Plex and Emby both have DLNA servers. Those would be options since you said you don't care about metadata.

Also you can setup your iOS to run Kodi with the Emby plugin for Kodi, and you can watch your library without a premium subscription even with the benefits of metadata, and transcoding. I did this with my Android tablet just yesterday, but it's probably a bigger pain in the rear end with iOS.

No, it doesn't require a subscription. That's only for syncing to the iOS device for offline watching. No subscription is needed for streaming on your local network.

Oh, yeah it wasn't really clear because I just downloaded the ios app and was 1) confused why I needed to make an account just to stream videos from my computer to my phone locally and 2) why it asked me to buy a $5 subscription after I created said account.

There's a Plex megathread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3620605 but no, you don't need an account or subscription for local streaming.

ed: for iOS, anyway- some other platforms are different.

Not sure what platform you're on but I've never had any limits in iOS. But enough derail, that's a question for the Plex megathread.

Ok, this is a weird problem, I have never experienced this one before. When I go to Couchpotato at domain.com:5050 I get the proper login screen; when I enter the credentials it instantly goes back to the login screen. When I go to the actual IP:5050 it works properly and logs in. I verified the password is correct by checking the settings.conf file, I use keepass so It's not like I'm forgetting it either way.

I'd really like to figure this one out since I'm in the process of setting up https for all my of my Usenet poo poo. Sabnzbd works fine, Sonarr works fine. Couchpotato is being a little pain in the rear end for some reason.

Just for the record I tried to stream a thing via Plex to my phone this morning and it told me I could only use it as a remote unless I either subscribe monthly for pay $5 for the app. Instant delete.

Totally right, high quality software that can transcode your material on the fly and organize it behind the scenes and fetch metadata and subtitles and everything else should be free. Stick it to the man!

:ironicat: in the Usenet thread. That being said, $5 for the app was money well spent (I use it on my phone and iPad). Was going to pay for the subscription, but the the Roku app went gold and I don't need any of the other "perks" that come with Plex plus.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does the CouchPotato Safari extension work for anyone? I can't get it to install. It asks if I trust it and when I click yes nothing happens. Restarted Safari, rebooted, tried manually placing the extension in the extension folder, and I'm successfully able to install and uninstall other extensions. And when I try to use their Javascript menu bar applet instead, the little popup displays wrong and the dropdown fields and save button are displayed offscreen so I can't actually click on anything.

Turns out this is a bug in El Cap Safari where the "Trust" button in the dialog box is broken. If you follow this link:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7254177?tstart=0

You'll get instructions on how to activate the Trust button using accessibility settings with the keyboard and then it'll install fine. The other extensions I use are from the Apple extension galleries and those installed fine for some reason. Hope this helps someone else!

Wow what the gently caress. I've never had Sabnzbd gently caress up this badly before.

I have to socks 5 tunnel to interact with Sabnzbd entirely. It wont serve on 8080 at all. Pyopenssl and openssl refuse to recognize despite both being installed long before I installed sabnzbd. Then when I go into the config menu the Sabnzbd image misaligns and pushes down the header bar to overlap the top of the configuration area.

WTF? The RC were solid as gently caress on a prior computer.

Well I figured out that the pyopenssl and openssl was my distro's fault. Sabnzbd wants specifically python 2.# and Arch has split python 2 off into it's own separate packages. Still can't figure out how to get the webserver running.

Now that sabnzbd 1.0 Final is out, would you choose it over nzbget if:

1) You were doing it from scratch

2) You already had sab 7.20/1.0 running?

Interested to hear your thoughts.

I tried both and ended up going with sabnzbd because it had proper file association support. I could download a .nzb and open it with sabnzbd and it would go into my queue. Unless it has recently changed with NZBGet, you could not do that. You either fiddled with the UI to import the .nzb, or you set up a watch folder and copied the .nzb file into it. It seems like a small thing to worry about, but both programs were pretty identical to me so I chose the one that played better in certain circumstances.

Even if they switched from the Plush theme to Glitter I still know how to navigate Sabnzbd better. It handles the downloading just fine. Sickbeard on the other hand was slowly falling behind it's competitor projects so I ditched it. The failed download handling alone was worth the switch away. Far as I am aware, there is no huge difference in capability between NZBGet and Sabnzbd as it was for Sickbeard vs Sonarr. Also the Nzbget UI looks like total rear end.

This may be beyond the scope of the thread but I'll ask anyway. What torrenting programs are people pairing with Sonarr and Couchpotato? There are a few things that just don't get released to Usenet in a timely fashion that I'd like to scrape and download via Torrenting.

It's still there. You just have another option now.

Edit: I like the expanded info on the main screen when you click on a download. Tells you more info than it did in previous versions, the one in particular I like is it tells you which servers it used and how much it downloaded through it. :allears:

Plush wasn't removed, it's just not the default. If you have an old install where you were still using Plush, you get a one-time popup recommending the new theme and that's it. In 1.0 we did, however, remove the "classic" skin because it was ancient and we couldn't be bothered updating it with all the new features.

All is well then. I guess the old classic one was about ready for retirement.

When I do get around to upgrading I should probably give the new look another fair try to see how it's ended up. Think I read you have a dark version too now, which will certainly help for the eyes.

Besides how white it was, I think my main problem was either less information being shown than in Plush, or that I couldn't figure out how to do certain tasks. Seeing as I can't really remember what it was I should most definitely give it another go... Might just have been baby duck syndrome for all I know.

I haven't used SAB in a bit now but I spent a long time switching between it and NZBGet on my Macbook and NZBGet consistently ran way smoother. That might not be the solution you want, but if you haven't tried it I'd give it a look.
