It just hard locks minutes to an hour after boot. I tore it down to the cpu and removed the motherboard and reconnected everything. I've now narrowed it down to CPU, MB or power supply. My bet is on MB, so I have a new one ordered.

You can hide any that stuff you don't want. I have the lifetime plex pass and the UI in plex is better than any streaming service that I've tried. One thing I like that is missing from streaming services is the actor bios. Being able to see everything that an actor/actress has been in from the pause screen of the show/movie I'm watching if I want to see more. Then I can just add those to *arr from my phone.

Haven't used stremio personally. Started with XBMC/Kodi. Plex is just better if you need to connect from multiple devices. And the *arr apps are a natural feeling progression to automate what I already know and have been doing.

No. Once I replace whatever part died, I'll be able to restore everything important.

Yeah, that was one of the first troubleshooting steps. No errors. Also tried each stick individually. Confirmed the GPU is good as well. Ordered a new MB to try next.

Computer no longer works. 'E's passed on! This PC is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PC!!

I think going forward it's Disney. So the 60th specials and the next season with Ncuti Gatwa as the Dr.

The newest episodes with Tennant are on Disney, most of the 2005 series is on max from what I understand.

If it's not the GPU I'm almost positive it's CPU or mobo. It's hard locking anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. No heat issues.

I've fresh installed windows 10, 11 and tried pop os. Pop froze twice during install. Disconnected everything except the ssd, GPU and a single stick of ram. Update bios. Tried both sticks of ram individually in slot 2 where it's supposed to go and slot 3, which still freezes and tells me I'm a dumb ass for not reading the manual for ram location. Tried installing windows on a hdd. Ram memetest86, sfc, ssd check through the bios etc.

Wish my CPU had onboard graphics to narrow that out, but I'll try the old GPU I have. At that point I guess I could throw my CPU in the kids pc and see if there's issues, but will probably just buy a mobo and see.

If I have to, I can canabilize the kids pc for parts. It's my old ryzen 3600 and gtx 970. Trying to avoid doing that if I can.

It really is. Everyone splintering off to their own app is what got me back to it. Had Netflix, Hulu, max, Disney, prime and I think Apple plus or peacock for a while and I could never remember what service the shows I was watching were on. Opening up 4 streaming apps to find what I was watching the other day got tiresome. When it was mainly Netflix and Hulu I only pirated the few shows that were on like HBO that I wanted to see. Arr apps with plex is so nice in comparison.

I've thought about it. The NAS enclosures are pretty expensive though. And since I usually just run the server on my gaming pc I couldn't justify the cost for another box when they fit in the pc just fine.

I'll get the pc fixed. Pi is being used for pihole currently. Do you need a Nas to connect the pi to the hdd that have the video files? Been a while since I messed with the pi, but I don't remember there being sata connections, or if there is, I have 3 hdd that would need to be connected.

 

And fuck. I really miss plex. I've had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won't let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn't save my watched episodes. Doesn't mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues.

Wanted to add no ad Disney to the Hulu for some Doctor Who. Only the add supported is available through Hulu. So I'd have to cancel, wait for the month to end and sign up via Disney. Deal with ads or pay almost double the duo plan costs, or include ESPN, and honestly fuck sports.

What is so difficult about just providing a decent service for a fair price? Why is plex like a decade ahead of the streaming UI's? I'm trying to give you fucks money and you're making it extremely difficult.
