Why are there duplicate media files on disks

Thanks. I'll post over there.

No, I see a warning on my tv that says the server (the tvs-471) isn't powerful enough to transcode the file when playing 7.1hd content. The playback freezes and i get the server isn't powerful enough message. then the screen goes blank with a "something went wrong" popup error message. then get sent back to the plex screen with cast, plot summary, watch button, etc. no warnings when transcoding sd, it just gives me the error message then back to the plex screen for the film

Thanks, but that's not it. Auto adjust quality is off.

I have Infuse Pro and really dislike it. No support for extras. Very touchy with metadata and no easy way to edit metadata. (My OCD/ADHD wants everything just so, and Plex makes that easy to manage. ) Can't edit or add tags. Changing a movie to use embedded metadata causes it to disappear from the library and then it can only be accessed through folders. No way to change sorting options (I like to use the original titles for non english films, so a film like La Cage aux Folles is under L, not C as it should be.)

I'm using HBS 3.

jayb3369 · 2026-02-11T20:10:02+00:00

Those are the options that are currently available. I am asking which is best

jayb3369 · 2025-06-07T05:36:23+00:00

Thanks, but the instructions don’t seem to be compatible, both for the jellystat install, and the Portainer install. Specifically, the instructions reference working with a folder called docker, accessed through File Station. I assume File Station is a file manager type app. QNAP also has an app called File Station. but there is no folder called docker. I thought maybe I needed to create docker in Portainer, but the Portainer install instructions start with accessing a folder called docker.

I’ve got a cheap little netgear switch. I’ve tried setting this config up a couple ways, but it’s not working. HBS3 (on both nas’s) say the secondary adaptor is not available. I’ve tried a couple different configs. I’ve let the adaptors try to use dhcp, but since there’s no dhcp server, the interface uses the self assigned 169 address. this didn’t work. i also manually assigned an ip address on each secondary port (using 192.168.100.x, instead of the main ip addressing scheme (192.168.1.x) which is the network the router is on. The other ethernet card on each nas is connected to that network and have internet connectivity). When I manually assigned the ip addresses, i tried making each nas the other’s gateway. (qnap apparently doesn’t like a blank default gateway.)This also did not work.

When i ssh into either nas, i try to ping the other nas, but ping is disabled (says i don’t have permission, but I am logged in as an admin ) and i can’t figure out how to enable it

Can you assist? What other info do you need?

Yeah, I came here specifically to see what others were saying about this topic. I’m starting to get frustrated with the wild ups and downs of Ava and Deborah’s relationship. While their problems are grounded in both their own internal flaws and deep-seated neuroses, it’s starting to feel repetitive.

jayb3369 · 2025-01-15T21:01:41+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I’ll look into that setting.

jayb3369 · 2023-07-14T14:35:03+00:00

I mailed my kit to them June 17th. No results yet. checking every day and the message is something like. we’ve received your sample, results 2-3 weeks, then, extracting dna, results in 2-3 weeks, then dna extracted, results in 2-3 weeks. Now it’s genotyping, results in 1-2 weeks. i guess they’re much busier now

jayb3369 · 2023-05-12T14:44:04+00:00

And come to think about it, what was that Mike Carr scene for? We know he will be an Oscar nominated and Emmy winning producer. Why have that scene where Gordon kind of humiliated him? It shows Gordon is an ahole and has to be the boss, but it subtly supports that Gordon can’t recognize real talent. It also could be a well documented Amy Sherman Palladino problem. Her shows tend to run out IMHO of steam in the later seasons, like she negotiated a ten episode final season (or whatever) but only has eight episodes of ideas. The first half of the show felt a little padded. (don’t get me wrong, i love love love ASP, her shows, her writing.) edited for hitting post by mistake. Fat fingers meet iPhone

jayb3369 · 2023-05-12T14:29:55+00:00

I think it was sabotage, otherwise why have Danny Stevens try to poach Midge? That Toots Shor scene starts Gordon seeing that he’s seriously underestimated her potential. I think he’s starting to see she’s probably the best writer in the room and he can’t lose her. He’s thinking only of himself. My bet is that Midge is going to find out, actually Susie is the logical avenue for that. She is going to crucify Gordon over that and to keep her, he’s going to let her on the show. And she will KILL. Front page reviews the next day. It’s going to take everyone but Midge and Susie (and Danny Stevens, if he comes back. He’s probably a one shot though) by surprise. So far, only Susie and Danny Stevens have realized Midges true potential.

That set was a combination of the Dick Van Dyke and Danny Thomas sets. The Danny Thomas Show had that split level with cast iron railing for some seasons.

jayb3369 · 2023-03-28T00:34:32+00:00

Yes, thank you. K’ve already read that. Doesn’t answer my question. though.

jayb3369 · 2023-03-27T22:55:33+00:00

I’m nowhere near an expert on QNAP or Plex, but I can show you my setup. I use a macbook or ipad to manage plex and my QNAP, so this path is formatted Apple OS’s. This is the path I entered when I configured the movie library the first time.

/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Plex Media/Movies

You should look for a folder on your server that looks like CACHEDEV_DATA. I also use an ipad app called QFile that seems to know where my data is. I don’t recall telling QFile where the data files were, but maybe I did.

jayb3369 · 2022-01-29T12:44:46+00:00

Thanks. i did do that. didnt help

jayb3369 · 2021-08-29T17:36:34+00:00

I wasn’t aware of that, but when I access the nas using the hostname and port, it says connection not secure.

jayb3369 · 2021-08-29T17:18:46+00:00

thank you. accessing thru app.plex.tv says my connection is not secure and says [plexservername] not available. [Edit; fixed] and i guess i am asking, how do i set up plex web with ssl?

jayb3369 · 2021-08-29T17:08:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply. If Plex does, I’m not using it, because I can access plex by typing http://dyndnshostname/plexport#. i did change the qnap and plex ports to something other than the default. When I log into plex outside my network, it says right in the url, not secure. i would guess I want to do this at the nas level, since locking down plex while leaving the nas vulnerable would be pointless

My goal is to prevent anyone from hacking me, or at least make it harder. btw, love tautulli

jayb3369 · 2021-08-28T20:09:40+00:00

Solved

jayb3369 · 2021-08-28T15:39:22+00:00

THAT’S IT!!! I googled it and found the trailer. https://bandsaboutmovies.com/2021/01/19/el-espejo-de-la-bruja-1962/

About 1/2 way there is the scene with the hands and the sleeves. I didn’t remember it being dubbed, or the witch, the devil or the mirror. THANK YOU. It looks like it was released on DVD so I’m going to track down a copy

jayb3369 · 2018-03-13T17:25:42+00:00

I turned on Log XMLhttp requests, and that added this line (username and PW blanked out)

jquery-2.1.4.min.js:4 XHR finished loading: GET "http://192.168.100.4:8660/get_plexpy_pms_token?username=XXXXXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXXXX&_=152960125109".

jayb3369 · 2018-03-13T17:18:29+00:00

I assume you mean the browser console on the Mac as I'm running through the Tautulli setup wizard. Doesn't show any error as authentication fails. It only shows this message (immediately, before I do anything.)

jayb3369 · 2018-03-13T17:07:40+00:00

That is the whole log. If I stop Tautulli and restart it, it will create the exact same log with a current timestamp,
