Hopefully you’re working on “AdamEatsAss+” although seems like you might just have some niche content if you ever make that happen.
Yikes but vivid word picture you painted there
I had mine running for probably 10+ years but eventually started acting screwy a few years back. I went ahead and upgraded to a TP-Link and I’ve bee satisfied with it. I haven’t looked into if you can still get these custom firmwares for modern routers - but I’ve also been satisfied with the interface and the performance.
Yeah I never truly resolved the proper permission settings - tried to understand and research and figure it out even though I’m a complete Linux newb.
My workaround was figuring out that I can mount the drive in the Plex directory and it finally could see the media. I had to override the default behavior when Unbuntu auto mounts it to a specific directory when you plug the HDD in while the OS is running.
I’m just now getting into it. Set up a laptop with Ubuntu running Plex media server. Been taking some real baby steps watching basic Linux tutorials.
It did take me about 4 hours to figure out how to mount an ext HDD so that Plex would have proper permissions to find the media. It was very rewarding to finally frickin resolve that! I’m still gonna keep pecking away and learn as I go while watching I keep watching tutorials.
He’s still using XP?? I’m guessing his computer isn’t online then?
