I'm running into issues streaming very large uncompressed 4K movies from my M2 Mac Mini to Plex on my AppleTV
  • Do you think you could post a picture of the exact error message? Also you could check the Plex logs through the web app and you should see the exact error and what component caused it. If I had to take a guess, I'd say your uncompressed movie has something that's causing the server to transcode (TrueHD audio or a forced HDMV subtitle stream) and the transcoding process is failing.

  • When happy teams are an issue
  • We switched to a different tool that's developed by the same company I work for, and there has been nonstop complaining about it ever since. Jira might not be the best tool, but it's better than the alternatives by miles.

    Also technical shit posting on Confluence is just the best. (I don't like Atlassian, I just want to go back to Jira)

  • best device for avoiding transcoding?
  • If you want to avoid transcoding entirely, a Nvidia Shield is probably your best bet as it supports a few more audio codecs and HDMI passthrough that an Apple TV doesn't support. That being said, the Nvidia Shield is both more expensive and older than an Apple TV. I would argue that an Apple TV has a better overall experience with third party apps, newer hardware, more up-to-date OS, whereas a Shield works best for Plex/jellyfin.

    I bought a Nvidia Shield first to replace a Smart TV and Steam Link and was pretty disappointed with my overall experience. I ended up biting the bullet and getting an Apple TV and the only issue I've had is that now TrueHD streams are getting transcoded.

    Of course, your experience and desires are probably different so would just suggest looking around for what works best for you.

  • Hong Kong is building public housing on a golf course in a snub to the old elite
  • There's a somewhat rinky-dink course in my hometown that's pretty cheap but still nice. It was pretty fun to go in the evening and walk nine holes where you get a good but easy exercise with some nature to it.

    Trying to find that same experience away from my hometown has been a challenge. The sport is too damn expensive!
