Is Plex still a thing?

[doodah]

Been running my Emby server for 8 years and love it but open to other solutions, but no need to jump yet.

However I've never gone beyond a bog-standard Windows install as I like having a living room PC, being able to remote in and when I upgrade - have a light gaming rig. I'm guess for these needs, there is no point considering other operating systems.

 

[heeeed]

I’m pretty sure Emby was a fork from an earlier version of plex anyway. They’re similar enough that if something is working for you and doing what you need then if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Anyone have experience with plex and audio formats? Does it handle surround?

As above it'll pass through and then your amp will deal with it. Yet to have any issues with any audio formats so far.

Anyone here use Tautulli? The latest version is being indicated to include viruses. I think I'll skip this version and maybe remove it completely.

Looks to be a false positive.

I don't run any of my stuff on Windows, it's all in Docker and I've had zero issues.

I got that a couple of weeks ago, they then pulled the newest windows installer, but I'm sure it was resumed last week. I have it installed anyway and it's fine.

V 2.15.1

It could be false positives but I feel to err on the side of caution.

Don't use Windows then.

It's fine, I get the windows defender popup sometimes when Tauttalli gets new updates. I trust them enough to keep using it!

I could move it to my other machine but can't be bothered to faff around.

That's awesome. I might try and host a plex server on my PC in that case.

Yes it's still a thing. I have mine on an unraid server

Snap. Use it all the time especially when away from home on my phone

Same here. Unraid is amazing. Got everything running in dockers and it just looks after itself.
