  • it was showing the name on the server as the long name with details instead of just the movie name.

    Yea, sounds it couldn’t match the movie. But in my expirence that rarley happens and I only rename files when a matching issue occures.

    I’ve tried seeding the renamed files through the torrent but it seems since the movie names didn’t match it would start trying to download again

    Another option would be to create a hardlink from the torrent folder to your library folder. That way you can have two completely independent filenames.

    Personally I’m more on the paranoid side, so I went with raid 6 and a hot spare. So in case of failure I can rebuild one disk immediately and not having to buy one first. But so far I’ve never had a disk failure.

    In addition I was thinking of having the 8TB HDD as a standalone to backup the documents and maybe the photos and the docker setups.

    That is a very good idea. I also can’t quite afford to backup my main storage of movies/shows, but at least all the important personal documents (and my music) is properly backed up.




  • I DGAF about your kids.

    Preach!

    One of the craziest wtf moment of my life resulted from an oversharing parent.

    At a hot summer day a few years back someone posted a picture of them barbequing in their backyard to our company’s “off topic” teams chat. Nothing unusual. I was over at a friends place so I send back a picture of us sitting in lawnchairs having a beer. In comes the third colleague, first time father with a roughly 1.5 year old at the time. So he posts a picture of his kid running around in his backyard. Completly naked, full frontanl nudity.

    It took me a minute to recollect and I messaged him to please take down the picture. I know he didn’t mean any harm and was just sharing his hot-summer-weekend expirence … and he did realise his blunder and took it down. But wtf mate?

    After that I immediately googled how to clear my teams’ app image cache …




  • I feel you. I have close to 30 friends on plex, but only like 5 people use it regularly, another 4 sporadically … and most others either have never watched anything or just like seconds (probably just testing if it worked).

    It’s not the easiest platform to adopt, especially if you just have an account to connect to a friends library and don’t know how to do the inital setup (hiding all the free crap). Most of my regular viewers are family members … and I setup their homescreen for them.
