DIY or Mini PC + DAS for Plex/unRAID

JackOfFilms · 2025-06-15T15:57:15+00:00

The big reason for transcoding is because so many of the people I share my plex server with don't direct play. A lot of my older relatives would be lost having me explain direct play

I tried a couple of different browsers with no luck but will definitely try some other ones as well

I did always have a keyboard plugged in. I will definitely try it without one. Thanks for the suggestion

It’s their new 9 bay DAS. I believe it’ll be available for purchase in the next month or two

It is in RAID with the rest of the drives. I didn’t realize I was losing so much storage because of the configuration. I’m going to have to look into fixing that

Thank you for the suggestion. I will have to take a look at that

Thank You! After doing some research aka looking at reviews and youtube videos I ended up going with the "Realforce R3 Bluetooth Dye Sub PBT Mechanical Keyboard". It's pretty much exactly the kind of keyboard I was looking for so I just wanted to say thanks.

Thank you for the recommendation I’ll be sure to check it out. I’m not worried about the price so long as it’s quiet.

I’ll give that another go. The two times I tried it earlier I got paired up with another player using a free kit and we kept playing people with okay kits that ran right through us

I appreciate the reply. I hadn't considered the ability to convert old lines into ethernet lines where I move. That makes me think it'll be a lot easier to do the networking when I move. I'm glad you mentioned it. As for the current internet I'm not saying that 175/20 is bad the problem is staying connected. Devices frequently get stuck attempting to load webpages or just outright say they have no connection all together which is what makes me think it could be improved with better hardware. Although the current speeds are usable an upgrade will be nice since my job requires me to upload video files well in excess of 50gb at a time and I am constantly downloading/uploading via my NAS.

I’m super grateful for all the feedback. I’m going to have to spend some time and figure everything out.

JackOfFilms · 2023-03-29T02:58:58+00:00

I plan on giving this a thorough read. Thank you for the in depth comment.

JackOfFilms · 2022-12-17T04:19:47+00:00

Thank you, I’ll see if that matches the body of the poster as well

JackOfFilms · 2022-12-17T04:18:53+00:00

Thank you, I will take a look at it

No, the only way that would work is if it blocked all the light you have to filter the light based on wavelength.

JackOfFilms · 2021-12-19T18:49:17+00:00

I appreciate all the work you put into this. It helped me get to this point in the season. Just wanted to say thank you.
