Possible to generate another ? Says invalid code

Edit: I mean a code for Beeper Mini on Android - not desktop

Well yeah it was already used and you came 3 hours after the fact.


Amen to this. I've followed pretty much the exact same path as you (pfSense instead of OPN though) and reached the exact same conclusion.

I have a sizeable networking background, but still absolutely hated having to keep up with this many moving parts. I very much didn't enjoy troubleshooting this setup.

Dumb is good.


Plex' Android TV app (ATV) is a travesty in regards to pretty much every feature that matters.

From broken playback state tracking, "currently watching" that just won't go away (obvious local state management issues), subtitles that randomly won't show up (no matter what you do), un-configurable +30s/-10s skip options, outright crashes (that toss the local state of whatever you were doing), fun with HDR playback (good luck, 0 handholding. You just have to make all the stars align yourself) and many, many more problems are routine.

Despite all this though, it is (or at least was 9~ months ago, when I made the switch) so much better than Emby (and sorta, by extension, Jellyfin -- which was much worse) on the same platform that it's astounding.

I remember being super impressed that metadata matching was mostly working for a predominantly ASPAC focused library. Library management in general is much better, now that I think about it.


The subtitle timing is also broken. Strangely when I cast the same video to my ATV I get better results than using the native app.

In general, on all Plex apps I've had a lot of issues with 4K content and Surround downmixing. You can configure an audio boost option for downmixing in the options but even then it's still barely usable.


Subtitles timing has been broken for a decade. I gave up trying to have that fixed.

For unrelated reasons, I switched my home devices to AppleTVs recently. The Infuse app works very well as a Plex client.


That's just going to lead to blanket allowances, sadly. Path of least resistance and all.



26C at 80% is a good day in most of Asia, for what it's worth.


RAS' (of nLayer/GTT/PacketFabric fame) presentation[0] about this same topic at NANOG47 is a lot more detailed.

Likely not, it's a book that relies on the visual representations of how things are laid out a bit too often.

What that means in practical terms is that you'll be presented with diagrams and need to pause and think what they really mean.

This context will likely not be translated well in the audio form.


How strict is the "US, UK, Canada, AUS" requirement if one is able to match the team timezone?
