  • For straight Plex stuff I use an AppleTV since I actually own and encode all my own media from disc for my server. So the formats are all the same and optimized for that device. No transcoding required(not even for subtitles).

    This is use case specific… I wanted something that would play 4K disc rips without losing anything. So I picked up a AM6B+ streaming box. Flashed coreElec and loaded the Dolby vision stuff in and use Kodi. That allows me to play 4K disc rips straight from the folder with all features (Dolby Vision profile 7 full enhancement layer) and all audio formats (Atmos/DTS:X, etc). I control it with a K400 Plus wireless keyboard. Since this is still Kodi you can load a Plex plugin and pull content from there no problem.

    More setup Info(sorry Reddit link).

    Kodi recognizes my DV display and the receiver is picking up Atmos no problems.








  • Just FYI all the Tesla cars to my knowledge need power for the doors to open because the handles aren’t physically attached to the door mechanism. They’re all electronic. If you own one of these cars I highly advise you to read the manual and find out where the mechanical door releases are(they’re somewhat hidden).

    Another fun fact and this isn’t exclusive to Tesla. If you pay attention when you open the door the window retracts a tiny bit to clear the weatherstripping. If you have no power that can’t happened. What is unique to Tesla as far as I can tell is that their weatherstripping isn’t as large/pliable as other manufacturers or maybe it’s just the assembly. Using the mechanical release with power still retracts the window. In the event the battery is dead or damaged from an accident using the mechanical release requires breaking the window. That means the door is significantly more difficult to open.
