disabled and i couldn't convince it to turn back on

ended up restarting it out of desperation. as punishment, it took like 5 minutes to get past the "Restarting..." splash screen
