Can y'all download from me - not that I have a lot of stuff but still curious. Also, how many of my plex servers do you see?

You probably couldnt set it up until I accepted your invite. I have accepted and set you up.

So how are y'all doing "sync"? I feel like it worked for 1 movie but has stopped for any others.

Hog, can you sync or is it causing you problems?

i'd like to try this. i haven't ventured outside of my personal server; what is the experience of sharing someone else's plex server?

Surprisingly fast I felt like, last evening. I was streaming Cinderella (the 1950 version) from Beau's Plex server last night and it maybe took 5-10 seconds to load but then I was good and no buffering. Need to test it more but I was pleasantly surprised.

No idea how fast his internet is though and I didn't wanna bog him down so I stopped pretty quickly. I can invite you as a friend but I have 8 movies currently. Beau has 7000+.
What's your plex account name and I'll invite if you just wanna test pulling a few kids movies from my server. If you want real content you probably wanna get with beau and invite.

I think you can do email address or there's just a generic name that's your account name.

just sent you an invite. My collection is nothing, right now, but at least you can try and see how fast a movie is from my plex server.

I have a Hauppage TV tuner plugged into my nVidia Shield but I think it's the wrong model. I really wanna try the Plex Live TV and DVR feature out but it's proving to be a little tricky. Does anyone use that?!

No simply because if you have an alternative method of getting stuff, its pretty instant from a seedbox so no need to store any dvr stuff. I can just watch when i want to then delete. Thats the case for my situation.

Na, I won't. I'm actually not interested in streaming through plex, simply trying to build my library up at the moment.

So I currently have Plex Pass. I think that allows me to "sync" but not sure how well that's working from yours or beaus account to mine.

Is there another way of grabbing from your library? I've tried Beau's extension method but it doesn't always work, it appears.
