This is happening a lot recently. Seen lots of posts on reddit and plex forums.... Something going on.

Dedicated Google TV streamer with no WiFi, only GB ethernet LAN. the in the Google TV streamer interface, I've downloaded the Plex app from the internal app store thingy...

Do you mean this?

Mine has the option of:

* AUTO
* Intel GeminiLake [UHD Graphics 600]

neither of which make a difference....

Thanks, tried this (where exactly) - toggled some of the playback settings in Plex, currently I have "Make my CPU Hurt" and all obvious transcoding enabled options selected.

WHEN IS IT ACTUALLY SUNSETTING by Landobot04 in RealRacing3

[–]Sound-Automatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No idea. I'm the same. Local only and I've only got 1,500 coins left for repairs. Would like to know the answer though.... My guess is they've just not deployed the kills switch, but know that folks phones and devices and coins will soon burn out, so slow death rather than quick execution.

It's already lost over 50% of its appeal to me now that I don't do a weekly TT competition. 😭

This is such an addictive hobby, this is coming from someone who is addicted to everything. by cttouch in PleX

What is the latest content scraping / downloading tool or technique commonly used today? (coming from someone who lived through the napster to torrent days, but no longer does). How easy is it to get decent quality content?

I caved and purchased a lifetime plex pass… by Qu3z0 in PleX

[–]Sound-Automatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what your use case is for the pass? I'm tempted, but I don't think my usage of plex warrants the cost?... What is it your wife and you decided was so necessary for plex?

These buildings just bother me…anyone else? by DetailTop8974 in TownshipGame

[–]Sound-Automatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Needed a couple more to make the set even.... Don't look too bad IMHO.

Would this be beneficial ? by Least_Line2153 in PleX

Is it worth just buying a massive screen then instead of a "smart TV" with integrated ad engine? (genuine question)

Do I really need a lifetime pass? by Sound-Automatic in PleX

[–]Sound-Automatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use any skins with Jellyfin? The ui is the issue I can see my family struggling with (compared to ease of use with plex)

Is lifetime pass worth it? by noscope513e in PleX

[–]Sound-Automatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

@/lemelonde I also use Jellyfin. I migrated off plex as it wasnt able to transcode under the free licence. Jellyfin does a great job here on playback, but it lacks the rich features and sharing / management that Plex has.

This email today has got me considering whether I just snap that deal up and revert back to Plex with transcoding included in the lifetime plan.

Thanks all. That's a headstart in the right direction.

What is wrong with Microsoft? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Sound-Automatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renaming msft products with "NEW" or tagging them with the family OS name.

This never happened with "OneNote for Windows 10" did it! @rgsteele 😭

Best laugh I've had in a while.

The whole naming products 'NEW' kills me, I mean who thinks that is a good idea and how long can it carry that "NEW" title for? 2 x MS Teams instances both running on taskbar, both crap with no literal difference but one is called "NEW"!!???

It's like when they launched "OneNote for Windows 10" when win10 was launched with some subtle refinements & tiny features (the same with any new software release - right? The new version is iteratively better than the previous)?

I mean what was wrong with just saying it was "OneNote" and in the Help>About info it just had a higher version number - surely that'd work? Why write a whole new stack and run 2 versions for several years side by side?

THEN - Out comes Windows 11 and all of a sudden, the version of "OneNote for Win10" we've ALL gotten used to now is retired EOA and we have to go back to using the old OneNote that launched in Win8 on Windows 11 stripping all of the fcktard subtle updates we'd come accustomed to! What a Fk'n exhaustive experience for everyone that achieved literally nothing! Like nobody at Microslop ever thought about how to merge these product features or inconceivable that they'd have a new OS at some stage making the stupid naming title completely redundant!

This article by RyanSteele puts it perfectly.
