I had a medical issue yesterday. Which lead me to the Emergency Room. I was in the middle of doing something on linux prior to going to the hospital. I was setting up a network share. sudo mount -a worked initially but broke on a restart (today). So I had to enter emergency recovery mode and remove the fstab. It was an easy fix. I forgot to install cifs-utils. After I installed cifs-utils, it restarted fine with the fstab entry.
Hey, @Argone can I request a new feature to this?
Can you keep editing the first post, with like-
Bugs:
- a
- b
- c
and if you find them
solution to a
solution to c
So I have ssh running with all the proper keys. Fantastic!
New bug and issue list I have had. Second post is now designated the bug and and issue reply.
Anyone got any ideas, on how to re-enable a display in popos? It says I canāt enable them after disabling due to hardware limitationsā¦
Not necessarily
Do they not provide a Debian package on their download page?
This is standard. Particularly if the output is HDMI. I believe you can change this with pulse.
Are you using network manager or systemd networkd
No they do not.
About the amd drivers. I tried force installing the amd drivers for ubuntu 20.04lts. it broke my install. I couldnāt install anything via apt after that. I had to enter recovery mode and uninstall all the packages i had installed previously.
I did this. But it is extra annoying tinkering.
network manager.
This might helpā¦
You donāt need them. What reason do you need to run AMD GPU PRO?
You are aware you do not need them as they do not yield performance boosts save in niche professional software cases right?
There is an expression we use on the Foss community. Embrace the jank. Its both good and bad
Seems they do
You seem to not understand. I need a media player app. To support direct play. Not the server deb. I prefer to direct play/stream to allow for non transcoding irl of content. It is under apps and devices. I already have the plex server running.
Iāve been able to use DLNA with VLC for that. Iāve always used Kodi and yield no transcoding.
However I long since switched away from Plex. I canāt speak for the music oriented development its had for a year or two now.
However is transcoding taxing your server? Most Plex servers have the ability to handle a few streams?
No. But I already pre transcoded it to preserve space and bandwidth. i.e. h264 to h265. If it does transcode it is going back to h264. All while increasing network bandwidth use. i.e. going from 10mbps h265 to 20mbps h264. Especially for access outside my lan it is an issue. I got the xbmc version of the app working on linux with wine. But the newer apps dont support windows 7 so it is an issue. I am running on the pre 2020 software for it.
Lol you made a grave error doing that transcoding my dude
A lot of devices donāt widely support all h265 hevc formats.
Transcoding would have to happen for silly things like 4:2:2 or not being able to handle 4:4:2
You likely should have left it h264 as a person who has been in your exact shoes
As for clients that can do this. Iām not entirely sure. I knew I was able to with DLNA and VLC but Iām not sure Kodi is the same way. You will need to tinker around a bit
Wait you are running xbmc in wine? On Linux?
Xmbc became kodi
Not really. My family that watches off my plex have no issues. They all use direct play and have no issues.
So why is it an issue that you canāt direct play on your desktop? Iām not fully understanding the problem and forgive me if it seems a bit āfirst worldā.
As for direct play Kodi aka modern xbmc (none wine) has a plugin and as long as you have libx265 you should be able to direct play
I think its called kodiplexconnect or something similar
A quick search confirmed this
Because windows and mac have a native app. Linux does not. The one problem you have with plex is that watching via the browser, it doesnāt support direct play. With linux without wine, you have no option for native app like found on windows and mac. Browsers donāt support it.
Am I speaking English? Legitimately I think Iāve said the below three times now friend.
Yes of course there isnāt a native āappā. They donāt care to develop one because the open source community already made one. Its the plex add-on for Kodi
My point is, you responded to my issue part of the topic. To me it is an issue with linux. A feature I had working with windows or mac easily is not even in the realm of possibility for linux. You started this convo, i just was stating why it is an issue for me on linux. Direct play is not easily achievable on linuxā¦ That is all.
My roku, chromecast, and nvidia shield support it. I am thinking about getting a second shield to solve this problem.
I never said you didnāt say it. You just said for one h265 is hard to play. You also asked why canāt I play it on linux. I said because there was no native app; browser only. You also said I made a mistake with transcoding. Not the case. I had a full nas, now I am 50% full vs 100% full.
Iām now entirely confused
Is this a client issue or a Plex server issue
If its the latter well thatās trash on Plex part because emby and jellyfin both have direct play support on Linux without apps (you can use whatever client and even Firefox for direct play) and some how part of me doubts that Plex will not. Iāll have to dig in and really get into the details on my own time
If that pans out to be true then its not an issue with Linux, its an issue with plex which sucks and Iām sorry thatās occuring
100% client issue. Not plex server.
You can defend linux. But I know the issues, lack of software support by many companies. Because people are afraid of linux. Which leads to no development. Which is an issue with people being afraid, developers not developing/porting.
