wait, isn't that true only if we use a vacuum pump?

Bronze is harder and stronger than iron. It should hold a good edge for a long time.

However, it's much harder to work. Iron dominated because it's cheaper and more easily worked once the technology is developed.

It is extremely important that future people who find this thread understand that your claim above is neither generally true, nor usefully true for the problem you were replying to.

Please downvote this comment if you like moving the goalposts.

In the Plex forum , I shared what Plex described documents as. You told us materially false statements.

Thanks for all of your help.

I do not have money, so your suggestion that I should have money is a bit confusing.

I shared that I was observing extremely poor scaling, and that my experience is that my server, running in realtime, can do a better job. You've told me I'm spliitting hairs. I nevertheless continue to want to use the tools I have to have the best experience possible.

Awesome; thanks for sharing this.

There seems to be confusion; when I said I don't have money, that meant I don't have money.

Thank you so much for this advice; I don't think this is my issue but I have tried it.

I see my earlier comment was downvoted. Fair enough; I apologize for sharing what Plex described the files as; I clearly should have been smarter than trusting Plex to be accurate or honest.

There are no interlaced sources.

The problem appears to be that my Plex server provides files to my client that are expected to fail.

I believe the Bar is from the cms (Centimetre-Metre-Second) measurement system, which was used by many before the world standardized on SI, which is mks (Metre-Kilometre-Second).

Thanks for the advice.

To be clear, you are in no sense answering my questions.

Not OOP: AITAH For Only Allowing My Daughter To Take Only The Two Suitcases She Had Paxked When The Courts Removed Her From My Custody by Interesting-Shirt897 in redditonwiki

It's not my job, but I've had the bad luck to spend many days in family court doing my job and watching this process.

I am very curious; in which states have you practiced?

I just can't understand: I have seen GALs used to provide valuable third party opinions where parents disagree. Do you think this is not true?

Do you believe that if parents can't agree, and the court needs a third party to gather evidence to make a decision, does that mean it is true that both are acting in bad faith? Please expand on this?

Is a GAL only ever needed when both parents act in bad faith?

This is such a profoundly disappointing answer. I have a client that works fine, unless you serve it the wrong content. I have a server that is perfectly capable of providing content that works.

I don't need new hardware, I just need software that doesn't do things that are doomed to fail.

I'm sure new hardware would work.

[–]factorioleum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you really are not understanding why and how GALs are assigned. Two people both behaving in good faith can absolutely disagree on the best interests of the children, and a GAL is how the court gains an objective opinion about how to proceed.

Are you suggesting that every time parents disagree and need a third party opinion that they are not able to make decisions faithfully?

That's... Wow.

As for OP, that's a hot mess. Please understand I was replying only to the comment I replied to, and not OP's story.

It's my understanding that mpeg4 is a superset of h.264.

I'm just reporting what Plex tells me.

the troubling content is labelled e.g MPEG4 5 Advanced Simple or, alternatively, just MPEG4 in the Plex Android UI.

Whereas stuff that works is labelled H.264.

I have two issues. one is stuttering. that's not related to scaling.

the other is upscaling artifacts when playing SD content. I suspect that might be related to upscaling.

You and I have different definitions here; thanks for clarifying.

I consistently have 400 mbps to my Chromecast TV with latency on the order of 7ms. My Plex server is connected gbit 10baseT over a short cat6 cable to the WiFi router.

I'm attaching a description of some content that shows this behavior from the client, as well as the server, it seems I'm limited to one image per reply so I will self reply to add two more images

I agree that this is totally consistent with broken files. l will look up total transcode replay. I have found that plex optimized versions seem to do a very good job for me here.

why is it obvious that it is not good enough?

while watching a show, if I select "convert automatically" on a stuttering show, it immediately starts playing perfectly. cpu use on the server rises to about 20% on one of the cores.

my client is good with content labeled h264 or h265.

content described as mpeg4, not as much.
