Gone all Plex


I have been watching the development of PLEX for sometime and finally decided to instal and see if I could run my own media server for all the films, tv shows and music I have collected over many, many years. After a fairly simple setup, I had it up and running, then I got the buy the lifetime pass at a cheaper price email and went for it.

 Been running it now for a couple of months and I have to say I love the organization of all my files and the way it displays them all. I have two boys, so I have kids tv and kids movies access for my youngest. And teen movies for my eldest, plus a movie section for older viewing. Each son has his own account so it keeps track of what and where they are upto in any film or tv episode.
 As I said they also have a music section, though we don't listen to much music, I'm waiting for an audio book section to be added and then I will be so happy with this. Podcast have just been added, but at the moment I still use pocketcast app, so it might take a while to move over to plex for them..
 At the moment my plex service is running on my home pc which I don't want running all the time. This is phase one, phase two is getting a Raspberry Pi 3+ with plex installed and then this will become my server connected to my 4TB network drive. And phase 3 will be to replace the aging 4TB drive with 12TB raided network drive, though this will be sometime as pricings puts it around the £700 point.....

He wanted to do something to raise money for the charity that has help him and us with his recovery and understanding what has happened to him.  It was a cold Sunday morning in Blackpool for the run, but with a great turnout and friendly lot we had a warmup and before we knew it we were off. Was a little hard going for me as I haven't done much running in the last few year, but with my eldest son on my shoulder all the way talking about the latest game he is playing it wasn't long before we were on the way to the finish line. :)  Ryan, mum and dog came in not long after at very reasonable times and I am proud of them all for doing it. Eldest Son: 30mins. Me: 34mins. Ryan: 47mins. Mum and Kylo: 50mins. So far we have raised almost £400 with still a few cash donations still to come in. The link is st...
