It's an improvement on established technology. The "healthy" angle is that it has a drip tray. For some reason that has more marketing potential than: cooks quicker, with less energy, and a smaller device.

The ones that pay are the ones running the ads. If the content creators have to pay, they will be the ones doing ads. This is how AV content has worked since the dawn of broadcast radio.

If you're good at what you do, it's not hard at all. Doesn't even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It's wonderful but it's a doozy of a price you pay

You are conflating copyright and patents. Copyright is protection for the expression of an idea, like the art design. This is a patent issue, which is a protection of how something works.

If somehow I patent a vague mechanic like "a method of selecting weapons with the directions of an analogue stick or mouse, presented as an 8 direction on screen circle." Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.

Usenet-curious, will I find a treasure trove of reality tv? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for things like Amazing Race (all the spin-off countries), Survivor, Gladiators, Ninja Warrior, etc.

If I dip my toe into the Usenet thing, will I find this sort of stuff? Do I have to look in a certain spot? By this I mean do different servers tend to store different styles of catalogues, or do they network like a P2P system?

Apologies if I'm not making sense, I don't really know the correct jargon.

Is the anyway to create a TV playlist based on the airing order? (lemmy.world)
 

Is there a way to automatically create a playlist of more than 2 shows in broadcast order.

For instance, shows like Stargate (or I think Arrow/Flash/Supergirl) have alternating episodes. I really don't want to do it by hand; my Stargate playlist will have over 300 items.

Can I mix movie files and series files together? and more questions... (lemmy.world)
 

Mixing Movies and TV: Stargate started with a feature film. Then a bunch of TV shows. Then some of the TV shows had TV movies.

At the moment I've just named the TV movies seasons 11, 12, 13. This fixes that specific instance, but doesn't allow me to put the feature film first (naming something season 0 creates a specials season). What about the X-Files? Seasons 1-5, movie, 6-8, movie. How would you fit that in to one section?

Documentaries: I've got a bunch of stuff. Some are traditional cinema movies, some are series, some are mini-series, some are TV shows. How can I have one library called "Documentaries"?

Collections: Collections are great. Can I keep them separate to the movies/TV? I don't think I want them in with the movies themselves. Can I mix and match movies and TV in a collection?

Concurrent Series: Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis overlapped seasons 8-10/1-3. Can I make a watch order collection? Have them in the broadcast order in one list? Including the movies?

Thank you. Plex is great.

Getting ready to set up my Plex, have a few questions... (lemmy.world)
 

I really want to get started.

I have a big library of files on a HDD. I will run it off my home computer, and it will be exclusively for my home network.

Question 1: Is it fine to run my desktop computer as a server and a client? I don't actually know how Plex works yet, so I may be describing it wrong. Currently I watch things on my Desktop Computer. I want to continue this but through Plex instead of just using VLC. If I do add more clients, only one will be viewing at a time. I do have a Raspberry Pi available, but was hoping to use it as a client at a later time instead of a server,

Question 2: Can I scan my media folder in Plex to get started, and then later rescan my Plex library after I rename files? I haven't reorganised all my files yet, a lot of them should be fine but I don't have time to do it all now. Some of them I may never bother renaming or reorganising. I don't mind Plex having to do all the posters and stuff again.

Question 3: What does Plex do for the re-encoding? I think I read that Plex encodes the video files. Does this create new files on the HHD? My drive is pretty full. I don't have enough space for duplicates in another codec. Does this process replace the files? Will I have to have my Plex drive only contain converted videos? Is there a process to encode from my storage drive to my Plex drive without disturbing my storgate drive? Space is at a premium and I don't want to risk Plex altering my media on my storage drive.

Thank you.
