Does Yea Forums run their own personal media server?

If you live alone and only ever want to watch your movies and TV shows on your PC, then you have no reason to get Plex unless you want to pimp out your folder, making it look nicer and more informative.

Plex/Jellyfin/Emby are good if you want to easily distribute your movies and tv shows over the wireless networks to whatever other devices are connected (Smart TVs, Smartphones, Roku, PS4/Xbox, etc)

Is this a fucking marketing pitch for Plex masquerading as late night Yea Forums discussion?

I agree with the shills though, Plex is the shit. Beats plugging in hard drives and such, especially since Roku 3 doesn't have the codec to play most of the files' audio.

Based Plex. My girlfriend’s cousin is software engineer and he and his wife remodeled their spare bathroom into a server room with watercooling. He has over 8000 titles in 1080p on his servers and many of them are great movies and also quite recent. Things that came out last month he torrents and uploads so his family can watch it. Need to marry her ASAP just for access to their plex

do you have to download a plex app on your TV? so all it basically is is like google drive or other cloud storage

>1080p
>he doesnt download 4k

Magic. Its pretty fucking good man. It uses title data primarily from what I can tell, if you do get a bad match (Mandy is the only one out of around 1k movies that did this) you can manually select by year etc.

>not listening exclusively to AM radio
beat it, technocuck

What's the point of a dedicated server room if you dont even have the space for 4k files?

>It reads the file name and figures it out?
Yeah, it just needs the name of the movie and the year in the foldername or filename. It doesn't always get it right, so for some movies you'll want to make sure the folder/file names are correct. For example "Spartacus (1960)" or "Star Wars (1977)" - with that much information, it will match with the moviedb page easily.

TV shows are a bit trickier because they have seasons and episodes.

>so that's it. all it does is allow you to watch a movie you downloaded on your laptop on your TV?
Laptop? More like any PC.

>there's already tonnes of shit that allows you to do that with smart TVs
Re-Read that post. Then give me an example of something not called Plex, Emby or Jellyfin that lets you run your PC as a media server that any smart device can watch films from.

1080p at the minimum of brand new movies just released. A lot of the movies that are worth seeing in 4K are downloaded in 4K like the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Trilogy i was bingewatching earlier. What I was trying to say is that none of the stuff on his Plex is bad quality

>do you have to download a plex app on your TV?
yes
First you download it on your PC, set it up as server, then download the client app on your TV/smartphone/tablet/whathaveyou

But that guy but yeah, down the plex app and use your pc as the server. I'll shill for plex all day, except that for some reason the app on my tv loses track of time all the fucking time. No big problem. Just make sure to look at a real clock once in a while when you are bingeing.

I know I sound like a shill, but dunno how else to answer the question without sounding like an infomercial. Sometimes it's hard to explain how this stuff works.

Personally I just wanna hear peoples setups. Personally I have an Unraid server running Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Jackett, Deluge & OpenVPN. Works beautifully.

Cloud Storage is optimized for storing any kind of data.Not sure why you'd ever want to watch something from google drive when you have an upload limit.

Plex is optimized for media viewing.

What's radarr and sonarr?

not all movies benefit from 4k resolution
hell, not all movies benefit from even HD resolution
just as talk radio benefits from the fuzziness of AM radio

Yeah I'm surprised more Zoomers aren't Plex savvy. It's the shit. You can invite friends across the world to your own private Netflix. My brother and I have subcategories for anime, TV, standup comedy, old NYC public access TV, and holidays content.

It's an addiction. There are so many cool films you'll never encounter on streaming. Cinemageddon and TV Vault ftw.

>this blatant shilling

just because companies market some more complex shit to them and then dumb down the interface doesn't mean they're any more tech literate than the previous generation

PVR Clients that manage your movie/tv show files and search across usenet and torrent sites for what you want. Sonarr for TV Shows, Radarr for movies. Sonarr in particular is known for downloading TV show episodes as soon as they've aired and been uploaded to usenet/torrent network.

Emby used to be the free as in freedom alternative to Plex, but they went closed source recently. Jellyfin is a fork of the last free version of Emby and intends to keep it that way.
I think they have better native compatibility with Kodi, and I know some people on /g/ prefer how Emby/Jellyfin work with subtitles, but other than that, not sure. I definitely prefer Plex's UI, and for Kodi, I just download PlexKodiConnect.

