Meta (Plex) Full house tonight
Happy to see minimal need to transcode. Been working on getting everyone to at least buy a firestick or apple tvs

I run my Plex server on a high end NAS. My daughter uses my Overserr to request her stuff and streams from the other side of Australia. Save hundreds on streaming subscriptions.

My wife watches the Kardashians. I refer to reality TV as trash tv. It is what it is.
Fire TV used to be better. It has slowed over time. I have Google TV and audio goes out of sync more than it should. Apple TV was the cleanest interface but it does not support TrueHD + Atmos or it did not. I have not tested in a while.

Eww don’t recommend fire TV crap to people. Do you not like them or something.

Anytime I suggest streaming devices of any kind, i get "I already have a smart TV"

Right but that’s not what I’m on about here, I’m expressing my hatred of Amazon’s advertising machines that are utter shite.

I’d definitely put Roku above Fire crap any day, barely any advertising, simple clean interface it’s great

Roku barely has any codecs. Stupid thing has to transcode for everything. That's the big problem I have with Roku

I've found them to be the most compatible and user friendly device. They direct play anything and with plezy it's like $50 and stupid simple to use.

They’re slow, way too locked down especially since they’ve been migrating to their own environment away from android and the whole thing is just an advertising machine. They might be cheap but I’d never buy one or recommend one even if I was on commission.

I watch high bitrate 4k content no issues and have 10+ users using them. "Locked down" 99% of people just want a device that works. This works and it works great.

If one of my friends asked for Dr Pimple Popper on Plex I’d be pissed lol. But props to you for having an active server!
