Plex 100% yes for all your media.. I bought 2 roku ultras just so we could access it with ease now ALEXA does my bidding...

Jesus, does no one remeber having to squint your eyes and tilt your head in real time on the scrambled cinemax?

Pausing DVDs in the late 90's to early 2000's? We had the internet gramps. Heck, one kid I went to high school with amassed an impressive 5GB collection over 28.8kbps.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Today's poor kids and streaming video
I like Plex as well. A lot of the streaming services are solely focused on keeping you focused in so you watch more.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Today's poor kids and streaming video
That pisses me off so much I could spit. We often notice little tidbits; we go back and stop at the time, but we can't see what we're looking for b/c the screen is cluttered with all sorts of other stuff overlayiong what we're trying to look closer at. Are you and us the only ones this ticks off? No! Please say no! bp On 1/24/2021 2:53 PM, Nate Burke wrote: Am I the only one that's annoyed when you pause a video stream, they dim the screen and pop up other information.

People stream? My homeowners insurance just denied covering our VHS/DVD/TV combo which damaged in a power surge due to it being an antique. :( > On Jan 24, 2021, at 5:55 PM, Nate Burke wrote: > > Am I the only one that's annoyed when you pause a video stream, they dim the > screen and pop up other information.
