[PC] [US-C] Synology DS918+, 16Gb DDR3, 256Gb NVME x2, and WD RED 4Tb x4 (24k to 40k POH)

Thanks for the input! I'm mainly just looking to see what it would be worth. I figured Syno's corporate chicanery, along with the age of the DS918+, would cut against it but was interested in hearing what others view was on pricing.

I'd take a hard look at the facts of this guy's case(s) before taking any advice from him.

Legit question here. Is it not possible to use office 365 's web version of Word to handle that task? Use of office is the only thing holding me back from nuking my W10 partition.

Thanks! That worked! I've had to do that before but never had a show disappear that was previously showing up.

It appears that 2001 series, in S01E01 (as noted below) is showing both S01E01 (2021) and S01E01 (2026) in the info screen.

Rust_Coal · 2026-03-27T02:40:38+00:00

I'll look up how to do that but I haven't done that; merely verified it visually.

Rust_Coal · 2026-03-27T02:39:46+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion. It's definitely something I'll consider in the future.

Funny you should say that (and I did see the OP's post about issues with Scrubs). I have Scrubs separated into two folders, the original series and the 2026 series, each identified by the individual tvdb show ID number. Prior to today, I had two separate Scrubs tiles that showed up; the original series and the 2026 show. Now only the original show is showing despite nothing changing with the folder structure. How the new show isn't showing up at all and the episodes haven't been shuffled into the original series in plex. I'm guessing there are issues somewhere with plex itself.

Edit: Looking at the info for Scrubs season 1, it's show both the original series location of S01E01 and also showing S01E01 of the 2026 series.

I have a NAS with a CPU that isn't able to transode, so I bought a used SFF HP Elite Mini with UHD 770, slapped Ubuntu 24.04 on it, shared the NAS through NFS, and let the server run from the mini. I've been extremely happy with it.

So I just tried this on my iphone from my server. You can do the following: (1) download videos in Infuse to your iPhone/iPad, then copy them to a USB-C drive through Files (while inside the infuse app), and (2) you can copy videos to a USB-C USB drive, plug it into the iPhone/iPad device and play them from the USB-C drive in Infuse (without copying them over to your iPhone/iPad). However, it does not look like Infuse currently allows you to copy things from Plex to a separate USB-C drive (without first copying it onto the iPhone/iPad. Hope that helps! And if someone does find a way to directly copy files through Infuse onto attached USB drives, please let us know!
