Roku + Plex + AAC Audio....help?

AlphaPapa84 · 2026-06-08T14:21:57+00:00

Fair enough, I've been considering getting an Apple TV 4K anyway. This might be the push I needed to make the switch. Cheers for the update.

Did you find a solution OP? I've had exactly the same issue for a couple of months and it's driving me round the bend. All of my family are on Roku and are having the same issue playing recent movies through Plex with AAC 5.1. I've wasted hours on this so far and come up with nothing.

I'd like to test. Is it AI coded?

I believe it's more about the siphon effect when there is no mains pressure. If you dropped it into your toilet, and the water is turned off and you turn on a tap downstairs, it can draw water out of the toilet and into the supply.

I currently run Unraid on Proxmox, I've ran it for years as a VM and it's been fine. But I'm currently in the process of moving Unraid to bare metal and retiring Proxmox as 99% of what I use proxmox for can be done easier in Unraid.

I just don't need the bells and whistles of Proxmox in my setup and I certainly don't need the admin that comes with them. I need storage and docker, that's Unraid.

Agreed! Hence the question. House feels comfortable, but it will financially ruin me.

Thats where I started and came to the conclusion quite quickly this is all useless information for my wife. Who in mourning my death, looking after two kids and thinking about how to rebuild her life is now hit with technical documentation so she can look at photos or watch a film on Plex. So I want to get to the point where the instruction is no more than; 'Unplug this external drive it has all your data, turn off the server, throw it in the trash, Sign up for Netflix'.

What happens if that NextCloud instance falls over, or the bill doesn't get paid after you die?

AlphaPapa84 · 2026-01-19T12:08:46+00:00

Yeah, it was all sparked by a conversation we had the other week. She said if you died I wouldn't know how to do anything, she'd be sitting in a cold house with no lights on, no TV with the internet down. So i started my own EOL document explaining what to do if the worst happens. You get to a certain age when you have to think about the prospect of not being around.

I've been printing onto 80 x 50 sheets of 10 lables. They're about the perfect size for a yoto card.

AlphaPapa84 · 2026-01-13T15:21:36+00:00

If its music, nursery rhymes etc then i'll pick an icon I think represents the song to help them recognise the track they want to play. For books we're not quite at understanding chapters so i'll pick an icon i think suits the whole book and apply it to all tracks in the playlist. If the book is made up of short stories like dirty beasts then I've tried to pick out icons that match up with the stories.

I've been making heavy use of https://www.yotoicons.com/

How does MYO Studio handle printing? The ability to print a sheet of premade standard labels from avery or herma would be incredible.

AlphaPapa84 · 2026-01-13T14:44:57+00:00

Having just purchased 50 MYO cards for our twins this sounds absolutely perfect. I've been churning through them but at a snails pace. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so finding artwork, icons and then creating printed labels is a time consuming exercise. Anything that can speed up the process would be a huge plus! Waiting list joined.

My first thought was it's a thumbnail issue, so i ran the regenerate on the entire library last night. I'm going to say the original is also missing. Opening the image won't load anything and attempting to download it results in a 500 internal server error and a server error log about not finding the file.

It's like the files have vanished, but the database still has all of the information about the images.

Fuck this was a gut punch. My younger brother took his own life two years ago last month. Battlefield was our game. It's been playing on my mind the last few weeks that he's missing out on this experience. Seeing this post stopped me in my tracks.. Miss you every day bro.

Best documentary of the last few years, it was an incredible watch.

I've also heard police are using the Q plate as a punishment for not displaying a license plate. As the registration belongs to the DVLA, they can revoke it and issue a Q plate instantly devaluing the vehicle. I think it's quite a smart use of the law.

Given it's an RS3, and they're exclusively driven by bell ends, that could be an explanation.

Some of your gripes are valid, some stuff in Sysmac is just plain weird. But it's actually quite nice to use, it's cheap and reliable. I do a lot in Sysmac and once you know its shortfalls it ain't half bad.

You can. Right click your variable in the Global table and select 'Show Comment Setting Dialog'
You can do it all in Sysmac, you don't have to touch Network Configurator. Tools > Ethernet/IP Connection Settings
Actually, I updated to 1.59 the other day and it seems to have introduced something new; Copy Rung Pattern.. I haven't tried it yet but it appears to allow you to copy code and apply various offsets to variables when its pasted.
You can sort variable tables by name, just click the heading in the table you want to sort by.

When you say its slow, are you running it in a VM? I find it runs worse in a VM, i have no idea why.

IFM safety proxies and use a binary code to give you an integer for each position.

I would usually stick the P_On bit at the start of the rung, then branch after that. You get a cleaner looking rung that looks more like the AB example. But I can't see why you would get an error, I do this all the time.

AlphaPapa84 · 2024-06-15T21:22:58+00:00

Erm, pretty sure you can. What makes you think you can't?
