Default Does Anyone Plex?

I have my Plex server up and running, about 750 movies so far.
I've seen that you can invite friends. I don't know how to do it yet, but I imagine it's so a brother can share his library and vice versa.

I wanted to see if anyone else has set up a Plex server and if you'd like to try out this friends thing.
That is all.
Hugs and kisses.

We use it, but don't do much beyond the non-supported channels.

Default Re: Does Anyone Plex?

I ended up doing the Plex thing.
I'm running it across my Firestick app.

I can tell you guys, it's persnickety. Tough to get everything to play without a skip or hangup, even when I convert everything to .mp4's.
But I've finally managed to get it all to work, and it's AWESOME.

I ripped about 1000 videos, Chip.
And I keep finding more. I can't even take it anymore.

Default Re: Does Anyone Plex?

I use it, but only to get torrents from my laptop to my tv. I've found it to be pretty seamless so far. I am thinking about taking an old computer and turning it into a dedicated media server though, because I always forget I'm using my laptop to stream a movie and accidentally close it!

Default Re: Does Anyone Plex?

I built a 6-core, 16gb media hog for all this nonsense.
I can stream all day and never know Plex is running.
My problem is ripping. So many errors. It drives me nuts.
I have 4 optical drives in this machine, plenty of bus to handle it, yet I can seldom rip more than 2 vids at a time without them blue-screening my machine.

Set up a post-mortem debugger to capture the BSOD and see what in the stack caused the issue.

Default Re: Does Anyone Plex?

I wouldn't even be able to figure it out, Moses.
If I'm here, I can at least catch the error.
Honestly, I think it's because two of the drives are on a pci-sata card.
I should move all 4 drives to a 4-port sata card, but I don't think one pci channel can handle that much of a load.

When I begin this battle again, can I bother you about it?
I can find a post-mortem debugger, or I can use whatever you suggest.
