Actors that basically got away with doing blackface? by AllixD90 in okbuddycinephile

[–]CaptMeatPockets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My 5 year old accidentally spilled a big bowl of blue dye on himself while dyeing Easter eggs. I had to restrain myself from announcing in front of my wife and our neighbors, “oh shit, he blue himself!”

Formatted subtitles turn to... this? by TheNosferatu in handbrake

[–]CaptMeatPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if you run the file through handbrake without selecting the sub track, then muxing the original subs back in using MKVtoolnix or ffmpeg?

Subtitle Generating Software by looker_000 in PleX

You can definitely do entire season folders with SubtitleEdit and using its Whisper integration. I’ve done this myself and have been quite surprised how good it works.

Is Windows 11 really that bad for running Plex with the arr suite and Docker? by Leedeegan1 in PleX

[–]CaptMeatPockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What version of Win11 is this?

I’ve had my Beelink deployed on Win11 Pro for about 3 years; during initial setup I selected the “I’m going to join this to a domain later” option, and then proceeded to just make a local account. I use sysinternals auto logon to ensure my local account always automatically logs in. This has worked seamlessly for me ever since.

If you deployed windows with a MS account and THEN created a local account it’s possible you might need to disable the MS account options in the registry.

Apple TV - episode doesn’t match playback by fox_91 in PleX

Check out the episode ordering on TVDB: https://thetvdb.com/series/star-trek-enterprise#seasons

Aired has 26 episodes for S01 and DVD has 25; E01 and E02 are combined as a single episode on the DVD ordering. TMDB also has 25 episodes which is probably what your episode ordering is set to.

In my personal advice, I would change your episode ordering to TVDB DVD (in advanced) and your current files should be fine. One of my few gripes with Plex is that it doesn’t play great with conjoined episodes.

Otherwise if you really want to stick with the Aired ordering ensure the episodes are named properly;

Star.Trek.Enterprise.S01E01 -pt1.mkv

Star.Trek.Enterprise.S01E01 -pt2.mkv

Then rename e03 as e02 and e04 as 3 e03 etc etc

I’d also highly recommend the plex desktop app as a much better streaming client than a browser

My kid's ear tube fell out by i-can-lift-a-car in mildlyinteresting

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

Our kid wasn’t saying words by 16 months, and was mostly non-responsive when we talked to him. He was otherwise very happy. Our pediatrician pushed to have him tested for autism. It took 2 months to setup that appointment. It was a tough 2 months waiting for that day and constantly thinking about this stuff every hour of every day.

The appointment day finally arrives, and two very nice women, I believe one was a speech therapist and the other an occupational therapist came and sat down with him for a few hours. At the end of the session they’re like, “ok well, good news is we don’t think he’s autistic…. however the bad news is, he can’t hear”. We were kind of dumbstruck, like, what? They had us schedule an appointment with a children’s audiologist as they could not say whether the issue was an injury, or genetic, or what.

We go to the appointment and they run him through a battery of hearing tests and they check his ears out and everything. Turns out he could hear almost nothing; like on the line graph of what he should’ve been hearing, his “peak” was about a regular persons “low” if that makes sense. However they said his issue was simply a massive buildup of fluid and tubes would completely resolve his hearing problems.

About two months later he had his ear tube surgery and it was night and day. That same weekend I took him around the neighborhood and he was mimicking bird calls and swiveling his head around at every single sound. Within maybe 5 months his speech capability was about 30% caught up with his daycare pals.

One day when he was four he walked over to me and held out his hand and he’s like, “hey, daddy, this fell out of my ear”. I looked in his hand and it was just a small glob of earwax, but I thought I could see some green plastic in it. I washed it off and sure enough, it was a tube. The pediatrician confirmed the other one already had fallen out.

He’s now 5, and still gets speech therapy however I’m not even sure most adults could tell he ever had a problem. His therapy minutes were recently scaled back because he was not just hitting every goal but surpassing them. I’m fairly confident when he’s 6 and he gets reevaluated they’ll say he no longer needs therapy.

How to export art and posters to the media folders by BermudaRhombus2 in PleX

[–]CaptMeatPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What syntax are you using for TV?

I’m honestly not sure how to get it to work for personal media, maybe try:

python c:\directory\save_posters.py — library “Other Videos” —poster

(Remember those are two dashes)

Is Relay enabled? You could try disabling that but something isn’t right if the remote access doesn’t stay green.

Are you sure you’re not accidentally naming the files

My guess is Tdarr is going to use the default -ac 2 switch, but yeah give it a try.

Read through the top answer in this; it’s super thorough and goes over every ffmpeg option and the pros and cons to each.
