I don't know you or how you're feeling, but do you feel like you deserve the same consideration you give your cat when it comes to yourself?

I've been depressed so I know there's a solid chance that answer is no and you probably feel pretty settled about why, but ask yourself if you were judging someone you love (maybe your cat) by the same metric would your answer for them be the same?

Depression is a real rough process, we're rooting for you.

Your cat would want you to be happy. As long as you don't forget to fill up the food bowl.

I've been using Technitium for about 3 years and I'm with you.

Whenever I think I get it, I search for the solution to a problem I'm having and see the developer respond and feel like I get less than half the things in the explanation. My setup definitely works and it has never failed me... but there are a lot of things where I don't understand why at all and yeah I am also using maybe 10% of the options available. I'm not sure I'll ever get past the intimidating phase.

Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.

I'm in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I've served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that's going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.

There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they're mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There's also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers 'swarmed' together, this is also super beta and very new. You'd have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it's going to be weird.

Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.

I mean, we've all known variations of this guy. He's got some batshit crazy ideas and it's amazing he's not in a mental ward for something but damn if he's not a good hang.

This is actually a problem a lot of people are working on, they used to call the resulting failure 'model collapse'. Training AI on existing slop does tend to deteriorate and is overall a bad time for AI.

Curious about your problem. I'm using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you're describing previously.

Wow, kinda same, I had the full image for a minute, but it cropped when I tried to zoom in and now even if I zoom back out its still cropped.

Not saying it's entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.

I've got one on 537 days right now, it's at 92.4%.

It's basically lost media otherwise. Every few months, some extra pieces show up and I see some progress... I really wonder about where its coming from. There's usually 6-8 of us on it and I've never caught anyone with 100% online.

I'm just a bit older, but been there.

I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and... yeah, I don't think I can do this y'all.
