  Wahts up party people!? Seems i missed some good action. No GAs or Flash sales yet though!

  None yet. But guess something good is brewing behind the scenes

  I think so! I wonder what @BlazinDimes would think!?

  I also wonder what @BlazinDimes would think.

  I don't anymore. I am curious if @noob404 would join us anytime soon.

  Yeah, where is @noob404 anyway?

  I updated my server to 4vcs... Let's see if it will work

  What's 4vcs? Is it virtual cores? If yes, that won't automatically disable transcoding but would only help handling the transcoding load very minimally.

  Yeah... It's impossible to disable it seems so...

  I was able to disable transcoding on plex. Maybe check that out instead :O

  I tried Plex but I can't install it properly =(

  Yah, what does it say when you install. Also if youa re having trouble installing directly, a Docker container might be better

  Basically I try to add a library and it says to download the Plex media server... But I'm accessing it in my server

  Never tried Plex before. But, what tutorial did you follow to install Plex?

  Well, I just followed their instructions on download pages

  Are you sure that the Plex server is running? Check services to make sure.

  Try another video format and see if it still transcodes.

  I'm using H264... It should be supported, right? .mkv video

  Mkv is almost 50/50 for me. I'd recommend H264 MP4. Try a sample video and see if it transcodes as well.

  will try that, thank you!
  Sad thing is that you can't find a lot of torrents (specially in private trackers) with mp4 format

  Try any sample MP4 video to test.

  Theres some youtube to mp4 converters too out there that are easy to use. Might want to try that as a quick n dirty test

  He could also just use yt-dl to get them

  ah thats a cool one! I usually just use websites to dl but that makes it much easier!

  Yah me as well. Yt-dl is complicated to use esp. if younare new to it.

  ah so maybe not so easy then. Just saw it was a CLI which is nice

  What should i buy with my HostDare credits?

  Is trading them in for racknerd credits an option? If so, do that!

  he might be able to trade with another person

  The hard part would be finding someone wanting to trade out of rack nerd credits! Would have to be taking a loss on the hostdar side to do that. Everyone wants some racknerd!

  Yah. I personally won't. But I guess there are people with other preferences.

  they would have to pry racknerd credits out of my cold dead hands!

  Yup. Docker helps isolate projects. I ran Jellyfin on Docker and it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

  But if you want to take full advantage of Plex, their premium subscription is recommended..I guess they still sell lifetime license.

  They have life time really? I didnt get one when it was cheap and always regretted it. I thought they killed off lifetime
