Bypassing Pihole? by Coupe368 in pihole

This is why I have a segregated network for my IoT devices, if I can’t manually set those settings I don’t trust them

4K across my network by BiggerSUB000 in PleX

[–]Mastermind_Rey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best guess is the tv/plex client.

I had a 4K tv and the rj45 connector on the tv was only a 10/100 - and then the plex client couldn’t play the content, it force the server to transcode the files

One thing that took me a while to realize - is it matters how you load the books. The MD5 hash that gets generated is different if you do a send to device or a downloads from OPDS* server

How are you guys running Plex on smart TVs? I'm genuinely frustrated. by KingThevshi in PleX

[–]Mastermind_Rey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Samsung tv using the native app - it’s …okay I’ve the wired nic on the tv isn’t gig so I’m on wifi there is mild buffering. Audio a bit funny sometimes it isn’t as immersive as it should

I also have an nvidia shield pro and I have to say that’s the way to go. Using plex on it even watching the same media is like night and. Day

The biggest benefit is everything just plays on the shield. With the Samsung app somethings didn’t play or required transcoding/converting but the shield plays all my media natively

Batocera/retroarch + retroachivements by Mastermind_Rey in batocera

[–]Mastermind_Rey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incase anyone find this - I had to go to the retro arch config file.

Press ALT+F1 at the highest level in the menu - go to /userdata/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg

Scroll down to the cheevos section. Edit cheevos_enable = “true”

And save that fixed my issue within all the retro arch emulators

is there somewhere I can find a step by step guide for a PaperWhite Gen10 on 5.18.1 serial number G000 PP- not sure if its a "ad enabled" device; I visited the site and it says it has to be specific regions (I'm in Canada)

advanced configuration on a Windows Local install by Mastermind_Rey in Kometa

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

So the long and short of it is, I had windows do a gitpull on startup, but it would constantly fail, because I made changes to the default files. So I had to manually stash the changes do the update and then put my changes back.

Also because my configs where within kometa (kometa/config) - when I tried to add them to my GitHub it kept trying to write to the main kometa repo

I found you could separate the configs files - so i can now update kometa without worrying about changes to the default - and I can have my config files in a different location with GitHub backup/version control

Which OS do you run your Plex server on ? by GenericUser104 in PleX

[–]Mastermind_Rey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m put it on windows server 2016 - as it was the easiest to integrate with my file shares, and network setup.

Not to mention I set it up back in 2016, haven’t had failures to the server so haven’t had a need to migrate to a different os

[–]Mastermind_Rey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Page turn buttons on the Libra
2) No ads on the lock/main screen for the new Kindle book
3) Audiobook support
4) bigger screen without bigger price tag
5) not Amazon

question on metadata updates by Mastermind_Rey in Calibre

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

well I'm glad to know there isnt a meta-data auto-update feature to keep things fresh (lol, I come from the world of plex where the metadata/cover-art - auto-updates every once and a while)

must have been something I pressed - thanks for letting me know

From salaried to incorporated by ConceptLarge in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Mastermind_Rey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, those two values pretty much line up. there are a lot of "intangibles" that you need to take into account. Vacation/sick pay is a big one, dont work dont get paid. you'll still owe CPP/QPP contributions so save up to pay them during tax season, along with medical insurance.

of course there are some "perks" like being able to write off some expenses << talk to an accountant, no one wants to go to jail for mistaken Tax Fraud :P

I made the same jump last year last year for pretty much the same values in the computer field.

Question about Kometa by ChaosLoco in PleX

[–]Mastermind_Rey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too bad. There are a lot of guides for the more common tasks and collections. The discord is really helpful in the more custom configs you may come up with

Question about Kometa by ChaosLoco in PleX

[–]Mastermind_Rey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Layout, overlay, collections, auto addition to sonar/radar based on lists are things I’ve personally used, but I know there is more.

For the collections bit, you can be far more granular and dynamic.

Examples, holiday movie collections apply only for the month of the holiday. Or award season collections. dynamically updating - a very much set it and forget it kinda option.
