Question 2

I forgot my password?

Accepted Answer

With the new site i've created a members area that you can connect to either with an email, or your google/facebook account.  Check the LogIn button at the top of the page.  This is for this site only.  Once you are signed up, you can go into your profile and save your server username and password so you can always have access to it if you forget it.

In addition you can use the password request form here.  Use the email you registered when you applied. Your username and password will be emailed to you by the bot. If you are having trouble with this late me know and I will resolve it. Your password is the same on the media server and the requests page, but you can change them individually as it suits you.  Message me if you still have trouble.

Question 3

The Movie/Show I am watching needs subtitles or has the wrong audio, what's up with that?

Accepted Answer

When you buy a DVD, chances are high it will come with different audio tracks with different languages. These files are no different. Often times, the default audio track is simply set to the wrong language. Check for a different audio track before letting me know.  If there is no correct audio track, or the subtitles are wrong/missing, just let me know.  This is an excellent time to use Discord.

Question 4

I'm buffering, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Depends. First thing run a speed test on the device you are using. If you are downloading at anything less than 10Mbps, that is likely your problem. There are several factors for this issue. It's important to narrow down whether the problem is on your end, or mine. That is the main goal. In order to see if it is something on your end, here are some things you can do.

1. Try a different device. Use your computer or your phone, just try a different device. If that decide works, then you know it's not the server.
2. Play a different file. If several different files play without issue, then it is likely an issue with what you were trying to watch. Report it.
3. Don't use WiFi. Try watching on something jacked in using Ethernet. WiFi isnt always consistent enough in it's connectivity to allow streaming files of this size over the server. If it works fine over ethernet, your Wifi needs more beef.
4. Ask in the Discord channel. If others are also having similar issues, you know it's the server. This is usually due to too many people streaming at once, or maybe my internet is just being garbage. Literally all of these applications and services are running out of my server room at my house. If my internet connection is being flaky, you'll feel it.

Question 5

Live TV isn't working

Accepted Answer

Depends on the message.  First, try other channels.  If it is just one channel that isn't working, let me know and i'll update it.  If none of the channels are working, it's likely that the portal is down.  Just notify me and I'll attempt to reset it.

Live TV is a section I have little control over.  I just turn the channels on or off, or try and find a new stream if they go down.
