Are you streaming to a Chromecast, by any chance? Or a older Galaxy device?
The 4k Chromecast with Google TV does not support AV1, but the 1080p version does. Jellyfin tried Direct Playing AV1 files, which obviously went poorly.

I run the same CPU in my NUC as you do, and all data is on a NAS shared with NFS. It's been absolutely bulletproof for about a year, so I'm confident you should be able to make this work.

Any other containers running at the same time?
No cooling issues?

Just asking because mine dropped massively in temp when repasted.

I disagree, but not just to disagree.

AMS is still very useful for having hazzle free filament swaps, keeping the filament dry and with the AMS 2 even drying the filament.
If all you do is multimaterial or multicolour, then sure, INDX/Snapmaker/Vortek is amazing for time and cost saving, but most people at home will never ever be able to reach a volume of poop where it makes financial sense to pay the premium.
The Snapmaker is obviously an exception, but it sacrifices both build volume and a heated chamber to achieve the <1k price.

95% of what I do is mono colour, so the ocational toy for the kids with 200g of poop for a 50g part is worth the trade.

People also severely underestimate the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) for many of us. If my missus has to tinker more than 15 seconds before a print, I recieve the brunt if her frustration. It’s quite probable that all these tool-/hotend-swap systems will require some love as well. RatRig’s IDEX and Prusa XL have had many experienced people giving up.

I think this topic is highly subjective and personally just ordered the H2S. Quick math showed me I needed >75 rolls of pure poop before the H2D would make sense, and H2C will cost even more. I’d rather look at these systems down the line when more quirks have been ironed out.

I really have no clue.
It looks like a cool system, but I also think they might be rushing it to have a reply to the U1.
Will it work well from the get go?
How long does it take to change filament and hotend?
Will mis-alignment stop prints often, as things get worn?

They also cannot possibly price it lower that the H2D, as it is the same printer with more tech.
Prusa has also more or less confirmed to be releasing the INDX-system soon, which seems like a smarter system to me.

If it turns out as polished as Bambu often do and not to expensive (sub 3k), then it will demolish the competition. I’m happy we all get to be a part of the insane development race going on these days.

Also: if Prusa wants to compete, they have to offer a heated chamber and decent camera as standard. I still can’t fathom how they dared to release the Core One without.
I’m willing to pay quite a bit more for European made, but not if it feels like a complete rip-off.

Yeah, I think it's very clever, but like you say it will be interesting to see how the system fairs outside a lab environment over time.
And even if it does work flawlessly, there is no way they will price it lower than the H2D which is already outside what I consider reasonable for sporadic home use.

If all my dreams come true, the competition heats up and they end up dumping the prices over the board.
Realistically though, I'll keep an eye on the H2S over the next few months and see if people have issues with it before I give away even more of my hard earned money.

I'm thinking more and more that this is a semi-rushed response to Snapmaker having insane success on KS with their U1, more than a goodwill gesture from BL, tbh.

I also struggle seeing the true point of it, depending on what the price ends up being.
Let's say it lands at 2500-3000€. The H2S will have higher print speed (lighter gantry), fewer movable parts and a thoroughly tested hot end setup at 1150€ without AMS.
1500€ in poop is going to take most people a lifetime to produce, not considering the advanced Vortek system needing maintenance. That's like 75 full 1 kg rolls of pure poop if you pay 20€ for each.
It will also require at least two AMS units to function fully, both of which are proprietary and useless the day you buy another branded machine.
If you don't need a heated chamber or the increased print size, you can get away with the P-series for even less money.

Add the closed ecosystem to the mix, and I can't really see any viable reason to wait for the H2C at all...
Am I just being dumb here? I'd genuinely like to know

I'll admit never having used Lidarr, but if it's dead and no other good automated software exists, I'll just use the good old "search and click download"-hack.

Hopefully I won't ever have to do this, but time will tell

Thanks mate, but the only way to fix it would be to have Windows as the prio boot OS, which just hurts too much hehe.

I'd rather sit and wait and choose it manually after updating.

Spot on!

The moment music starts being split up between companies is the day I start pirating music again too.
My NAS and media NUC have soon paid for themselves from saving on streaming services. Adding music to it won't cost me a dime.

Also had issues with dual booting until I removed the Linux drives when installing Windows to make sure the boot partition was created on a separate drive.
Zero issues since.

Biggest downside is Windows always rebooting after updates, and if I don't sit there, it boots back into Linux as it's the first option in Grub.

At least now I have the option to fire up Windows when I can't solve something in Mint.

You've already gotten a lot of really good advice, but I'll add what I did on TL to get >10 ratio in about a year, without really limiting what I download.

For movies, I focused on finding files >14 GB so they are freelech. For movies I really wanted in super high quality to enjoy, I chose torrents with fewer seeds. This both boosts my points gain and lets me upload more when someone else wants the same file.
My best ratio files are several 70+ GB 4k Remuxes.

For TV Shows, I downloaded complete seasons as they are always freelech, unless it was a show I really want to watch right away.
These days I just add it to Sonarr and let it rip.

It goes without saying that you keep seeding everything for as long as you can. I have several hundred, some people have thousands.

Make sure you start with freeleech content to build a small buffer so you don't get warnings that stress you out. It sucks frantically trying to get your ratio up before some timer ends and you get banned.

Feel free to ask if you need some more help, and enjoy TL. It's a really good site run by what seems to be very level headed people.

Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
I bawled my eyes out.

Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.

I don't know why it wouldn't be, as they are great products out of the box.
A bit pricy, but worth it. I'd give the same recommendation as you for anyone wanting to dabble a little and have room to grow and play with VLAN's, ACL's and expandability in the future.
