    I love when a character says the title of the movie.

      DOOM had a doctor doom style mask but when he saw gladiator he had someone make him one in that style

    I bought that blu ray for $1 and it was well worth it.

    Excellent bonus features about Roman society! Also IRL Commodus was wayyy more bonkers than I expected, yet Caligula and Nero are the ones we talk about as crazy.

    Side note: blu ray still looks better than streaming by a long shot, garage sale season is the time to stock up on media.

      The commercial offerings? Yes

      Downloaded media + Plex/Jellyfin for streaming? No (Well, technically, depends on ones preferences, taste and configuration.)

      Blu-ray also requires far more physical space

        I haven’t hoisted the main sale in many many many moons, so I’m totally out of that world.

        I’ve made enough that I felt I should support content I like for a while, but the contract has been falling apart with the number of streaming services and pulling paid content from your digital library.

    Radarr downloaded it since I had the Collection monitored. It called it ‘Untitled Gladiator Sequel’ and put it in Jellyfin like that.

      Probably find-and-replace gone wrong. They should have seen it coming, lots of movies feature their title in the dialogue

    For a second I was wondering whether that was a giant zit on his left cheek but it isn’t. However, it’s really fun to scroll through his movies posters and see where they removed it and where they didn’t.

    Downloading a 1080p movie in HEVC? Hope it’s not a shared library.

    ETA: Downvote all you want, but come back and talk to me when you try to share a library full of x265 1080p movies and tell me how your transcoding is going.

      Sounds like somebody missed the memo on hardware transcoding LMAO

      I have a 200TB+ library full of 4K AND 1080p movies/shows, no issues transcoding here.

        I have hardware transcoding. I also have enough friends that more than 2 or 3 may be trying to watch something at the same time. Good job assuming the simplest setup, though.

          Then something is wrong with your setup, HW transcoding should be able to handle 3 transcode streams of a HEVC 1080p video file easily. I’ve had peaks of 8-10 simultaneous transcoding streams without issue (going above 5 does require you to patch the Nvidia driver (if using Nvidia consumer GPUs))

              Well there’s your problem, it ain’t got no gas in it!

              HW transcoding is more than just flipping the switch in the Plex dashboard.

              For one, you need a GPU of some kind, even shitty or old ones like a 1060 will get you far

              For two, it needs to be properly configured for PCIe pass through on Docker (if Plex is in a docker container)

              For three, a NAS is like…second to last tier as far as Plex servers go (with a few exceptions) with the bottom tier being “repurposed old computer”. While there’s nothing wrong with that, you can’t make generalized statements like you did based on that kinda setup.

                I did make a generalized statement there, you’re right. My opinions on the matter are largely influenced by the TRaSH Guides, which are a primary source for file quality settings for a significant portion of people managing media libraries. Best practices for 1080p is x264 since it 1) can be direct streamed on the most number of 1080p devices (just because you can transcode a bunch of streams at once doesn’t mean you should), and 2) has video quality aspects that are important to consider if you’re concerned with anything more than file size.

                With all the files in “proper” formats, my NAS has no issues direct streaming, and transcoding the few files here and there that need it.

                  I read through a bit, and it seems the whole anti-4K/x265 stance and even the anti-Transcoding stance as a whole was based on a Plex forum post “The Rules of 4K”, which if you follow back to the source states:

                  NOTE: for 2022 – Plex has come a long way since this FAQ was originally written, HW transcoding has become more available and more stable, and tone mapping was recently added to address the hdr/sdr color conversion issues.

                  The first 4 ‘rules’ generally are no longer as important as they once were, but may still be a good thing to bear in mind.

                  And I agree with that statement, coupled with proper hardware (like I said even an old and cheap 1060 will do the job nicely, or even the cheap but new Intel Arc GPUs have proven excellent for this task) Plex’s transcoding is rock solid, there’s little reason to not transcode these days.

                  Plus it’s not like device support for native x265 isn’t growing
