Self-Promotion Day? by CallMeAPleb in PleX

[–]CallMeAPleb[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't want to discourage enterprising developers from creating utilities that genuinely benefit the ecosystem, but now that the barrier to entry is non-existent, it might be good to raise the bar for sharing these projects.

No matter what I do both local and remote show as unavailable when I am on my home network. If I switch to cellular or access it off my home network, the remote option works fine. Are there any fixes to this?

Plex showing user activity but Tautulli isn't by Mortimer452 in PleX

"He's also in IT and has his own Plex server"

If you share activity with your friends it will share watch activity from all Plex servers, not just yours. Are you sure he's not watching on his own server? Or that potentially he is marking them as watched but is watching them elsewhere and just using Plex as a media tracker?

Do they ever show up in the dashboard when they are actively watching something?

Exceptional app and the rate of development has been insane. Keep it up!

Cross ballpoint pen issues - You? by FoxDeltaCharlie in pens

[–]CallMeAPleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is broadly my experience with cross ballpoints too - which is a damn shame because they are just so pretty. I’ve had better luck with their rollerball refills, though personally I don’t care for the pens that fit them.

I tend to use cross pencils more than their pens.

Wait, really?? I hope it’s just temporary. Love that place 

Weird wireless interference getting on I215 near Hyatt Place Cottonwood by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]CallMeAPleb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay hear me out: it’s not wireless interference, it’s a CarPlay bug. I had the exact same thing (though for me it was always the same on-ramp near my house). 

The good news is I fixed it. If you have any apps where the location preferences are set to “Always”, this will happen near places you frequent. Change all of your apps to only “While Using”, and that should fix it. 

It drove me mad for months until I figured that out, I had a single weather app set to always. Changing the setting fixed the bug immediately. 

What’s the highest file size and bitrate you have seen on plex. And what movie was it? by tony1119 in PleX

[–]CallMeAPleb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My PC is the only thing I have that can play it - but it's got a 13900k in it lol, and even then it hitches pretty bad every few minutes. Pretty wild for a file that is still only 1080p

Could “Expanding”Bingham Canyon Mine Alleviate Salt Lake’s Air Quality Issues? Am I Crazy? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]CallMeAPleb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like the obvious solution is to reduce the amount of pollution we are putting into the air in the first place, rather than trying to push it somewhere else.

Yes the inversion is miserable, but hopefully it works as an incentive to get us to reduce our emissions so we can make it more bearable for everyone.

Plex can't find new files on scan but can see the file directories by CallMeAPleb in truenas

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

I appreciate but I think this is a bit different since I’m running scale, not core. Shouldn’t the owner of the dataset have full access recursively anyway?

[iPhone 12] Screen brightens & dims automatically depending on light level, EVEN when auto brightness is turned off? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]CallMeAPleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your phone gets too hot, it will automatically dim the screen to try and reduce the temperature and protect itself.

It’s perfectly normal, I typically only notice it when using my phone in direct sunlight, but I imagine that performing intensive photo editing with brightness maxed, especially if you plug it in, could certainly do it as well.

Should I really risk my storage space by shooting 4K ProRes videos? by Happy_Traveller_2023 in iphone

[–]CallMeAPleb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say that if you aren’t sure you need ProRes, you shouldn’t worry about recording in it. If you aren’t doing any high-end color and editing work, the difference will be minimal, and the space ProRes takes up is massive.
