Re: Can I Disable Transcode / Stream

I am assuming that you are using the Plex "Live TV and DVR" feature, which leverages on the T4's ability to emulate a HDHomerun device via the "HRTunerProxy" plugin. The Samba bit is a little less clear, but I am guessing that means that you are getting Plex to also share out rec...

Re: Speed has dropped and not sure why

You'll also need to ensure that both devices have a manually configured IP address in the same subnet so that they can talk to eachother.
Without a router/DHCP server in between, their automatic IP assignments won't be made.

It's also possible that there is a DNS resolution issue on TheOldMan's network.