Is there a better torrent aggregator now than BitChe? It seems to have less results. I use BitChe with Deluge for 90% of my dls but feels like it might be antiquated now

>shilling software that costs nothing
I mean, I'm only answering questions in detail. You're free to keep paying for that Netflix subscription at your leisure, or to keep running that HDMI cable across the floor to your TV.

>There are so many cool films you'll never encounter on streaming. Cinemageddon and TV Vault ftw.
explain. all plex is is a cloud storage facility. how does it determine what you download?

Bro just use the built-in search for qBittorrent. That, or configure Sonarr and Radarr with Jackett.

You didn't answer

Doesn't the qBittorrent search only use specific trackers you add to it or am I using it wrong? Or are there other tracker plugins that aren't on qBT github?

Guys, im seriously retarded, can someone explain torrent trackers or link me to something that does? Right now I find the magnet link, copy it and paste it to qtorrent to download stuff.

try b-ok.org
its a DDL site for epubs

I just use an xpenology nas that downloads my shit using rss. I don't get why you'd want a fucking 'media server'.

Libgen c'mon

The only thing that annoys the fuck out of me with Plex is that I can't get subtitles to work, so when Amerimutts are speaking their new language (spanish) in a movie, I miss part of the plot.

Other than that, it was worth the $30 for like a years subscription.

servers can do a shitload more things

Kthx

Been planning to do this not just for movies but for ripped games as well as emulators. The only problem is the HTPC as I'm going need a high end one to set everything up. Been saving but I simply use them up whoring when I'm lonely. Not even kidding.

So what does jackett do? I just still down everything the old fashioned way, from yify and rarbg.

Just add literally every site to the search addon, already better than bitche.

Just follow this tutorial:

>So what does jackett do?
Fetches all the public torrent indexers so you can search everything on Sonarr and Radarr. See the tutorial here

Neato. Thanks man.

Sounds interesting user, let me download and try it...
>Subscription required
DROPPED

Plex safe for my "1488 collection" or nah

Uh no? Subscription just unlocks certain features that normal people like yourself won't use.

If you don't like Plex or really want those features, you just use the fully free alternative in Jellyfin.

Plex encrypts outgoing traffic, so probably. Nothing's ever really "safe" when you're online either way, especially if you're on windows.

Don't forget there's an extension for plex that automatically pulls the latest tv shows/movies whenever they release

You need an account, not a subscription. Its pretty clean from my experience, they've never bombarded me promo shit or harassed me to pay for anything, not even once.
This worries me a tad. I always have that little niggle in the back of my mind wondering if plex will turn and rat me out one day.

any private tracker sites you can pay to access? i'm not autistic enough to beg for invites and i don't have any friends to give me invites :/

Isn't that what usenet is? Forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm in the same boat as you.

>Sonarr in particular is known for downloading TV show episodes as soon as they've aired and been uploaded to usenet/torrent network

Any program that can read feeds can do that.

How does this compare to Kodi? I just want to have the films on my external hard drive presented nicely. Not interested in streaming anything online

$30 for access to myanonymouse

IPT for $30 I think. You can't buy your way into the better sites (at least without risk) so it's better than nothing.

Usenet requires monthly payments to download from and free NZB indexer sites only allow you to automatically query them once or twice an hour.

Kodi is a media player. Kodi can play content hosted on a Plex, Emby or Jellyfin server.

Say you hooked up your hard drive to your PC, you set up a Plex server on your PC that reads all the movies and TV shows on that hard drive; now you can access the movies on your hard drive with any Smart TV or Smartphone connected to the same router, be it with the Plex Media Player, Kodi, or something else.

Okay, allow me to state this as clear as I can, does (((they))) own the Plex? I don't want my collection or my crew's on if so. Appreciate the heads up.

I do but I use my NAS and Kodi

Yes user, ofcourse i have my own kinostation and server.

Plex is based as fuck.

>Kodi
>spelled reverse
>I.D. O.K.
Hi Feds. Try harder.

So plex could handle my 60 TB TV-Series collection?
I don't have a server running, but external HDD's that are filled with content.

I have a lattepanda where I download all my torrents using remote desktop from my phone. I did it recently. I'm really happy with the results. the only problem I have is with subtitles. I use the opensubtitles agent but when they load the stream freezes . it also seems to do that with all .sub files. any help would be appreciated.

