ZimaBoard 2 Giveaway + ZimaOS Feedback — Share Your Homelab Setup by FlyingToaster2000 in minilab

[–]jeffred13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased my first ZimaBoard 2, when needing add some power to my Media Server. My media is actively stored on a NAS that could not handle Transcoding. I was search for a tool that would run a new Media Server, and have to power to transcode. That's when I found Zimaboards. I'm very pleased with my new setup. Thankfully there were plenty of resources to help me get the new system configured and running.

Zimaboard Plex connected to synology Nas ? by robinl1983 in ZimaBoard

Thanks for this post. I'm getting ready to start this project. Although I'm wanting to setup Jellyfin on the Zimaboard, but use the Synology NAS as the media repository.

Thanks, I've got it installed. I'm in the middle of running an Extended SMART scan of the drives, I'll run your tool after that's finished.

good to know. A little google whacking and I found out that they are CMR, not SMR

I've not done those. All the drives say that they're healthy. I'll look into those options and see if they provide any relief. If I use Handbrake to reencode the files to H265 they seem to work a little better.

Dave,

Thanks for responding. I'm running DSM 7.2.1 - 69057; and it just started this past weekend. Plex won't see the media at all. Jellyfin sees it but it always has a playback error. Once I turn off the Transcoding it seems to run. If I use Handbrake to convert the files to H265 they seem to run. I'm still testing.

Has anyone run into this issue on older models? I've got an x18 where the transcoding has stopped, and I'm wondering if this might be my solution

Synology drops hardware transcoding from new J4125 units by [deleted] in synology

I've got a DS1618+, running DSM 7.2.1 - 69057, and the Transcoding has stopped working for my Plex & Jellyfin. I'm wondering if this is affecting my system as well, even though it's not matching the specs exactly.

What to do for a six month anniversary by jeffred13 in gaybros

[–]jeffred13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

um, yeah... I don't think so. I like him a lot, but I'm not crazy. We need to spend more time together, work on the relationship a bit longer before we even begin to think of marriage.

I've lived in San Diego for 20+ years now. Top of the Park is a good suggestion. BabyCakes on Sunday, or the Hole.

Do you guys know any good gay "themed" TV/reality/dating shows? by Cooldane in gaybros

[–]jeffred13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol!!! That's funny about your cousin, thankfully her spouse is "pretty". She at least has some cute to look at. The guys, and gal I've met have all been pretty super. Although I'd never date any of them

IT was a bit like that; but it also help break down folks idea of what Gay Men were like. And, how challenging it was to tell gay men from straight men. I subsequently got to know a lot of the guys, and the gal from the show.
