After months of lots negative feedback from Sarah about Plex, Jim finally takes the recommendation of Josh and Richard at Entertainment 2.0 and tries out Channels. You might be surprised what he finds. Mike and Jim also give an update on their Unraid and Home Assistant installs and finish the show with Jim possibly buying a Mac.   All that and more!

Plex NVR

• Plex is using a new provider for guide data. This requires users to delete and recreate their NVR but will fix a lot of issues users have been facing

Home Assistant

• If you are not able to get all your zigbee devices to connect due to range I would recommend these zigbee plugs which act as a repeater. https://amzn.to/3qjdQOA

UnRaid

• Great article on updates to the Ultimate Unraid Dashboard that you can get running with Grafana, Telegraf, and InfluxDB Unraid | Ultimate Unraid Dashboard Version 1.5 is Now Available
• Jim – I swapped out all the drives on my Unraid box this week.
