  • I’m actually just about to start up my server again on a rp4. It’s been like 5 years since I’ve used it. Is dietpi still the best way to go about making a Plex media server/bare bones desktop environment that I can access with ‘no-machine’?

    I sear no machine just broke my autoboot setup one day and I never got around to fixing it. What do you nerds think?

    I’m not interested in video streaming, just hosting my music collection and audiobooks. I remember FTP being a pain to transfer music files from my phone











  • Here is what I do: I use a firetv with Kodi, Plex, Smart tube Next (free YouTube), and various live TV apps. That’s it!

    Unfortunately there is zero way to disable the home screen in order to run a custom desktop environment and there is zero way to replace the Netflix, primetv, DirecTV, etc. buttons on the remote.

    Seems like every year it gets harder and harder to change settings on the TV and all the things I just mentioned not being able to do used to be things you could hack together.

    It sucks!
