Hello everyone, Following the recent metadata agent migration to the newer standard Plex uses may have caused some of your watch history and progress to be either lost or out of sync with where you may remember it being last. An unfortunate side affect to the migration but a small price to pay in the end. It’s not that an attempt wasn’t made to bring through the existing watch history which is still archived and available to me; several attempts were made, in the end unsuccessful nonetheless. Given the sheer volume of data in the SQLite database Plex uses to manage everything is quite a cumbersome file to say the least. Some losses are inevitable but still you have my apologies. During the above migration, at some point, the requests system became very confused with the changes occurring en mass with regards to metadata for all the media it index from Jellyfin and Plex respectively. As such, the super convenient buttons in the requests page that, once your media is added to the server successfully, provides a link directly to the media server page to view the request depending on your account, the choices being a Jellyfin account or a… Read More »Plex Metadata Changes | Watch History | Requests<->Media Server Status

Hello (there (everyone)), It’s been a considerable amount of relative radio silence on my end. Fortunately, I have been able to take some much needed time to dedicate towards making some changes I’ve either had in mind or had already had started implementing at some point up until now. For a considerable amount of time, I’ve been aware of and attempting to come up with a solution to the inescapable issue of maintaining available storage space. While the full size of the array is indeed nothing to sneeze at, this is not enough to sustain indefinitely, it is enough to allow for a sizable buffer of floating free storage space that would be used as requests require. Some of our very early users will recall a time of great plenty in which the requests system was not bound by any form of limit, be it an entire TV series years in the making, a single season, a single episode or an entire movie franchise, all were free to request to their hearts’ content. Eventually, as the number of users increased, requests became overwhelming and unmanageable, hence the limitations being initially introduced. This was at a time when the systems in… Read More »Been a while | Good News

Hello everyone, If you were using the server when this occurred a few minutes ago you’ll have gotten a message before the temporary outage for the finalization of the storage array expansion. I am pleased to inform you all that your request limits have changed to 5 movies and 50 TV episodes per week. This will likely increase again, once I finalize the script that will remove content left un-watched for more than a specific number of days which is yet to be decided upon. The goal will be more or less unlimited requests with the media being pruned automatically so if you left something un-watched for too long, it will be deleted but can likely be added once again via requests as with most media. That’s all for now, enjoy! -LST

Good day everyone, No, you’re not in the wrong place, we’ve just moved. This is part of that ongoing effort I mentioned some weeks ago to kind of bring together the various bits and pieces so to say of the network created over these years a bit closer together and more centralized. As you can probably guess, the goal is to centralize around the Lightspeedta.co domain and make use of the Wildcard aspect of our SSL certificate. You should find everything to be the same just with the new URL which was chosen as Nobreaks.ca was always intended as a development blog more than anything initially and it was something I definitely wanted to preserve and maintain. If you have any issues including something I somehow missed during relocation like the contact us page not co-operating, the old inbox will still work but going forward will deposit form entries to my domain specific email address. Secondly, the storage array has been expanding for weeks now. It’s one of the downfalls of the setup I’ve chosen to employ from the filesystem type to the RAID hardware utilized, perhaps it could have been done differently but in the interest of as much… Read More »We’ve Moved! | More Storage, Ahoy!
