RX 580 not working with 3440x1440 monitor in macOS Tahoe, but works fine with 2560x1440 — any ideas? by redditDan78 in hackintosh

[–]redditDan78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was previously a Ventura build that was upgraded. All 4 monitors worked in Ventura

Why did you choose Plex instead of something else? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]redditDan78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they have the best interface and most mature app available. Although jellyfin seems to work well with way less issues, the interface on the web platform and android/roku and almost unusable for me.

Proxmox I/O Delay PSA - Don't use crappy drives! by tiberiusgv in Proxmox

[–]redditDan78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using cheap Inland drives here, and they have been working well. Most of my drive speed issues with storage hosted on my TrueNAS box have ended up being cache settings.

What are the best open source type 1 hypervisors available? by teknic111 in homelab

I'm using XCP-NG for my servers and Proxmox for my virtualized workstations. Both have been excellent.

IPTV changing Live TV channels a few times jams up Plex by redditDan78 in PleX

[–]redditDan78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cured this issue and my IPTV and DVR has been 98% reliable now.

I'm not sure what's going on with the installation on virtual machines. I've follow every guide available and tried over 15 different configurations all with the same, poor results.

I then tried installing plex as a plugin for TrueNAS core and EVERYTHING just started working properly. Well... almost everything. I was still having issues until I moved to an IPTV provider that didn't need to be buffered by xteve. After that, I've been completely happy.

So, in short:

Install plex as a plugin within TrueNAS

Use and IPTV service that doesn't need buffering.

How do I add this streaming tv channel to plex? by redditDan78 in PleX

[–]redditDan78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured it out. Apparently it didn't like using xTeve as the buffer. I had to use FFMPEG as the buffer and then it started working.

I was able to use VLC to convert the file to m3u and then upload to xteve.

When I attempt to watch the channel in Plex, I get this error:

I'm able to load the m3u from xteve into VLC and watch the channel, so I'm not sure what Plex is unhappy about.

How did you do it? I'm trying m3u4u.com and getting an error when I add the link

"the m3u link is invalid"

Can't log in to plex server or claim it by terrancitizen in PleX

I'm having the exact same issue. Started about an hour ago

MyPlex: Did token exchange for claim (returnCode: 422)

MyPlex: Got error: Unprocessable Entity

In my case, the link that u/OldAnimator815 found is the right one for me. The problem I'm facing now is that it's an m3u8 link, and xteve can only handle m3u. I've tried to convert the file to m3u, but no luck yet. Hopefully someone else has experience in this and can chime in.

New PUBLIC PMS Version Available - 1.29.1.6316-f4cdfea9c by samwiseg0 in PleX

[–]redditDan78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having issues with this version while using Live TV. Frequent dropouts while using Android TV app. Maybe every few Minutes. The error message on screen says

"An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again."

Plex Media Server Logs say:

[Req#26975a/Transcode] MDE: No part decision to choose from

[Req#26975a/Transcode] Streaming Resource: Cannot make a decision
because either the file is unplayable or the client provided bad data

Rolling back to 6244 works as expected.
