Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I’m watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn’t make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.

Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I’m now thinking to switch to something else.
Great, I’ll repost, thanks. What’s a mesh network btw?
Emby sounds interesting, thanks.
Thanks. I couldn’t get plex to run from ‘off site’, it was probably something that I wasn’t doing properly.
I’m not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.
Leather strop for sharpening
I’m genuinely curious here - really? As someone who always has to mess with the old fashioned ‘steel’ (mind your hands cus there’s no guard on it!) sharpener, are they better? Honestly, heard of them, never used but interested.
Funny, but I see soo many kids walking to school with their worldly belongings in their back packs! Worse is they’re hanging soo low - at least get a hip strap. Life lessons I guess. In my day we had lockers in the school.
Now, a Sony Bravia - what size and price may I ask ? And how difficult is it to remove all the shit ad functionality from it ?
I’ve had my 32" for like 8 years but definately looking for the same quality piece of kit.
Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I’ll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍
Try this in the ‘do it yourself’ group. It’s got some great users and advice.
Good luck.
I’m dreading replacing my dumb tv, but can confirm that the nvidia shield was the best thing I ever bought for entertainment: just sideload your apps and off you go.
Take the cable out of the tv, plug it into your android box and hdmi to the tv.
Can recommend STN, cloudstream and plex.
Good luck.
Hi, on f-droid there’s an app called Android Samba Client but I can’t get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can’t find a lot of documentation about it.
Have you seen this?
I’m hoping that it’s not connecting because of something I’m doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).
If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn’t seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.
Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it’s using smb V2 to connect.
So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn’t a pipe dream. It’s now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.
So, I’ll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.
Thanks again for taking the time.
I’m thinking maybe mount as you say using Xplore and bring in Syncthing to move the file across onto the server. Thanks for the idea.
Who gives a fucking shit about x fucking twitter? - let’s hope it crashes along with reddit !
PS cross post all the good stuff onto lemmy first - then just let it burn and sink!
That’s a fucking ridiculous loss of human lives - irrespective of the side they’re fighting - shame! Fucking wake up these people and just stop killing each other !
Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.
I’m currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it’s not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.
Good luck with your search.
Thanks for the link - I’ll definitely look into it.
I only ever lurked on Reddit and here on Lemmy I’m trying to be more of an active participant.
Same here, and now I’m soo glad that I jumped that shit ship.
Can you elaborate on this please - what’s passthrough and dts?
I have a shield - can I use it as a server, or is it just a client?
