• Maybe easy maybe hard maybe impossible?

  I am not sure I have been reading up on qbittorent proxy in just the last few minutes and it looks like I would have to pay for a proxy server then have all requests sent to that proxy server in which would then send them to my qbittorent? Am I in the general ballpark as to how to make this work? If so I may just keep doing everything manually like I have been doing for years until I get the nerve to try all this....

• I messed something up and now I can't delete and reset server fresh no matter what i try.

  Has Sync Watch State & Ratings ever been enabled for your account (Settings)? If so, then the server is pulling the info from your account at plex.tv. Source: 3 months ago

• Yet another help with remote access - Plex and Nginx

  I'm pretty confused about what the missing link is here. Usually it works fine on LAN, but sometimes is marked as indirect or insecure. The mobile app seems to work on WAN, but not usually plex.tv. Can anyone help me understand how plex networking works? Thanks! Source: 3 months ago

• Download media option is available on android app but not in the web app

  I am perplexed here. When I am using the android client, I am able to select a movie and download it. When I use plex.tv in a browser on desktop, the download option is missing. Source: 3 months ago

• Is there something like "network attached monitor"

  The devices had a small daemon that would periodically send HTTP requests to the central web service and check if it needed to update the content it was displaying and would update content accordingly. The content was displayed through OSMC. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pay me the buying power to afford the things you got at my age, and maybe then I'll buy these things...

  Downstairs is a Raspberry PI hooked to large hard drive (8TB). That runs OSMC and provides network access for all computers/phones in the house while being hooked up to the living room TV. The IPTV can run through it but I just watch that on my computer. Source: about 1 year ago

• one day my friend

  Just put osmc on it and use it as media center. Depending on your hardware it can be pretty solid. And there is a lot you can configure. it's basically an os which boots direcly to kodi. Also it supports hdmi-cec so you can use your normal tv remote, it's awesome. Source: over 1 year ago

• Plexamp v4.2.2 Released

  I have heard good stuff about https://osmc.tv/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can someone suggest a Smart TV like distro?

  From what I know there aren't many options for this use case, and those that I know of (like OSMC or Plasma Bigscreen) all run on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, but not x86/64. I would recommend the same as other commenters: to just use a normal distribution and put something like Kodi on it. You could probably configure the system to automatically start up whatever UI you prefer to make it more seamless. Source: almost 2 years ago
