Hello everyone, Just a quick note that tomorrow there will be a downtime window between the hours of 8 AM and 2 PM EST on August 2nd, 2018. We don’t anticipate requiring the entire window but would like to leave room for unexpected delays. The reason for this downtime is utility maintenance. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. – LightSpeedTaco

Hello everyone, After quite a bit of work I’ve managed to fully integrate the SyncLounge webapp and server into the dashboard domain seamlessly. Since the release of the HTTPS compatible/capable v2 beta of SyncLounge I have been working on figuring out an appropriate Apache configuration that allows for secure remote access via the LightSpeedTa.co domain while maintaining the quality of life aspects such as the “Invite” button which makes the process of joining rooms a breeze. I’m happy to announce that this work has paid off and we now have a fully functional installation of both SyncLounge’s webapp and server. If you’re unfamiliar with SyncLounge (formerly PlexTogether) please see their website here. Basically it’s like a private virtual movie theater. On the left sidebar there is a new link entitled “SyncLounge Tutorial” which will tell you everything you need to know to get going. Please bear in mind that this setup is still in beta and bugs may be encountered. If you are having difficulty with the process or encounter any errors, please do report them to us via the Contact Us” page. Head over to the dashboard or just click here and check it out today!

Ahoy everyone, It’s been quite some time since I’ve been able to put an update out here but I’ve tried to stay semi-active on Twitter which is located on the left sidebar for your convenience. Now that I’ve had a bit of downtime I was able to sit down and take care of a few loose ends and unfinished projects. First and foremost you may have noticed a change to the dashboard as we’ve update to the beta of Organizr v2 which has been fantastic to work with thus far. Some new features include… Single Sign On for the requests page (Ombi) A new look Better performance Along with all of the usual goodies like seeing whats being watched currently, what you’ve requested and it’s status, what’s coming down the pipes currently (50% working), and the schedule with color coded legend. I have also taken the time to actually fully rebuild the OS and migrate to a Ubuntu 18.04 installation with a brand spanking new Apache configuration which is much cleaner and efficient. I also took advantage of DigitalOcean’s new optimized droplets for a faster and smoother experience for everyone. Earlier today when traffic was very slow I updated PlexMediaServer… Read More »LightSpeedDashboard v2 | Sharing and User Caps | The Future
