I'd watch it again next year if the kids were up for it but it's hard to squeeze in any more Christmas movies with Home Alone, The Grinch, Die Hard, Christmas Vacation, Elf and A Christmas Story solidly in the rotation. The family has been pushing to add Klaus as well since that was really good. I did like 8-bit Christmas though. --- Quote from: Malenko on December 03, 2021, 02:01:08 pm --- --- Quote from: SlammedNiss on December 03, 2021, 01:36:12 pm ---Yay, a fellow Plex user! But, Adele One Night Only? --- End quote --- Happy wife happy life. --- End quote --- Is Plex just a movie player? I have a ton of discs and a ton of files but it's all in disarray. Does this just organize it all somehow? I keep seeing people talk about it but not sure what it does or how easy it is to set up. |

You can take all of your movies and rip the files out of them, place them into a folder, and Plex will add the info for you. It's super easy to set up and use. And best of all, it's free. |

I use my Xbox One X to watch the discs and some box called a Zidoo to watch all the files (it can decode pretty much everything I've thrown at it). I think it is Android based. Is that where I put Plex or is my set up not ideal for it? Of course this is all so I can watch 8-bit Christmas as many times as I want. :laugh: |

Install plex on the PC> point it at the directories where your content is> watch via just about any streaming device with a plex app (Roku, Chromcast, Fire TV, Android TV, Android phone or tablet, Apple devices). That might not be complete instructions, but that's the general rundown. Plex server on the PC will transcode to whatever format the streaming device prefers. I'm mostly in the Roku ecosystem. EDIT: Imagine a front-end that automatically adds all the box art, descriptions, previews, etc. As well as sorts the content as you see fit. That is pretty much what plex does. It's a front-end for your media content, with minimal effort on your part to organize. I ripped all my blu-rays to a big hard drive on my main PC. Occasionally I pick up "complete series" DVD sets for cheap and add those. The funny thing is that I don't use it that often because I want to save the content for a time when the internet is down or I have to take a break from the abusive monopoly Comcast. On the topic of the movie. ....eh thought it was OK. Some scenes were just too much of a ripoff of A Christmas Story. Not in the way of recycling plots, but in damn near recreating scenes. I thought the field trip portion and the ending were good. |

I got a VCR recently. It looks so ---fracking--- bad on my 55” 4K TV it’s actually remarkable. Sound is okay but some movies the bass is right at that cross over frequency so my remote sub constantly cycles on and off. On the other hand, my Vegas wedding tape has finally been ripped to a digital format. Half the people at that wedding are dead now. I bought a CBS FOX box set of Star Wars and Empire was still factory sealed so I bought another used copy of Empire. I also got a literal crate of Disney movies on VHS for $20. One of the stupidest purchases I’ve made in years. ---fudgesicle--- yo plex server. :cheers: |
