I currently operate an HP Proliant server running ZFS in RAIDZ2. I prefer ZFS over Unraid due to its robust recovery capabilities, contrasting with some concerning stories I've heard about Unraid horrors I've heard. The reliability of ZFS became evident during a dist upgrade when a simple "zpool import neriak" effortlessly rediscovered all disks and correctly configured mounts, including NFS/SMB connections. I run Plex on the same server, utilizing a low-profile Nvidia card with early CUDA support for hardware encoding, compensating for the absence of built-in encoding in the processor. I plan to transfer Plex operations to a superior system with a better GPU and CPU, but I'm waiting until I have time to bond the two Ethernet jacks. I encountered challenges with a guide I attempted to follow, like the example article linked, but keep failing. fortunately, the first method proved non-permanent and cleared on reboot.

[quote = "Corb3t" post = "536312495"] I love that Apple implementing a solution to aging batteries is this huge gotcha: rolleyes:. Their solution actually extended the lifespan of the device for many users, because the phone would just shut down altogether if they hadn't: "Some have argued that introducing a feature to prevent handsets with degraded batteries from rebooting is in fact the opposite of planned obsolescence since a slower non-rebooting phone would be preferable to the alternative." You can still use any app on your iPhone 6s with an old lovely battery, my man. [/ quote] I like during these utter poo poo flinging arguments, we all just can't come together with a single answer and just make all batteries the easiest to replace. Apple, Google, Samsung, whatever  Oops, can't have that for any! Edit: and before anyone brings up Apple Self Repair, no. Submitting IMEI/Serial should not be a requirement lol EVIL Gibson fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Dec 3, 2023 |

Dicty Bojangles posted:Is there any way to turn off the "layering" that happens when leaving a TV episode in the Android Plex app? Leaving the player goes to the episode info screen, then hit back from the episode it takes me to the season screen, then back from that goes to the show screen, then finally back to the home screen. I just want to go straight back to home without having to go through endless layers. Plex is the demo of an app that is more form over function. It's annoying. Two ways. The first way is how I do it because it's two quick swipes and pressing Plex Go into Recent App views. Via Android you do this by
Find Plex app and swipe it up to kill the app. Then start Plex again. It will take you through the login process again and then home. I apologize if you already know how to do this. I'm just being complete. The second is to make a Plex search shortcut. You do this by holding down on Plex and then hold down on Search until it lets you drags it to the screen as a new Search "app"  Click on this Search will take you to the (you guessed it) the Search section of Plex no matter if the app is already or running or not.  You hit that back button (pointed) and Plex takes you to the home no matter what.

For those that want to rename a lot of stuff , like turning "Season 1" in a filename to "S01" , look up PowerRename in Windows If you know a bit about Regular Expression (my first official job was taking care of a perl script so I had to learn it) and know how to match capturing groups and returning the text of those groups, it gets even better. This video is a demo of the above problem live. https://youtu.be/Wv_aMc5vHqY With power rename and looking up how TVDB sorts the episodes of the show, it gets better than paying $X of money for a license to use another popular tool out there.

spincube posted:I'll vouch for the imaginatively-named Rename My TV Series v2 - it's cross-platform, completely free of charge, and will both rename files and sort them into folders if you want. Oh cool. Installed it and it looks great. The app I was talking about before was  Filebot  . Which is $6 a year which is annoying because I might use such an app like 1-3 times a year. While Filebot can also do movies, those problems are less of a problem.TV episodes can get way worse and my last battle was getting the final episodes of Attack on Titan First the numbering system. Long running shows use both numbering schemes of episode # in airing order or S04E## like normal. In this case, both S04E28 is also episode 87. TVDB uses S04E## ordering so no problem. NOW THE loving HELL - Read if you want to wince along. You watch what they call "The Final Chapters" and there were two different ways to watch it. You can watch it episodically through episodes S04E29-35 -or- watch two specials marked as SP-1 and SP-2 which is all the content in two long airings. I downloaded all the episodes and they refused to load into Plex. Then I looked up TVDB and it looks like the end of the season finished on episode 30 so 5 episodes are missing.  Then I thought, maybe it's just looking for the two specials. I got them, put them into the directory and it instantly picked it up. Now the season ends with SP-1 and SP-2 and because TVDB refuses to consider anything else besides these two specials, the rest of the episodes were worthless.

What are you even talking about? Anyway Takes No Damage posted:*anime has entered the chat* TV networks in the US used to be really hosed, they would just play any episode in whatever order. Star Trek:TOS was the biggest example where episodes were just randomly released in any order ... which wasn't really a problem due to the story usually being fully contained in an episode There was one instance where a network just made everything confusing as all hell for the story by releasing the season finale as the first broadcast. The network was Cartoon Network. The show was "Moral Orel"  In the first episode, Orel learns from the sermon at church that Jesus was immaculately conceived. The mother and father (Bloberta and Clay, respectfully) have a very confrontational discussion by Bloberta saying that Reverend's sermon was pointed at Clay of how everyone knows that Shapey, Orel's younger brother, was unwanted. Clay brings up that he doesn't even know when and how Shapey was conceived, which Bloberta states that's probably due to his horrible drinking problem. Orel is listening to the conversation that takes the fact that Shapey was conceived without his father and comes to the conclusion that Shapey is the second coming of Jesus. Moral Orel is a hell of a show.  By the end of the episode, the trust issues between the parents comes to a point and decide to have a divorce. Clay leaves the home. THIS IS THIS FIRST EPISODE!! The second episode is the actual first episode and has the entire family together again, and you'd not be faulted for wondering how they are not divorced anymore.

I read documents and it looks like you can force that openssl package to upgrade but what about normal system updates?

About the sync issues before, is it immediate sync issues or over time it becomes worse? I've had issues with rips when I used variable bitrate (VBR) where the audio and video slowly become more desynced. I encode every video now with CBR (constant bitrate) even thought I am using different codecs now. For information I saw this problem with divx+mp3 but now usually do h265/h264 + ac3.

Kibner posted:I thought my partner ran into something similar, but she can't remember. She thinks it may be a PAL thing, or the video track was edited in some way without the audio, or it's a sample rate thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comments/r4w4xd/slowing_down_pal_audio_to_sync_with_bluray_video/ I know when a variable bit rate is used for audio, it will cause sync issues over time. To confirm this or possibly find other issues use the following two commands For extracting audio: ffmpeg -i PRECIOUS VIDEO\ MOMENTS.mkv -vn -c:a copy PRECIOUS_VIDEO_MOMENTS_audio.ac3 For extracting video: ffmpeg -i PRECIOUS VIDEO\ MOMENTS.mkv -an -c:v copy PRECIOUS_VIDEO_MOMENTS_video.mkv Look at the length of the video and audio in whatever you want. If they are the same then what I do is just dump both files into a video editor like Premiere and see what it looks like. If the audio turns out to be shorter in Premiere, I just rate extend the audio track to meet the end of the video and make sure to choose CBR when encoding out. If you need PEAK "professionally-mastered content" (read the editor used filters and up selling fake HDR.) then change the above ffmpeg export commands above to use mpeg2 as the video format and flac for the audio for that  Criterion collection qualityIn handbrake drop the glistening glossy files in and make sure to set the audio bitrate ABOVE what it normally was and super double confirm that it isn't using CBR and not VBR. CBR equals "Constant Video Bitrate" Then bless the hell out of that holy as all hell file that has now been kissed by Baby Jesus in Pampers and see if the sync is gone.
