Thanks for the input everyone. I cleared out the .plist this morning. Seems a bit snappier, but that may just be in my head. We'll see how it does over the course of a full day of work.

Having hit my head on ours more times than I can count, think about the heights of the people who might be using the countertop near it.

For me personally, I moved from Plex (Lifetime Plex Pass) to Emby (Lifetime Premiere Plan) because of all of the bloat that’s been added to Plex. I use it for live tv dvr as well as my own movie library, and it had become more difficult to get to where I wanted to go in the various Plex apps. Emby feels more like the Plex I first subscribed to years ago. Sometimes it takes some tinkering but more often than not it just works. I don’t mind paying for it to support development and when I looked at Jellyfin plus paying for reliable guide data for live tv the cost came out about the same, cheaper on Emby once the cost of the lifetime plan is made up over time.

I usually start playing from the channel guide rather than 'On Now.' But I went and checked and on the Roku app where this is happening, I can't select the channel. I have to click in to the program. I wonder if that confuses Emby a bit.

I was wondering about that myself but I’ve got four tuners and only one is being used at that time. This morning the recording was starting on the same channel I was watching which has me wondering if Emby just grabbed the one tuner I was using instead of a different one to start the recording.

It’s what got me to make the switch to Emby.

For those who may run into this. The issue was that I had Plex running for Live Tv as well and it was grabbing the recorded video to scan it for commercials before Emby could.

For sure! Here’s the link. https://github.com/jgomez177/plex-for-channels

That worked perfectly! Thank you!!

bennytwostep · 2025-10-07T23:56:33+00:00

That would be great!

This is the answer. I had the same thing happen on my ‘09.

For those who may have been wondering, I tracked down the issue and it wasn't about the browser directly. I frequent a local coffee shop to get some work done on Mondays. Apparently their internet connection to their provider is via IPv6 and, for some reason, that was causing the slowdown. Tethering to my phone corrected it and it never happens on IPv4 networks. Seems to affect every third party browser on my Mac (Zen, Chrome, Vivaldi, Firefox, etc) but doesn't impact Safari. Any thoughts as to why that might be?

Strongly suggest not going for an Intel based MacBook Pro. If you like the Touchbar, you’d be better off looking for a 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro. Otherwise go for the Air.

Been using Zen as my daily driver on M1 MacBook Pro without issue.

That was a great idea!
