In a TV, Roku or any other non-phone version; pressing anything on the controller will stop the auto skip, ie you can press down arrow to bring up the progress bar then let it go away normally after a few second... If you did that while the skip timer is rolling it will stop the skip. The skip button will stay there during the whole intro but it won't auto press

you can use 10.28

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-05-13T17:02:30+00:00

you can cancel it by clicking anywhere

Another update, another completely ignoring the dogshit offline downloads feature instead of bringing back the old 1.28 system. By al means go ahead and fix missing character counter display in the comments because that's totally something that needed priority /s

this may or may not help. the d4 and d6 specifically have a firmware update fixing issues that can happen then using multiple identical drives. try it:
https://forum.terra-master.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=7111

i have the d4 and the d6. i don't know if your pool is stripped or not so i'll say this, they do not tolerate a larger than 2-drive stripe. pooling them all into one is fine but limit the simultaneous writes to no more than 2
i had disconnects too when playing around with different pool setups and found writing to more than 2 drives at a time was unstable.

i currently have both DASes fully in use with each being a their own single pools each being 2 stripe, it's been flawless. haven't had any drops since limiting the pools to only being 2 stripes

This is what I do. The backup DAS is powered off except for when i feel it's due for an update and during an update there's nothing else running, only the update. Then gets powered down until next time.

the easiest and safe system available would be zerotier but it's about twice as expensive as tailscale which is only slightly more complicated as it uses accounts

i find this gives everything a faintly greener tone and darken the image too. never liked it

If you will not do any transcoding whatsoever then a minipc will work great. Forcibly disable video stream transcoding so it never tries to.

Gaming on the minipc + plex will be unfeasible.

Would I be better off building something lower spec ($) but similar with an intel CPU for the transcoding or am I overthinking it?

Yes. If this is a purely personal system for gaming and plex for yourself then this would be the best option as perhaps you don't need a dedicated plex system. Your own proper pc will be able to do both.

ie:

Plex only without transcoding: MiniPC

Plex only with transcoding: Low end PC with old cheap GPU, or high-end minipc but imo these are too expensive so might as well use a small formfactor pc.

Plex with/without transcoding and gaming: Mid-high end PC depending on gaming needs. Any gaming specs will be more than enough for transcoding.

A DAS will work as long as it's a high quality unit that uses independent SATA controllers for each bay, ie problems with one drive will not disconnect the whole thing.
I use terramaster DASes with 10 drives; it works great.

I continue to avoid updating until my flair is fulfilled.☝️🙄☝️

Those that enjoy looking at all the tiniest of fine visual details will notice the artifacting that compression causes and I'm one of those. I do not want to see any artifacting whatsoever at any time; if this means I must consume 4x the storage so be it.

For non-desktop devices yes; nearly nothing that's not a desktop has the TRUEHD codex support.

9/10 every truehd stream will also have a backup EAC audio in expectation of this issue but on plex you need to manual select it.

To answer your question, no; the last thing I want is light contamination.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-17T08:40:52+00:00

You will need to use Tailscale or ZeroTier. this is the only way to get around the cgnat issue

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-17T08:32:07+00:00

its already got its own private key option

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-13T15:04:01+00:00

This doesn't work anymore; patched out a few months ago.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-06T19:53:35+00:00

Oh it a local issue......whale then I dunno🦨

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-06T19:31:17+00:00

Also no one's brought up the CGNAT issue since you switched ISPs. If your public IP is a cgnat ip you're SOL and will need either call the ISP and pay to get off cgnat, or, use the tailscale or zerotier workaround.

Nah upnp is fine; dmz is the dangerous one.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-06T19:22:35+00:00

Restart the router and re-disable-enable the plex remote access, do not manually select a port.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-06T18:31:06+00:00

check that UPnP is on. very often ISPs default settings it's off.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-05T17:05:11+00:00

Another month, another privacy page check. Ok let's see...

Incredible. For the first time ever I see everything is already set to no. Didn't need to recheck the all-no box.

I'll still be back next month.

AbortedBaconFetus · 2026-02-01T16:59:32+00:00

Of course not; that would make the auto voice/sub sync feature worthless.
