07:39:01 PMUSSROVER mint is debian based
07:39:20 PMalpeck i thought Mint was Ubuntu
07:39:30 PMsr_wences Aerial tankers for drones!
07:39:48 PMUSSROVER Ubuntu also debian based
07:40:29 PMsr_wences Ubuntu is Debian based, ergo Mint is Debian based..

08:07:06 PMgpop7 Not here
08:07:09 PMsr_wences Actually, for Audio, I'm now using MinimServer and it is great! Especially for calssical music.
08:07:42 PMsr_wences I still use MiniDLNA for the video because it doesn't automatically i=pick up changes, but my videos rarely change.
08:08:31 PMlifetime i think its just "warming" up here. seems to be more stable now .. thanks
08:09:44 PMsr_wences I accidentally closed my window and now I can't get the feed back. wah!
08:10:21 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF, http://www.rasplex.com/ is a Plex Client for Pi
08:12:31 PMGoodGuy98 Pi 3's are $29.99 at MicroCenter
08:15:09 PMorangeman is show down
08:15:22 PMsr_wences Unless you're streaming blu-ray, a PI 3 is over-kill. I'm streaming mp4 of my ripped disks using a PI 1.
08:15:32 PMGoodGuy98 Working here orangeman
08:15:38 PMsr_wences cra-a-a-a-zy.
08:15:40 PMDonBatman Orangeman Working for me
08:15:44 PMorangeman not hear
08:15:54 PMgpop7 I only see the starter kit not the board itself for 29.99
08:16:00 PMorangeman I will refesh
08:16:31 PMsr_wences Orangeman - when you refresh, et us know if you get a splash screen that says something like "off the air"
08:16:37 PMsr_wences That's what I got.
08:16:47 PMGoodGuy98 We live a few miles from MicroCenter.... They usually sell the boards for $29.99
08:17:00 PMorangeman that correct
08:17:09 PMsr_wences Yep. I'm near the one in Cambridge MA and they are $30 there.
08:17:27 PMGoodGuy98 They had Pi Zeros in stock a few days ago.. I didnt get one myself
08:18:41 PMGoodGuy98 They had official PI 3 power supplies and official cases for Pi 3 also
08:18:45 PMorangeman still not working#
08:19:04 PMsr_wences orangeman - I think you're done for. like me.
08:19:56 PMsr_wences I'm just here for the witty banter.
08:21:21 PMsr_wences My PI 1 i running as MiniDLNA server and Google Cloud server and it is fine for that. I feed my Chromecast audio from that and I'm a happy camper.
08:23:37 PMsr_wences OK, Have to do the dishes. See you all next week! As Casey Kasem said, "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars." Actualy, we should have a contest - RobbieF needs a sign-off phrase.
08:26:54 PMgpop7 Same Cat5 time. Same Cat5 station. Keep on Net searching.
08:28:46 PMorangeman is the show still running as not see it
08:29:21 PMGoodGuy98 Plex can pre-transcode files as well
08:29:26 PMgpop7 Yes it is.
08:29:56 PMGoodGuy98 If I understand correctly, it can pre-process files
08:30:00 PMorangeman I am to get any show at all
08:30:29 PMgpop7 What browser are you using
08:30:51 PMgpop7 orangeman
08:31:12 PMorangeman internet expore for window 7
08:32:00 PMgpop7 Have you tried clear you cache in the browser
08:33:21 PMGoodGuy98 Look in Plex for Optimized Versions
08:33:43 PMGoodGuy98 I think that is what transcoding beforehand
08:33:52 PMorangeman I am Orangeman nickserv
08:34:01 PMDonBatman Great job Guys
08:34:03 PMgpop7 That was good.
08:34:23 PMDennis_Kelley hop hop
08:34:30 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF, https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/213095317-Creating-Optimized-Versions
08:34:35 PMalpeck great stuff/show guys

08:35:28 PMRobbieF I really AM a leprechaun!
08:35:33 PMJeffWeston night al
08:35:38 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF, I think that allows you to prepare the transcoding ahead of time
08:35:57 PMDonBatman RobbieF you can even spell it right!
08:36:01 PMorangeman did see all show as lot end bit roobbie
08:36:11 PMNateUK Great show as always RobbieF and JeffWeston
08:36:26 PMRobbieF thank you!!
08:36:39 PMorangeman i am dyslexic so don't be so judgment al
08:37:43 PMGoodGuy98 RobbieF - check if optimized version is available on the Pi Plex
08:38:40 PMGoodGuy98 It may be a bit behind the PC version.... Not sure if that feature is Plex Pass only or available in the free version
08:39:46 PMGoodGuy98 Great episode btw... I did not realize there was a Pi 3 version of Plex Server available