I use a seedbox, and my plan includes Plex integration, so I can just download using the seedbox and watch the movie on Plex without having to download the movie locally. That's my use for Plex and I otherwise wouldn't use it if not for the seedbox server.

Yes, but I prefer using a kodi for streaming.
Nowadays I don't really care about hoarding content on my hds.

yes

PLEX + Chromecast + 10 year old tv master race reporting in

Just plug your HDDs into your PC, or buy/build a NAS, set up your Plex libraries to browse through those folders and you're all set.

Kodi is not a server.

I know I'm just saying I prefer watching streamed content than using a local server solution.
Especially for newer shit.

So you're saying you prefer Netflix and Hulu to local servers like Plex?

Why bring up Kodi then? Netflix has its own native app.

I pirate my shit like any decent person.
I'd rather put my screen on fire than to finance Netflix.
There are shitloads of decent streaming apps for kodi.

But you can't find older kino on streaming.

OK you have a point there streaming is mostly for newer shit.
For older stuff youcan try with elementum it's working with torrent protocol but it's pretty fast.
But I mostly use my hdds to stream the old stuff I hoarded through the years.
Nothing fancy as a plex tho, I use FTP to access my pc through kodi.

For now, i'm just using my HDD's and filebrowse, watching the videos with my VLC on my computer.
Since i'm the only one in my entire family who is interested in this, i have either no need for streaming.
But the program looks nice so i just wondered.

how do I fix my thumbnails and shit I don't like this

Yeah if you're the only one watching, no need to setup a Plex server unless you want to pimp out the appearance of your library. IE- instead of having a folder with a bunch of videos, you could have summaries, cast, artwork & other stuff. Not that important, but pretty spiffy.

rename your files to match actual titles

Download filebot and files 2 folder

>Usenet requires monthly payments to download from and free NZB indexer sites only allow you to automatically query them once or twice an hour.

1) There's free providers. I use them and get free content all the time.
2) Indexers can be searched as much as you want. Only some of them make you pay to download more than 10 nzbs a day.

Did you build your own NAS, or did you buy one of those prebuilt boxes?

>does (((they))) own the Plex?
Plex was literally co-founded by a Jew named Elan Feingold.

I don't use Plex. I use open source software like Kodi and FreeNAS.

>Kodi is not a server.
You can use Kodi as a server. If you enable the UPNP server on a Kodi installation on your PC, you can stream video to your smart TV.

>There's free providers

I don't doubt it but they're severely limited for automation.

Indexers can be searched as much as you want

I did say 'automatically' which means API/RSS calls. For example, Drunken slug only gives you 50 per day.

Yes

I use private trackers to get kino that is literally from the silent era of movies.

Streaming sites are mostly garbage.

Mainly for TV tho.

I use Kodi to organize and play any movie I want from any era, with commentary, extras, etc. All for free. Because I listened to Yea Forums when they told me to join private trackers. Best thing Yea Forums has ever done for me.

Pic related. This is just 1 title with all the options. I can find anything ever made, with all the extra features. No matter how old or rare.

If you haven't done this by now, you're stupid and wasting your time on Yea Forums

P.S. It's free. I haven't paid a dime since 2014.

This. I just use FreeNAS. Synology boxes are ok, though. As long as you get the black ones.

>I don't doubt it but they're severely limited for automation.

Eh, most people don't need to automate. I just search and download and I bet 90% of people also do that and it gets the job done.

>die hard
Hello american.

Nah, I'm Australian. I still haven't seen any of the Die Hards so I chucked 1 and 3 on my Plex sever, and the funny thing is I still haven't watched them.

>FreeNAS
Overkill as fuck for a media server. ZFS filesystem has a high ram requirement when you barely need any to stream and transcode videos.

Unraid is objectively the best option.
If you don't want to pay money, then OpenMediaVault and XigmaNAS are good choices (the latter slightly more advanced).
If you're an autist that's adept with the terminal, Debian or Ubuntu server works.

Xpenology is also worth mentioning. It's basically a bootloader for the Synology NAS OS, which is great and very easy to use, but I heard it's hard to install and update.

Show me City Girl. Really old movie.

yeah but Sonarr makes it easier because you don't have to worry about the RSS filters not functioning properly or your box not being on when the RSS object is current.

Sonarr and similar programs use search terms as well as RSS meaning you can search for much older content that isn't in the current rss feed.
It also supports automatic renaming and other filtering that is a pain in the ass to do with plain rss in your torrent client.

what tracker is this?

