I think every time I’ve heard about the plex smart TV app it has not been positive lol

Gonna be honest, I don’t know the exact logistics behind plex transcoding and what resources it may or may not use on the client and I’ve never tried a smart TV app as a client. I’m really not in a place to comment on it. But I can attest to having no issues when transcoding lossless formats to windows or the Nvidia shield.

I have not experienced this with any lossless transcodes and my friends streaming remote haven’t said anything about it. What client are you using to watch media?

I just decided to bite the bullet on paying for a Synology DS920+ and I don’t regret it at all. For media hosting on my scale, 4K direct or 1080p transcodes to 6 or less concurrent streams, it does everything I need it to do and it has pretty decent software.

Turns out that a creative director that unapologetically makes exactly the game that they wanted to make is a winning formula.

The cult of personality that adheres to the philosophy of being “self-made” doesn’t help, but anti-union practices by the US’ ruling class have been exercised since the industrial revolution, and meanwhile government has hardly ever stepped in to regulate or break monopolies.
