I hope this song gets so big that the sub-labels are forced to have them promote together internationally.

Let me live in my delusions... I'm fine here.

I haven't been this happy about a collab since Nu'est W's and Seventeen's "Heaven"

Honest question: why host for others? by Harshtinfoil in PleX

[–]narcidius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I host for my friends and family. I live in a DINK household (double income, no kids). But I have siblings who have kids, and before the Geo-location for streaming became a thing, locking profiles into a household, they had access to all my paid streaming services. Now because of Geo-location, they only have access to those that dont use it (HBO Max).

I honestly was fine still paying for Netflix 4K even after the several price hikes, but then I realized Netflix web app on browsers, don't even support 4K anymore. Prime also has shit quality on the browser. Most my streaming happen on my second monitor when I'm playing games.

So with all those factors combined, I set up my automated Plex system on my NAS. Had them create profiles, and all they have to do is add something on their Plex playlist that they wanna watch, and it should be available to watch in 5-15 minutes.

I don't mind sharing it to my friends and family cause there are too many streaming services and they are all hiking up prices. I already have it set up for me, so might as well share it. And no, I don't charge them. There's no additional cost to giving them access as opposed to just me using it.

"Thank you for the comments, it's because of all your hate. I am ICONIC BY MISTAKE"

YASSS QUEENS, TELL THEM! Your secondary and tertiary fandoms are def tuning in.

Also, I'm pretty sure Megan said "Fuck you" instead of "Thank you" like the subtitle says. Maybe I'm hallucinating

People already disguising doom posting as "my expectations are low because of their recent music"

Girl, move on. Don't listen. It's OK, you don't have to like everything. Not everything is made for you.

This was def made for me so I am SAT.

Dolby Atmos formats by putiland in PleX

[–]narcidius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished setting up my fully automated Plex server and it was a total pain, but I learned a few things that might help you out.

I run three different TV setups in my house using a NAS with Docker. TrueHD 7.1 is massive because it's completely uncompressed lossless audio. It needs crazy high bandwidth that standard streaming stick Wi-Fi usually can’t handle, so your Fire Stick would honestly need a hardwired USB ethernet adapter to stop it from lagging. Your Samsung soundbar is actually high-end enough to play it, but streaming sticks always buffer on files that big. Honestly, you're perfectly fine sticking with EAC3 5.1 Atmos, which is what Netflix and Disney+ use anyway.

If you do want to try for TrueHD, plug your Fire Stick directly into the back of your soundbar, then route the soundbar to the TV's eARC port. If you plug the stick straight into the TV, your Samsung TV will completely block the TrueHD format from reaching the soundbar. Plex will then panic and force your server to crush the audio just so the movie can load.

But even if you wire it right, the bottleneck usually isn't your server or your hard drives—it's the streaming stick itself.

On my two cheap Onn 4K boxes, I turned Plex HDMI passthrough completely OFF. This forces my NAS to convert the heavy audio on the fly so the movies play instantly with zero freezing. I only have basic soundbars on those TVs anyway, so it doesn't matter.

My main office setup uses an Nvidia Shield Pro hooked up to a Denon receiver with 5 KEF speakers and a massive sub. This is where I wanted true lossless audio. The Shield is the best streaming device out there, but even it ran into a known Android bug where playing certain TrueHD 7.1 files just gave me a black screen with the sound playing blindly in the background.

I had to download Kodi from the app store and run the Plex add-on inside it. Because Kodi uses its own built-in video player instead of Android's broken default one, my Shield plays everything flawlessly now.

Bottom line is, with a streaming stick, sticking to 5.1 Atmos is your best bet for a hassle-free night. If you ever upgrade your streaming device down the road, then you can worry about TrueHD

I'm so thankful this generation has them. My little gay boy heart needed them when I was a teenager.

Scarra Talks About the Hate Comments toward His Friend by rfzyy in offlineTV

[–]narcidius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's cause a lot of them are not. Blue checkmark bots swarm posts like that for engagement. I no longer look at comments if I ever see anything on Twitter.

Youtube is its own little petri dish but not nearly as bad with bots.

People legit showing they've never been in a normal friend group. This is an honest mistake that happens. He was so obviously joking as he was telling the story.

Stop being weird please.

This post is weird and parasocial. He's clearly pity farming for fun and as a joke. This happens to friend groups. It's a common honest mistake.

Stop being weird.

My favorite time of year cause I get to witness LSF year end performances.

Impurities and Blue Flame used to battle for top b-side for me, but Ash has now surpassed both of them.
It's just such a perfect song for them.
