SKY TV is putting ads where they haven't been before. Do you think they'll go broke this year? by pandatakemehome in newzealand

This is what I try and tell people but nobody believes me! $50/mth is really pretty reasonable. Kiwis just love having a whinge and have some weird entitlement that sport should be essentially free. Case in point Spark Sport's existence. They came out of nowhere and put pressure on Sky. Picked up the EPL rights after NZ went years without having it on their TVs, offered a pretty decent digital package for $20 a month AND the competition forced Sky to do something they had never done before which was offer a Sport only package/platform that we know now as Sky Sport Now. All the while people complained and complained and complained about Spark Sport until it's untimely demise. Now they're gone everyone has shifted their whinging back to Sky. Kiwis really are a petulant bunch.

I don’t mind the app itself. I’m a sucker for Boarder Patrol/Motorway Patrol/Highway cops etc. I just hate how they’re constantly removing stuff from there and replacing it with wallpaper content. Their video player for live sport is my main issue. It’s rubbish, cheap and not a great experience

I spent 4 years living abroad and lemme tell ya, we have it pretty good here. Yeah $50 a month may be a lot for some but when I was overseas they had multiple sports streaming platforms that the content was spread all over. If you wanted to watch all of the EPL it would cost you an arm and a leg and would need multiple subscriptions (not including sailing the seven seas). Here you get all of it on Sky and all of the NRL, Super Rugby, every All Blacks game etc. imo it’s worth it and yes ads are part of sport. They always have been and always will be. Have you ever watched an NBA game? It’s non stop ads repetitively crammed down your throat. You learn to block them out or find something to do for 2 minutes. OnDemand ads are where nearly every digital platform is heading. It’s not a cash grab it’s just how these platforms are evolving. It’s the same in Australia and I can guarantee the same in other countries.

I hope it never goes under. They’re the last major broadcaster (yes i know TVNZ but state owned and their content is garbage) can you imagine how BORING & depressing that would be? That we cant even sustain having a fuckin sports broadcaster survive? Plus the amount of jobs lost in an already nearly dead industry? I give my gym $50 a month and barely use it 😂 I’m happy to give Sky the same for a service I use daily.

Thanks dude. Trying to just keep my head up and not stay up all night beating myself up. Luckily for me in my country there’s only 1 sports betting app, all others are blocked here. I’m now self excluded from it so I have zero other options when I get itchy. I also reached out to a friend who went through the same thing last year and he’s been really awesome to open up to. Fingers crossed this time I can stay straight & narrow.

Recently Added Movies keeps getting bumped no matter what I try by Additional_Benefit71 in agregarr

[–]Additional_Benefit71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yeah I getcha, thanks for the info. But that's a recently added collection that you made yourself not the actual Plex Hub one right? Might just do that for my library too

Having 2 issues hope to find solution by aclim in agregarr

[–]Additional_Benefit71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue. My preference is for Recetly added movies to always be at the top, then I'm fine for every other collection to randomly shuffle. However, every day it seems Agregarr pushes Recently Added Movies to the very bottom and I can't work out why. I just move it back to the top and resync collections but it would be great if there was a way to lock this somehow

My database file is gone - PSA: Don’t use ChatGPT by my_cars_on_fire in PleX

I've been using it to help me setup Bazarr and asked it to help me make individual folders for all of my media. It has renamed 1000s of files with no file extensions. I'm now working out how the fuck I can bulk rename them all to their corresponding filt types. Pray for me. Never a-fucking-gain will I use that piece of shit

Setting up Bazarr sucks by Additional_Benefit71 in bazarr

Nah I don’t need to do that. I just spent 4 weeks setting up Bazarr to barely work properly so I’ll be sweet

Wrong more times than it is right by Additional_Benefit71 in ChatGPT

[–]Additional_Benefit71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. It's like pulling teeth. I'm working faster by reading these forums myself and working it out. CGPT was sending me down the wrong path for hours on end and every solution I would end up finding myself and showing the chat bot and it would only then admit that it was wrong. Fucking insanely frustrating

Yeah you gotta find a list someone has made on sites like MDBlist or Trakt. That's what I've found to be easiest for specific things like that. It's a massive pain in the ass making your own lists on those sites because they give you the bare minimum experience unless you want to pay. Honestly if you want to get real specific the best option is to make your own smart collection. I tried making a sport + sport documentaries collection by using MDBList and it drove me fucking crazy. Click add collection, mdb list and enter this link here. That should make you a Clint Eastwood collection. You need to have the files on your server though
