The developer has chosen to not list it publicly, but if you DM me your github account email I can request access.

When I was just out of college and on my own, I spent so much time hanging out in home theater stores, just dreaming. For about a year and a half, this DVD was glued into every demo room DVD player on repeat.

The cost difference is real. So is the effort difference. You're going to rip 10 discs tonight that you've already likely price shopped, obviously either traveled somewhere to purchase or waited for someone to deliver them to you. I'm going to click a button before dinner and watch a movie after...

I've long since left the heavy-duty PLEX installation behind for Kaleidescape, though I still maintain it for DVR and some rarities.

I have a lifetime pass. They have sales frequently. I think I paid $99 for mine. Watch for one this holiday season.

60TB, but only 1 or 2 of those is PLEX.

I bought a NAS earlier this year for storing massive amounts of raw video footage and decided to run the PLEX server on that instead of the Mac Mini. Working great so far.

Looking forward to it!

It's highly customizable in terms of sizing the grid for a lot of buttons or a few buttons, and buttons can be sized across 1 or all of the sections of the grid. I've laid all this out in a video. In terms of creating custom backgrounds, it's not as straightforward, but people are doing it by...

I'm still doing some more official stuff with AV NIRVANA, but I've launched my own channel for more ramblings and long-term stuff. More about the ownership user experience over time than the quick in and out reviews. There is an Unfolded Circle Discord channel that most of the community...

MANY apologies on the audio for this video. I had @jack.powell join me this morning for a deep dive into his HA integration and due to my stupidity, his audio was recorded directly AND in with my mic including an echo. I made some audio adjustments which helped, but I also added subtitles...

The delay is 1000ms, my saying 'a minute' was conversational, not actual. Like saying "gimme a second" knowing it'll be more than a second. Home Assistant integrations are dependent on your Home Assistant device. I'm using a Home Assistant Green. Now that I've had some devices that were...

To be expected with a Kickstarter. I waited almost 3 years for the NEEO Remote on Kickstarter, only to have it bricked a year later when they sold the product to Control4. There were folks on a waiting list long before the Remote 3 was announce, who wanted to buy the Remote Two. Anyone who...

Home Assistant can be a great way to add devices that don't have their own dedicated integrations yet. Here's how to bring them in:
