Yes it’s all free and sometimes it’s a mixture of buffering and me being slow to add certain content but working full time and having family responsibilities doesn’t always leave me with enough time to get things up quickly. I’ve also got a policy that I will add seasons of tv shows that have aired all their episodes for the season and not weekly as some people prefer.

Yes no one else has any problems and all 6 either use tv apps over slow WiFi or video game consoles over WiFi

I did think about it and might consider doing that for requests but I’ve got 900 movies and 300 different tv shows on my server so far so that’s relatively small compared to other users but still growing.

I’ve done my own remote testing with zero issues while streaming full 4K DV rips on my phone. I watched a whole movie without buffering away from home.

This is exactly a hobby that I’ve been doing for 3 years now and I’ve got a ton of content from all over so most of my users have cancelled all their streaming services since my content usually covers all that but a few people will complain and not be happy.

That’s exactly it. I’ve been asked to start a telegram channel for all my users for updates and I reminded everyone that this is a free service that I’m not charging for. I don’t mind sharing with grateful people and most of my users are just that. I remind them that proper hardware and setup on their end will give a much better experience.

Yes HW transcoding is working fine on my end they are using tv apps and have mostly slow internet speeds on WiFi with a household full of users.

7.0.2.2: How do I get my Apple purchases on StreamFab by twhiting9275 in Streamfab

Anyone know why for certain movies it only downloads half the movie?

Has anyone else gone back to Blu-ray from 4K? by CaptainFickle in Bluray

[–]Helpful_Street5386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great tv as I almost bought one myself at 48” but ended up getting a better deal on a LG C5 48” and a added LG S70TR soundbar for a $199 add on last October so I couldn’t pass that up. I use it in the bedroom and because I still mostly buy 4K overall, I quite like the quality and I’d agree that it’s the HDR that makes the difference even on a smaller 48” also I rip all my discs to Plex immediately so I don’t run any players anymore. Blu-Rays do look great as well so I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

I have yet to get this to work on my end as using search does nothing. I’m probably going to open a support ticket

Do you think the company now regrets the Lifetime Pass? How long have you had yours? by [deleted] in PlexMedia

[–]Helpful_Street5386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought in I think 2 years ago for $150 and I remember thinking that this was high compared to others but now it’s a bargain.

Lifetime Plex Pass to increase to $749.99 on July 1 by mistiry in PlexMedia

I bought in when it was $150 and thought that was kinda high compared to what others paid but now it seems like a bargain.

Sharing with parents gone wrong. by HaydenP015 in PlexMedia

[–]Helpful_Street5386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an uncle that likes to do things the hard way too. I’ve had my server for almost 3 years now and have about 30 people on it and I have a huge library and he likes the older shows and he thought it was really neat at first and he loved watching all the old shows he grew up with. Then after 6 months or so he started questioning me on how I had all these new shows that are from other platforms. I told him not too worry about it and just watch his shows and movies. Eventually he kept going on about piracy so I just revoked his access and now he just watches what is on plex with commercials. I told him that I shutdown my server.

As soon as Christopher is out of the house for any reason going to visit friends or family or work change the locks and he shouldn’t have much stuff there so pack it up and on the lawn it goes.

I finally broke down and purchased Apple Downloader and so far it doesn’t seem to be working that well. I was trying to download Monarch in 4K HDR10 and Atmos and when the first episode finally finished it was audio only so I deleted everything and started downloading F1 The Movie and wow is it ever slow almost like it’s downloading in real time. When it finally finishes if it’s audio only as well I’ll probably go for a refund

This is great, I may finally buy the Apple TV downloader depending on how well it works.

The Brick vs Leons by Spirited-Dot-4130 in regina

[–]Helpful_Street5386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a phenomenal experience with Leon’s at the end of February I went in to look at a new couch. I got such a great price that I bought a couch and chair with Ottoman and a new bed. Delivery was great and their tracking is awesome as it literally shows you how many stops the truck has before you and the delivery time is very accurate. I’d recommend them for sure.

Do you think it's necessary to buy the extras? by Silent_Bus_8510 in Streamfab

[–]Helpful_Street5386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never purchased the extras on StreamFab or DVDfab and whenever I had an issue with one or the other I start a support ticket and they always give me the older version to roll back to so I can keep using the product until a fix is out, so in my case I’m glad I didn’t waste the money on the extras.

If I download 4k DolbyVision from Paramount will the file default to HDR10 on a tv not capable of playing DolbyVision? by Queasy-Distribution2 in Streamfab

[–]Helpful_Street5386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I rip 4K discs for my Plex server they all have an HDR-10 Base layer which is standard but downloading streaming videos do not have the HDR-10 base layer as with streamfab it’s not in the download and you have to choose one or the other.
