If Plex does your head in, you must only have a basic grasp on computers
You can stay out of my thread if it's to advanced for you thanks.
Advanced no its full of irrelevant guff. If i want to use a software media server i use universal media server, which is the current enumeration of ps3. I think your last post hit the nail on the head, unless you live your life through your pc plex is over the top
personally I love Plex, the limitations of DLNA was driving me batty, limited to no FF / RR functionality, no transcoding which meant if the file is not in a supported format (ie .MKV is a common one) then it would not play.
Switching to Plex was the best thing I have done, everything plays, I have full FF / RR and subtitle functionality. It is rather simple to set up and even simpler to manage when running. I am not sure where people are getting this idea that Plex is complex to use.
Plex FTW.
Cool thread Macca! Have had a server in a closet and a media centre computer in the lounge for years now. Running the older version Media Browser and Media Center Master on the server, but have been meaning to check out Plex and see what's what.
Not sure if you've seen MCM, but if you're downloading, it's pretty cool. It ties in with utorrent, is highly configurable, it'll keep your series up to date, rename them, retrieve metadata, transfer them to the right location on the server, and you can just set it up to run automatically in the background. Worth checking out!
Cheers

I started off with nothing.....and still have most of it left.
Thanks mate. A group of my trainees run a Media Server using Media Browser. One of the boys told me about those abilities to tie in with torrenting. If it supported chromecast and LG TV's I reckon I'd switch as it does seem like a good thing doing a lot of the work in the one application.
I've considered automatic renaming of episodes using "The Renamer". One of the guys at work who we share each others libraries with does that. I haven't bothered yet because frankly I'm rarely dealing with the raw files anymore. But I may still do it anyway
Edit
Just had a quick look at MCM. Seems it supports Plex. So I'll have a better look. Cheers

So I have this question for you Macca.
Are you downloading your files as a Zip file?
the reason I ask is that I download min 720p quality for my shows from my preferred site. but they all come zipped. Thanks this this thread I have set up RSS feeds now and have the files downloading to the correct folder, however I am still having to manually extract the file. Have you automated this method yet?
I'm not a hoon, I'm just competitive

Reckon your better off going a good torrent client like qBittorrent they have a built in search engine too!Do all your downloads offpeak if possible!

I have finally just downloaded plex, and I'm kicking myself I didn't do it earlier, it's fantastic, no more copying it to a hard drive or usb and sticking it in the TV, lol. (Though in my defence it's the first place with Ethernet wiring haha)
Now to read a little more into the automated downloading and I'll be set
This is what your looking for.

Easiest way for automatic downloads is RSS Feed. Utorrent can auto download off it once you set it up. Lots of tutorials around