Christ nigga y'all need to be more informed.

I'm a boomer and I use torrent to my Synology NAS and stream those files to my Fire Stick 4K running Kodi. Works beautifully.

don't the tv's have native inhouse streaming now

it’s easier to just use putlocker

plex is a retarded UI for retarded coddled zoomers

>paying money
Idiot.

someone send me their plex server

There's probably a better fix, but what I do is enable the subs, start the movie in my browser, and then cast. If you cast before enabling the subs, the subtitles don't seem to work right. If you've already started casting, select "stop casting" and then follow the steps. That works for me.

Yes. I bought a synology nas last year and put 2 4tb drives in. So fat about 1.2 tb used. Waiting for when wd easystore 10 tbs go o. Sale again for 160 to pick up 2.

I hope you're RAIDing that nigger.

for Plex/Emby/Jellyfin users Ombi is fucking exceptional.

It lets your normie friends request stuff to download to your server without manually searching or giving them access to any of your settings.
They can simply request a movie or show or episode and it does it behind the scenes.
Even lets you halt the download until you approve the request or put a cap on each user.

Imagine if Yea Forums built a server for everybody to use.

yes

Does the synology SHR count to you? My first thought was "what if a disk fails." Now i kind of wished id gotten the 8 bay version but 4 bay is ok.

I mean you can, you could even host it on a VPS and have loads of users streaming concurrently.

The problem is the more people you have feeding off one of those things the more attention it gets, I'd rather just have my own server for me and my family/friends.

>I mean you can, you could even host it on a VPS and have loads of users streaming concurrently.
It would only work if it were p2p, where everybody was streaming to each other while streaming from the server at the same time. Like webtorrent.

And you know Yea Forums hates to seed or upload in any way shape or form.

Na you should be good, I'm nearly sure that's the same as RAID 5 only you can mix and match drives.

Yea Forums would be better served by a private tracker where everybody on Yea Forums has their own login. The problem however would be getting anybody on Yea Forums to seed. Yea Forums is full of retarded manbabies who think they should get everything for free without contributing, even to people like themselves.

But hey if you're reading this thread and don't already have a PTP or BTN account, you're basically a fucking loser.

I still use Kodi for the same purpose. It's my favorite part of my life.

I use Plex on everything but have been wondering about Emby. Seems like the faggots that use it are bad at answering questions. So here it is for anyone that's maybe gone through the same trouble: The Amazon Fire Stick runs some apps, especially Plex and VRV, like absolute shit — is Emby more lightweight?

Plex is a Honeypot. If you live in the USA and have pirated shit in your server library then it will send your information to the authorities.

Well that's just gonna have to be proven. People have been doing this for years.

Been using Plex for a few months. Enjoying the part where the UI is simple enough even my grandma was able to use it to watch the movies or series she asked for.
Yes, but remember you have to do a library update when setting it up or adding new stuff. It's not the whole 60TB, but around 1TB took me ~20min with a 60mb/s upload speed.

Does Plex play through your home theater system? The issue I have is many of my rips are DTS audio tracks/codecs. I've never been able to find a player that does exactly what i want since the WDTV players. My old one of those won't play HDDs over 2tb. I got a Shield, and it's good for playback and 4k, but its interface sucks for a media library.

Plex is funny in its codecs. So you can set it how you want or you can actually have them just do their standard encoding. I've had no problem with their standard and it's run on everything. If you find it doesn't, you can go into your profile on your PC and set audio/video how you want and it can convert.

Why would it? It's just the raw data passing through my router.

I watch a lot of foreign films and have never had issues with subs. I push 4K movies via my router to my TV. Subtitles are like 50-100kb of data...

>you can go into your profile on your PC and set audio/video how you want and it can convert.
Why are you idiots converting? Just push the raw data via an UPNP, SMB or NFS share. There's literally no converting needed. It's all decoded in your player.

All I need is Kodi on my TV. My PC in the next room has my kinos shared via SMB. I just press a button on the remote and it just werks.

i just use my external hard drive

Imagine being this retarded and plugging and unplugging that shit to your TV or whatever every time you watch a kino instead of just streaming it over your router.

It's not for you, blessed user. It's superior for those who travel or share with family/friends, or get really bored at work and whip out their phone.

emby is the same thing with a worse interface
