      Looking through setting for Emby Media server.

      Been a while since I've tried Emby Media server.

      I've been running Kodi using Emby as a backend. It's seamless, and displays through the Kodi frontend. And it transcodes on the fly. I've played a 4K movie transcoded to my laptop over WiFI without blocking or skipping once.

        That has nothing to do with Kodi or Emby and everything with the CPU available to whatever is running your media server to do the re-encoding on the fly.

          If one has a good graphics card, is it better to use that for re-encoding when using Kodi, Emby or Plex?

            I did not know I can use mstsc as a remote viewer (shadow) and control a computer.

              Since I run in a VM in a computer without any graphics functionality beyond basic, I have no idea.

                First time setting up a domain (personal domain) for emails. I'm using Zoho Mail.

                I don't like ZoHo's interface. I've been debating what to do with a few personal domains I have.

                Neither do I, but $12 / year for my eddiejennings.net E-mail and have some clear separation from personal and business (O365 business essentials) is a great deal.

                          @scottalanmiller lol. I'm constantly vacuuming because the chair keeps shedding.

                            Yeah try a few opensource/free ones but found that the easiest and quickest to go from setup, upload, and play back.

                                    I think I need to as well.

                                    I bought a used chair that I've been using at my office for 8+ years - it's a steelcase, I think I spent $60 on it. Normally they are like $350+

                                            Working from home as a "trial" run for today, I thought it was stupid, but whatever.
                                            My desk is my Bed until 5:00pm.
                                            But I dont have someone "keeping an eye on me" every second of the day, and already have so much more done then had I of been at the office sitting around talking.
