      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.

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

                                I'm considering dropping some cash on a chair.

                                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.

                                          Is Nancy home? or is the bank still open?

                                            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.

                                            You can't use the kitchen table?
                                            Is Nancy home? or is the bank still open?

                                            hahahahahaha... haha or wait your serious? have you seen our Kitchen? . . .

                                            They're working a different schedule.

                                            She goes in every other day but needs to be available to go in if they get swamped and they need help.
