Ominous Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So we just got ATSC here in the Detroit market, so now the major networks are broadcasting in HEVC rather than just MPEG2. I was excited hoping for less compression in sports and that sort of thing, not expecting them to broadcast anything in 4K....but for now at least it just means they can cut their bandwidth from 12 or so Mbps down to around 3 to 4 Mbps. Maybe now they can fit even more sub channels with movies from the 70s and 80s that nobody will watch! Anyone else in a market with ATSC 3 that has the equipment to view it experienced anything different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erehwon Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Sadly, I don't have it my area. It would be nice to have better reception or more channels for my grandfather. Looks like the nearest area to me that might get it is Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 According to this deployment map, it will be everywhere in NY by mid 2021 except where I live. Seems right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so few shows aired on over the air broadcast channels that I actually want to watch that it's easier for me to just torrent the handful of things I want. As a bonus, since I'm on the west coast, the fact that the torrent uploaders all use the east coast airing works out in my favor because of the time zone difference. I can generally be watching an 8 PM show by about 6:15 PM (as in, within about 15 minutes of the airing ending on the east coast). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Ominous I've set up a Plex server on my Raspberry Pi, and the Android app was initially able to see the content on the server but now can't, and the Windows application is telling me to get Plex media server... I've logged everything in to my Plex account and I'm kind of at a loss for what's happening. I am able to see and play the content in the direct IP connection from my browser on the Windows side.

Hmmm. Are you able to connect to outside servers? Shoot me your plex name and I can give you access to my server to see if you have issues connecting there. Is the browser you are connecting to on the same pc as the server? If it is, and you can connect on another device, I wonder if your router is blocking ports or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Jasoncan you connect via your phone to Plex APP.PLEX.TV ? Does your server show as visable outside your network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm seeing right now: I'm especially confused because like I said, I was briefly able to see the content via the Android app. I just set this up and everything is on the same network. This is what I see in the Windows app: And the Android app: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @Ominous go figure, logging out and back in on the Android and Windows apps did it. Hopefully that's it and it doesn't recur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I'm not going to pay for away-from-network access until I'm able to travel again, but once that happens, in terms of security is there anything to be particularly aware of, or is just setting everything up through Plex enough?

Yea, I believe they offer it through several different choices, but I already use it for a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
