UPS Failure

Hello everyone, Some bad news today. It seems that one of the two uninterruptible power supply units has been acting up and subsequently failed this morning on 2018-12-15 11:29:22 (EST). Typically things would keep on chugging along on the one remaining and the systems would remain functional for the most part, this UPS unit carried the load of one of the main switches as well as the modem necessary to maintain access externally and subsequently caused 5 hrs and 9 mins of downtime across all services. This comes as a decent disappointment as the unit in question is relatively new. Currently the unit is functional and will be monitored however it will most likely need to be replaced. As usual, if you wish to assist in the equipment replacement, you can find our donation like on the homepage on the left to donate via PayPal or reach out to me for other methods of contribution to be arranged. Lastly, I will apologize for this unforeseen and ill timed (weekend) incident and hope the inconvenience caused was not too substantial. -LightSpeedTaco

Requests Update

Hello everyone, Just a quick update in regards to the utilization of the requests system. Up until now, we were unable to take requests for anime via the requests system however now that support for multiple root folders in the Ombi requests script we can now automatically differentiate between anime requests and regular TV show requests without any need for user interference. You can also now subscribe for notifications as if you made the request if an item you’d also like to see on the server has already been requested. Look for the three bars in the top right corner of movie requests and the subscribe button on TV/Anime requests. The speed and performance as well as the level of configuration possible via the latest version offers such perks as mobile app compatibility which is an early access app in the Google Play Store that I myself have found quite useful. As always you can find the latest link to the requests page on the dashboard. Enjoy! – LightSpeedTaco

Scheduled Downtime Tomorrow

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

SyncLounge Now Live | Tutorial Available

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!
