Hi Ron, For your next media center build check out the Jellyfin. It's free software (community focused) and has privacy baked in. https://jellyfin.org/ Thanks, Joe On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 9:58 AM hammerron via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > I played around with the PLEX "app" the other day, I downloaded it from > the Ubuntu Software Center, and a PLEX app onto my Roku.

Urban planning software

by joshua.gage.stone＠gmail.com

Hey everyone! I've been taking interest in urban planning recently, and figured I'd like to try visualizing street layouts. I'd like to mock up roads, parking spaces, intersections, sidewalkes, etc, but I'm not sure where to start. As far as I'm aware, AutoCAD Civil 3D and SketchUp are fairly popular applications in the field, but I'm interested in something that's FOSS. Does anyone have suggestions? Looking forward to hearing from you all, and I hope you're all having a good start to the new year! - Josh

Yeah. I'm in Windows right now, but I think I run "service plexmediaserver restart" after installing an update, so "service plexmediaserver stop" would probably work.

Re: PLEX

Assuming Plex server hasn’t changed too much, last I was using it on Linux killing it didn’t damage it at all. I believe it is still called “plexmediaserver” I’ll have to check in the web interface if there is a more proper way to shut it down. > On Jan 3, 2021, at 12:04, hammerron via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > > thanks, Rich: another thing, I can get it to run fine, but can't figure out how to 'properly' shut it off > ...on line descriptions of how to do it do not match what I see here > > On 1/3/21 10:06 AM, Richard Klein via WLUG wrote: >> The server can ping databases to get cover art and synopses for your movies, but I'm pretty sure you can turn that off.

Very trivial, but anyone is curious I wound up putting Xumbuntu on the machine. It is not a speed demon but run smoothly. Ron

Re: PLEX

The server can ping databases to get cover art and synopses for your movies, but I'm pretty sure you can turn that off. I don't have a definitive answer, but I think that's the extent of access to files on your PC.

PLEX

by hammerron

I played around with the PLEX "app" the other day, I downloaded it from the Ubuntu Software Center, and a PLEX app onto my Roku. I had a movie file that I placed in a designated folder and could easily watch it on the TV through Roku. I seems like a very slick (works well, easy to use) system. My question to you all is, can anyone tell me about the privacy factors? Looking on line gives me conflicting information. Does running PLEX on my PC give that company potential access to anything on my PC? Ron

Web server & gallery & auto-backup

by Richard Klein

I'm looking for a replacement for Google Photos. I've gotten used to my mobile devices automatically backing up my photos to the cloud and then being able to share a link to those photos in places that have limited storage, such as free Slacks. I finally got off my butt and got my phone to backup photos to my Plex server, but I can't share a link to those photos on Slack. Also, the Plex app seems to be crashing on my tablet, but I haven't tried to troubleshoot that yet. I guess that means I should set up a web server. I don't see myself maintaining a full website; I mostly just want to archive and share my pictures. I'm running Debian. What specific packages do you guys like? -- Rich
