Did we?

Namecheap domains include a dynamic DNS application for free and it works well. Be aware that it only runs on Windows.

Not gonna lie, the trailer looks better than I expected. Looking forward to the premiere.

I actually have a degree in networking lol

Shh we don’t want this taken down. I’ve been using it for years.

NameCheap

I don’t do anything special, I just have a really stupid domain name that no one else would want. I don’t use autopay so maybe that helps.

My domain has been consistently $2 for four years now.

Why not just pay $2/yr for a domain on Name Cheap? They have a dynamic DNS solution.

Just in case it doesn’t carry over, run this first to get your Windows Pro key: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

I’m running Mac OSX.

Yep that’s it!

Yep you got it, the Ministack enclosure. The brown wood base I got on Amazon - it’s a no name brand, just search for Mac Mini wood stand.

Admittedly I was mostly drawn to the clean form factor of the mini stack. It’s just so pretty.

It was a happy bonus that Plex was originally designed for Mac and works flawlessly on Mac hardware.

What’s the best way to convert to 1080p x256?

That’s disappointing. I wonder if the M2 is more capable. Granted at that price point there’s little reason to go Mac instead of Linux or even Windows.

I haven’t tried. The vast majority of my streaming is in the same network and direct play at 1080p. The rest is remote when I’m at work at 480p because I have to use data instead of WiFi.

I’ve heard that the M1 Mac Minis can transcode at 4k but I didn’t want to shell out the cash for it.
