For a long time, almost since this site was established I’ve worked on the Contact Me form and always tried to keep an open mind and open inbox to queries and questions however a key aspect utilized by WordPress to use PHP to send messages in a similar fashion as email was simply not working, why specifically I’m still not sure. Finally I’ve made the switch over to use the server’s SMTP service to send mail opposed to the PHP function WordPress is automatically selected to send emails. Feel free to visit the Contact Me page and use the handy form to get in contact with me. I’ve tested the system and it does seem to be working great. I’ll try to respond as quickly as possible to your queries. Better late than never, LightSpeedTaco

I’ve been approached a few times by users that are having performance issues when playing back media and typically it seems that the issue(s) lie in the “Player” settings when viewing the server at Plex.tv. So to clarify I’ll be making a page similar to the signup guide but rather a guide to optimize the performance for your connection. UPDATE: Posted! Playback Optimization Have a good one, LightSpeedTaco

There we have indeed, Plex running on my Xbox One. I’m pleased to announce that the server was updated quick as lightning and is now compatible with the new Xbox applications. Enjoy! The official blog post at Plex.tv can be read here https://blog.plex.tv/2014/10/05/plex-xbox-one-xbox-360/ EDIT: I forgot to mention that this currently is only applicable to PlexPass users.

To a very special someone, in need of a heart. Congratulations today and get well quickly! You and your families will always be VIP Nobreaks Members. LightSpeedTaco

One of the larger ones I’ve ignored until now has been traffic scheduling which basically means I limit the traffic flowing in and out of my system where the server resides during what I can best guess to be “peak usage time” which is from 7AM to 12AM EST. During these hours I try to keep my personal network useage to a minimum in order to give priority and breathing room to users watching media on the server. Today I successfully implemented scheduling on all bandwidth intensive applications meaning you SHOULD receive crystal clear video and audio without much buffering during the above listed times. Other side of the coin is obviously that if you’re a night owl then you might be in some trouble. It depends on if I’m acquiring new data for the server and how intensely I am doing so. Lets see how this goes for a while. Please feel free to contact me regarding this and I’m sure we can get… Read More »Traffic Scheduling and What It Means to You
