It just hard locks minutes to an hour after boot. I tore it down to the cpu and removed the motherboard and reconnected everything. I’ve now narrowed it down to CPU, MB or power supply. My bet is on MB, so I have a new one ordered.

You can hide any that stuff you don’t want. I have the lifetime plex pass and the UI in plex is better than any streaming service that I’ve tried. One thing I like that is missing from streaming services is the actor bios. Being able to see everything that an actor/actress has been in from the pause screen of the show/movie I’m watching if I want to see more. Then I can just add those to *arr from my phone.

Haven’t used stremio personally. Started with XBMC/Kodi. Plex is just better if you need to connect from multiple devices. And the *arr apps are a natural feeling progression to automate what I already know and have been doing.

No. Once I replace whatever part died, I’ll be able to restore everything important.

Yeah, that was one of the first troubleshooting steps. No errors. Also tried each stick individually. Confirmed the GPU is good as well. Ordered a new MB to try next.

Computer no longer works. 'E’s passed on! This PC is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E’s expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed 'im to the perch 'e’d be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E’s off the twig! 'E’s kicked the bucket, 'e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PC!!

I think going forward it’s Disney. So the 60th specials and the next season with Ncuti Gatwa as the Dr.

The newest episodes with Tennant are on Disney, most of the 2005 series is on max from what I understand.

If it’s not the GPU I’m almost positive it’s CPU or mobo. It’s hard locking anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. No heat issues.

I’ve fresh installed windows 10, 11 and tried pop os. Pop froze twice during install. Disconnected everything except the ssd, GPU and a single stick of ram. Update bios. Tried both sticks of ram individually in slot 2 where it’s supposed to go and slot 3, which still freezes and tells me I’m a dumb ass for not reading the manual for ram location. Tried installing windows on a hdd. Ram memetest86, sfc, ssd check through the bios etc.

Wish my CPU had onboard graphics to narrow that out, but I’ll try the old GPU I have. At that point I guess I could throw my CPU in the kids pc and see if there’s issues, but will probably just buy a mobo and see.

If I have to, I can canabilize the kids pc for parts. It’s my old ryzen 3600 and gtx 970. Trying to avoid doing that if I can.

It really is. Everyone splintering off to their own app is what got me back to it. Had Netflix, Hulu, max, Disney, prime and I think Apple plus or peacock for a while and I could never remember what service the shows I was watching were on. Opening up 4 streaming apps to find what I was watching the other day got tiresome. When it was mainly Netflix and Hulu I only pirated the few shows that were on like HBO that I wanted to see. Arr apps with plex is so nice in comparison.

I’ve thought about it. The NAS enclosures are pretty expensive though. And since I usually just run the server on my gaming pc I couldn’t justify the cost for another box when they fit in the pc just fine.

I’ll get the pc fixed. Pi is being used for pihole currently. Do you need a Nas to connect the pi to the hdd that have the video files? Been a while since I messed with the pi, but I don’t remember there being sata connections, or if there is, I have 3 hdd that would need to be connected.

I’m working on it. Pretty sure it’s down to CPU, GPU or motherboard. I have an old gtx 660 that I’m going to try. Then probably buy a new MB and see if that helps. Really hope it’s not CPU or GPU as they’re a 5900x and 2080Super. Not exactly cheap replacements.

How could hosting other people’s work and at most giving them a cut of the ad revenue be more expensive than

A. Paying for streaming rights to other people’s work. B. Creating your own works And C. Paying to host all of the above. ???

Unless you’re saying that the hours streamed from YouTube is so vastly more than any streaming service that it out costs all the other costs Netflix etc has in licensing and content creation.

I thought the same thing for 20+ years. A nice rice cooker is great though. Ours has a yumcarb setting that my wife likes, which has a separate basket with holes in it. Most of the starch leaks out of the rice and pools below it.

I imagine if it’s not disclosed clearly before you order, you can dispute it with your bank/cc company. If it is, and you still decide to give that company business, then I guess that’s on you.

Ps5 does have other stuff like checkerboard and dynamic resolution available though. Fact remains, control was almost a locked 60fps on pc, and locked at 30 with less impressive visuals on PS5. And I would bet it’ll be same for Alan. In that I could get better framerate while also having better visuals on my pc than which I would get on the ps5.

Control. Runs better, looks better on pc, compared to ps5.

Baldurs Gate 3. Main thing I’ve noticed, which may be a CPU issue is there’s a longer pause on the Ai’s turn on the ps5 sometimes. I have a 5900x on the PC, and playing in normal, whereas I’m playing tactician on PS5. So maybe the harder difficulty requires the CPU to think longer, or my cpu is just significantly better than the one in the ps5.

Edit. Pretty sure I was using the ryzen 3600 for control. 30fps with ray tracing on PS5, and while not a solid locked 60 on pc it was pretty close. Control is why I want Alan Wake 2 on pc, but I refuse to buy from epic.

Looking online, the 5700xt or 2070 are the closest match to the ps5.

I have 2080 super, which is probably a bit behind the 3070 and it pretty heavily out performs my ps5.

I’d rather spend $2 on diesel and free used oil than thousands replacing my fence constantly.
