New site? Maybe some day.
|
I finally set this up after buying the apps. Rules.
|
|
I need to get the app for android. |
|
watching simpsons all the time is how I roll! |
|
Back in my day, Plex was free and barely worked |
|
The server is free from what I can tell. I certainly don't pay for it. The apps cost money, but sitting in my bathroom watching futurama... Can you put a price tag on that? |
|
Oh i just downloaded the apka while back. Heard ps3 has a plex app too. I'm all set though with my dlna setup. |
|
can you use your server when you are away from your home? |
|
Nope, that's what a microSD card is for. |
|
|
Back in my day, I wore an onion on my belt - which was the style at the time |

You forgot to mention what color the onion was, and that it was due to the war, which in later Simpsons folklore he was actually apart of. |
|
holy crap! I have a use for my chromecast finally. I started watching the lego movie on my surface. Then opened up the app on my ipad, started where I left off and clicked chromecast. My TV changed to the chromecast and started playing the movie. This rules. |
|
Sounds like they've come a ways. Was gonna get the roku3 for streaming dlna to my new media setup but if plex can stream HD via chromecast, I'll just get that instead. Any limitations? |
|
I think the only limitation is that I had to buy the app for the iPad/surface. The apps are a little pricy, but I wait for deals. I guess you can play them through a web browser, but I havent tried that yet.
I haven't figured out how to watch and stream them on the same computer (my htpc) |
|
Carina got a fire tv stick. These should work there too. |
|
Yeah, the Amazon fire stick is pretty awesome. I might get one now... |
|
Rev is there a limit of how much GB you can upload? |
|
It's store on your home machine that you install the server on. So that is the limit. I have 2 or 3tb on my server |
|
Plex combined with Chromecast is the shit. Use Google Chrome to log into the Plex server and cast away. |
|
I have yet to figure out how to get it to queue things from the plex webpage, but that was an awesome type. Thanks Brad. |
|
word. I don't even have to change the input source on my TV. If I start a Chromecast, it automagically changes to the Chromecast HDMI. |
|
ditto. that was a huge surprise. |
|
I need to make a playlist thing next so that I can play more than one episode in a row or make up a day of programing. I should probably see if I can cast network awesome to it. |
|
Debating chromecast vs roku 3... I do like the roku remote and that it finally has youtube support. Supposedly it loads everything faster and handles HD content better too. |
|
Why not just buy all of them? Fire/roku/chromecast? they are all wicked cheap. The one thing that i'm thinking about is that the firestick can play android apps from the amazon app store so you can play your games on a big screen. Sometimes it works with the fire remote. Other times, you need the fire controller which is BT and costs like $39.99. I'm thinking about trying terrerria on it or sonic. Weird world that we live in. I wonder if they will put minecraft on it. |
|
Hmm I think the roku 3 is what I'll be getting when the media cabinet in my bar is done being built. I mostly play ps3 and pc, android games are just to pass the time commuting. If I'm at home, I'm not playing a mobile game. You have babies and tablets so that makes sense. lol@buying a controller to play sonic which is on a ton of different platforms at this point |
|
but I have it for free on fire stick. Plus I could be a hero to my kiddo and get terrerria on the tv. |
|
Plex + Chromecast is pretty sweet, except Plex doesn't always handle embedded or external subtitles well |
|
funny, I was just wondering that for [REC4]
|
|
It *can* handle subtitles but it's 50/50 on whether or not it *will*
Official line is that it's a Known Issue |
|
Maybe I will just find a version of [REC4] with hard subs. |
|
maybe I'll try that. I want to start pulling out dups. |
