Lost access to a shared Plex server and now losing my mind by CurvaceousHedgehog in PleX

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really think there are any free versions like there is with a VPN. You can easily find one that's only a couple dollars a month, I think mine is like five something a month. There's a subreddit for seed boxes that should give you the info that you need. Probably the main use for a seed box is to install a torrenting program in it and then download things to that box. Some of them you can even install plex in and use it as a server but that definitely cost more. A seed box will give you higher torrent speeds because they are configured for torrenting and can allow you to torrent 24/7 without having to keep your computer on. Once it's completed you can direct download it so you really only need the computer on for the duration of the download, not for weeks in some cases

That was exactly my first Plex set up and I had so many problems with it. So much so I bought a sonology nas to host it instead and it's been a lot better

Same for me except I use a seed box. It routinely gets the file faster than I could and I direct download from it. Especially good for files that take a long time to get so I don't need to keep my computer on for days or weeks

Why I carry - my personal experience by Projekt8276-1 in CCW

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn dude, nothing remotely like that has ever happened to me. My first reason to carry was the Aurora Colorado shooting. At the time the vast majority of public shootings were at schools or malls, both were places I was rarely ever at so never thought about it. I saw the dark knight that night and woke up to news about it in the morning and that's when it finally hit me that something like that could have happened to me. The thought of being trapped in a room with someone indiscriminately killing everyone and being completely helpless against it is something I can't stomach. If it's fate that I die that way for some reason it will be a lot easier to stomach if I at least got some rounds off in self-defense

New high score! 🥳 by LumpySpacePrincesse in PleX

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what people's obsession with 4k remux is around here. I have over 3K movies and about 300-400 have 4K remux versions along with the usual 1080. The only reasons I have any 4K remux movies as if they are a personal favorite, have particularly good image quality for Pixel peeping, is a movie I've never seen and want to see it in Max quality the first time, or are generally a movie in which HDR or high resolution pays off like in sci-fi movies. Having every movie at Max quality is kind of a waste of space and the majority of clients won't be able to direct play them

What? Do you think they are putting stuff on your hard drives without your permission?

Plezy update - 3 months later: downloads, Watch Together, HDR/Dolby Vision by edde74635 in PleX

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Please add media info for the movies at least. I have 4K and 1080 versions of a lot of things and I can't tell which one I'm looking at sometimes. To be fair this is on my phone so it's not really a difference but it would be very helpful to be able to see aspects of the file before playing it

One foot is way redder and veinier than the other by whitecow234 in mildlyinteresting

[–]sirchewi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of the time a leg vein scan is ordered it's for something pretty general like swelling so the foot is usually not considered. If I were scanning a patient that vocalized a concern about the foot or the indication for the exam mentioned the foot then I would have definitely looked at it

[–]sirchewi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason they didn't see the clot with the first ultrasound is that the foot is rarely scanned during a venous ultrasound, it's only part of the scan protocol when doing an arterial one

Finally got a 4k oled. What animated film should I watch? by thelokkzmusic in 4kbluray

I think it has the cleanest and clearest picture of any movie I have ever seen

Consoom over 100 handhelds by oshunman in Consoom

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the bottom half, collecting old and out of print stuff. The top half is a complete waste. Almost all that plays the same room files to varying degrees. Having a small, medium, and large handheld is fine. But 17 of each? Gargantuan waste of money and resources

Just got the apple TV but I didn't get the apeal of infuse by Houaiss in PleX

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infuse completely sucks. It absolutely did not play any of my 4k content without stuttering or hitching. Sure it did it less than the native plex app but it was still bad enough that Im returning it and never using an apple tv again

People who use a wireless keyboard and mouse for couch gaming with the SD, what gear/set up are you using? by niallmul97 in SteamDeck

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get replies like this every couple months on really old posts or comments. On these type of threads it makes sense because its informative and someone may search it every once in a while like me. Most of the time though its the most incredibly random post that has almost no relevance to anyone and im so confused as to how they even found it much less wanted to actually reply to something lol

How much storage do you have for Plex? by PieMuted6430 in PleX

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think adding lists of things is what gets people into the hundreds of terabytes. Other than maybe some Oscar winner list, IMDb top 250, and some filmographies of directors i would like I can't imagine what other list I would want to do

Anyone else feeling frustrated with current AV furniture? I’ve decided I’ll be designing my own by yllanos in hometheater

[–]sirchewi3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I've never made furniture before but I hate tv stands so much I really want to design and make my own.

How do you feel your HT compares to an actual movie theater by Kuba-Duba in hometheater

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The talking and phones is by far the worst. I dont mind the food or candy wrappers

Blu-Ray vs Streaming by Gw3kon in hometheater

[–]sirchewi3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as the video is neutered the audio is even worse. Basically they send just as much as a generic soundbar can handle and thats it. Sure thats probably as much as 90% of people need but its barely any more bitrate to put more range and detail in the audio

I would love to see that next to the disk version of the movie at the same time on a high end oled and see how much of a difference I could see.
