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.

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! 👍

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.

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.

Why is it a pain? I’ve used it for some time and it just does the job.

Thanks for the reply. I like obsidian at the moment: I can sync across all my devices - using Syncthing, so it’s very workable for me. I guess whichever editor works for you is good - though I must admit obsidian is a bit too overloaded for me, but I’ll persist as the Syncthing works well. I’ll try to simplify it with minimal plugins.

Also I have plain text editor and I have a txt file shared with my computer

Hi, can you share the name of your plain text editor? I use aCalendar+ and opentasks synced via davx5 on Nextcloud.

Yeah, I’d actually made a comment on that thread (duh). I guess before I realised how good / useable Syncthing was.

Edit: grammar

Yeah, gotta admit to jumping back onto it a few times - purely because of the wealth of information. But I do have to agree with you that the quality of chat seems to be declining.

Lemmy is definately a better quality place to be, but if people don’t post - only to a fraction of communities, it’s in danger of becoming too focused on just a few topics.

What I don’t understand is: some niche communities started getting interest, then the interest waned - did people leave, did they go back to reddit (and why after leaving) or did they find a better place to go (if so where)?

I’m sticking with lemmy for now - with fingers crossed!

Just to clarify then: you use a home server - are you running Syncthing on Linux?

So, if I have an old laptop (win10) would I need to learn linux to use it as an home server - and could it use minimal power when it’s always on? The power thing is an issue here in UK.

I have a nvidia shield for the tv, is that a possibility for a server - I go run plex on it?

These might sound to you like daft questions, but I’m just learning stuff. Thanks.

Not sure if this will help you stick with orgzly, but it synced very well with Nextcloud. Must admit Nextcloud was easy, so didn’t need to manually sync it any other way.

Hope you find what you’re looking for though.

That sounds really cool. I currently sync obsidian via a hosted solution on Hetzner using webdav. I’m wondering if I might be able to utilise it somehow as you have - maybe I won’t need to intervene as much.

Thanks for the advice.

Does your method use cloud storage? If not, can you please explain to me just how it works across multiple devices?

Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
