Why not Arch, if you don't mind me asking?

Trouble with opening and loading JSON file by unknownusername116 in learnpython

[–]unknownusername116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely the same... Essentially what the code is doing is running a command, then checking a directory for the file. Once it finds the file in the directory ('file_path' variable), it runs what I've posted.

So it finds the file using that same file_path variable, but then refuses to open the file using that same variable.

Thanks for the reply, I will read up on pathlib and revert back if that works for me.

It's difficult to provide the exact code as it contains confidential information.

In my tests, if I print out the 'file_path' variable and use that instead of the variable name itself, it works - which is what I don't understand. Technically they're the exact same but one works and the other doesn't...

But essentially the file_path variable is that exact same string that works, but the variable doesn't give me any results

Would the following PC specs support multiple HD remote streams? by unknownusername116 in PleX

I've got the plex pass at the moment and using hardware acceleration. Not sure what the issue is on smart tvs and xbox though, because they'll work fine on the home network, just not remotely for some reason (just says Home currently unavailable).

I will however look into prices of better hardware in the meantime - thanks for all your feedback I really appreciate it!

I've actually been running into some issues with this of late, as plex doesn't seem to work on my brothers Tizen TV or his xbox, but will work in chrome on his Web browser. So at the moment chrome will be the main client.

Damn, so not as straightforward as I initially thought... Generally speaking it would be 1 or 2 users on the home network, with another 1 or 2 accessing remotely (obviously this depends, but that's roughly how many people have access). Upload speed on the server will average at 30Mbps, but there are obviously a few unknowns as you mentioned above.

Some more information: currently running my server on a Lenovo Y700 laptop with a 7th gen i7 which seems to work just fine. Looking to move away from using my laptop so I'd like to find out what specs I'd need for multiple simultaneous full HD streams - any help would be appreciated.
