I don’t really understand exactly how this works. If anyone would be so kind to add me to their server so I can start to get the hang of this I would greatly appreciate it. I absolutely will return the favor. My username is chad.s86.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I've been hesitant to reply in these threads, but if there is a long-time user who cares to swap invites I'd be up for it.

Same.

I'm heavy on Music, light on Movies comparatively.

I might be willing to hook some of y’all up including the OP since their account isn’t new. I don’t think anyone on here has a larger server than I do.

Let me know if you are still interested and I will see if I have room. I hate Plex only allows you to add 100.

am i already on your plex? i dont doubt you..but i have a pretty good library and in particular, music so curious how large yours is.

i do delete shite that i don't like so i don't always keep everything just for the sake of having a full library.

plex needs to overhaul their 'user profiles' section. should be a much more streamlined way to add users and limit their library access without them having to create plex accounts.

that's funny. usually when i have to remove people i look for people who haven't been active for a year. the good news is i could always remove donka doo balls first if necessary.

You two going to answer the question on how large your server is? I'm curious how my collection stacks up.

I have over 13,000 songs(nothing new from the last 10 or so years and I don't even use it to listen to them anymore as Pandora is easier), 1200 movies, and 60 tv shows, although i've deleted a good bit of shows and need to delete more as there's no point in having them if they are on Prime or D+ and aren't all that rewatchable. Most of my tv shows are older sticoms like Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, King of Queens, Raymond, Cheers, Brady Bunch, Gilligan, etc, and then the HBO/Apple/Paramount shows.


And no i'm not sharing my Plex as i don't have a powerful enough server to support mulitple streams at a time. I use a crappy desktop and have a backup server which is a Nvidia Shield connected to a NAS. And thd Sheild has been giving me tons of issues as the disk space keeps filling up and i have to clear the cache on it constantly for Plex to work on it. I literally don't have any other apps on the Shield but the Plex Server. I've deleted or stopped every other app on the thing.

I haven't checked my movie count recently but I try to keep it culled somewhat. If I hate a movie I'm watching it goes straight into the trash when I'm done. Screw my users. I AM GOD.

Pandora? You're joking right? I am regrowing my music library after Google fricked me a few years ago but it's all mine and all lossless and if you don't share my tastes in music GTFO of my music folder.

I love my TV show collection. I am always looking for better quality rips of classic 80s and 80s shows like moonlighting, Miami vice, Magnum PI, baa baa Black sheep, etc. I have a ton of great tv i haven't even had time to watch yet but it's nice knowing it's there.

My server isn't the most powerful either but at some point I'll upgrade the hardware.

I prefer these older TVs to anything recent.
