But it seems like you either turn off the protection, or you don't use Plex. Or you get a different router, I suppose. Or reflash openwrt onto the one you have. Both of these options seem extreme to this humble poster.

I need a recommendation for a Plex NAS appliance. I've got two Plex servers, both on Raspberry Pi 4s. One is at my father's house. But it's become clear is that my dad needs something he can gently caress around with, and "an Ubuntu server install with systemd launching podman containers" isn't that. That's something I can gently caress around with. The dude has decided becoming a video librarian is his hobby now, and he needs his own appliance to baby. I know Plex runs on every drat thing. Is there a goon favored, Plex-capable, 2-drive NAS that gets regular security updates (HI WESTERN DIGITAL)? He's exclusively ripping DVDs to h264, so server transcoding doesn't need to outperform a RPi4. cruft fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 25, 2021 |

Anyway, yeah, this looks like a pretty capable Plex device. I'll check out that QNAP too, but having worked with QNAPs in the past, I'm guessing it'll be outside my price range.

I have five things left in the house which don't immediately (and inefficiently) turn AC into DC, and my new fridge only pulls 90 watts so it could theoretically be converted. The advantage to a USB C power outlet is that it won't kill you if you stick a fork in it. Also, in theory, DC house wiring could save me about $100 a year in solar energy that I immediately convert to heat outdoors in order to create alternating current which I immediately convert to heat indoors before powering my laptop. cruft fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Jun 29, 2021 |

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:I know people have said mpeg2 is a dead format Bit of a derail here, but I would say mpeg2 is more "stable" or "legacy" than "dead". There's a lot you might want to put into a video file that mpeg2 doesn't support, but this is more like GIF files: they're all over the place and for archival purposes they're not a bad choice. I think "dead" is the wrong term.

Yeah, I don't think browsers will play MPEG2. Chrome seems to have the broadest support for codecs and it won't do it. VLC will. I get your desire to keep things "original", but I don't think MPEG2 was really ever used outside of DVDs (maybe television?) so not many things actually implemented it. As a standard it's not going away. As a format to keep things you want to play on your laptop or cell phone, it's a bad choice. So transcoding these (keeping the originals, since you care about such things) is the way to go. I personally like Handbrake. For the "best" compression option, I recommend you do something like the Chromecast preset, which will preserve surround sound and encode to H.264. There is broad support currently for H.264, and since you appear to be willing to store the relatively large MPEG2 files just in case something better comes along (it will, H.265 support is growing right now), your plan should be to periodically, every 4 years or so, re-transcode your entire library to whatever the hot new thing is. Having written that, it sounds like a lot of work to me without a whole lot of benefit. MPEG2 is already a lossy encoding, and it's not very good at making files smaller, by today's standards. If I had the original uncompressed files, I would absolutely keep those around. But I don't, and neither do you: these are held by the production studio. Re-encoding MPEG2 to H.264, for me, has the benefit of wide support, making things much smaller, and since I don't tend to focus on smoke in the background of the shot, isn't reducing quality enough that I notice (except on Bladerunner, for some damned reason). E: Removing an "IIRC" in which I did not, in fact, recall correctly. cruft fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jun 30, 2021 |

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:OK thank you. I'll re encode to the Chromecast preset and I'll just keep the discs around as the "masters". I'll use the quality settings that keep the file size very close to the original mpeg2 files so there's virtually no quality loss but also compatible with web browsers. You can't melt stone with ice, none of that makes any sense.

H110Hawk posted:Gonna blow your mind here: `tail -F log` will periodically check the filehandle for freshness and make sure you're tailing the live file. This is how you can leave a log tailing "forever" through rotations. This doesn't always work, it depends on how the file is "rotated". If the inode changes (as a result of an mv, for instance), tail won't pick it up.

You can set it to follow the name (default, at least in ubuntu linux and centos) or the descriptor with -F. Okay, you were right, you blew my mind! I think I may have even known this ten years ago.

So if what you care about is giving them a consistent revenue stream, you'll use the monthly pass. In other words, the lifetime pass is actually going to get them sold the fastest. Those customers will never result in any additional income.  When they're purchased, I guess there's always jellyfin.

Lawen posted:Except that the thing that will make them an attractive acquisition to a larger company is recurring revenue. Amazon (e.g.) would much rather buy a company with a million subscribers who each pay $5/month than a company with $120m in the bank and no revenue. Okay, good point. But no revenue stream means at some point they'll stop being able to cut paychecks, too. I guess it's all down to how much they have in the bank. Given their posturing that they're trying to get bought, I'd guess the answer is "not enough".

forest spirit posted:How is Jellyfin in comparison? I haven't looked into it at all, but that's the only real competition in that space? It's not as mature but it works. When I loaded it up on my library, scrapping was pretty shoddy in comparison, and the way it approaches libraries was sort of weird to me (I don't remember exactly how, though). There's also Kodi, which is mature and pretty good but doesn't have the "be your own Netflix for your friends and family" features that Plex and Jellyfin have.

George RR Fartin posted:Unless I'm missing something (always a possibility), I did this the other day and it was as simple as setting up a SMB share and finding it on my local network on each device using Kodi. I don't believe the watched list transferred, though, so every device is sort of tracking independently. That could be a problem. If I recall correctly, you can work around this, and get everybody using the same scrapping database, by bringing up a MySQL server and exposing the port to your LAN. As a cybersecurity professional, I can't recommend anybody actually do that, however.

Because Android, iOS, and Web Browser all require different programming languages, odds are the plex app is three completely different programs, and the Android developer has been busy with other stuff that isn't making mashable face buttons that search by actor.

I regret setting my father up with a Plex server. Every night has been 3-4 hours of tech support. Tonight's issue was that he was upset it didn't see the MP3 files he moved over. Turns out actually it did see the MP3 files, but when you put 358,000 files in the top level directory and only have six album subdirectories, it only thinks you have seven albums. So he his this one album now with 358,000 tracks 😂

I'm curious if anybody else in this thread is using a Raspberry Pi as their server. I've been doing this and it's just grand. Recently switched from Ubuntu to OpenElec as the underlying OS. I'm running a 3-disk btrfs with RAID1 connected to a USB hub for storage. It seems janky until I compare it with what I was using for essentially the same task 15 years ago, and then it seems INCREDIBLE.

Bonzo posted:I guess that's cool and all but why would you want a 4k render of a 45 year old cartoon? A cartoon that old would be hard drawn, and would benefit from a high-res rescan, if the original cels still exist. This app they're using apparently uses neural networks to add fidelity to low res video, which is incredibly cool. In theory you could get close to, or even surpass, the fidelity of the originals animation cels, which are surely all but completely lost to history at this point. It's like the difference between a JPEG and an SVG.

How much of a pain in the rear end is it to rip Blu-ray discs? As streaming starts looking more and more like cable, where it's gonna cost me $100/mo to get the things I'm interested in, it's starting to look more attractive to just buy DVDs again. Or blu-ray, if it's not a complete PITA to get them into Plex.
