On: Microsoft’s New Patent Identifies Pirated Content: Flags Repeat Offenders

Upvote for Plex. Setting up a Plex box in my house was astonishingly easy and we now use that more than Netflix.

I had been hearing about Plex for a while and when I bought a Seagate Personal Cloud drive, I decided to give it a try.

I like it. I have moved a lot of media to it and I can watch it all at my convenience from multiple devices or computers in my house.

I have young children and after they destroyed several of the kid-movie DVDs I gave them, this was a godsend.

I've noticed Plex has stopped working with my TVs. It's kinda a bummer that the only help, that those on forums are willing to give is "buy a better TV". Is spending another 700 bucks really a tenable solution?

It's not a great solution, but there are several "streaming sticks" like the Roku, Chromecast, or FireTV for less than $50 you can buy and plug into your current TV.

Apple TV Gen 4 has a Plex app that works extremely well. Still $130 to put down but you also get all the other things it does.

Yep, only issue I have is that I now forget my netflix series because when I go to plex, my progress with those series isn't tracked or shown.

plus if you I guess do want to pirate, sonarr and radarr are freaking amazing to have a long with a plex server.
