  • Plex Announces Massive Price Hike on Lifetime Subscription Plans

    Jump

  • My main point was that even if Plex is the best solution, the $750 lifetime fee was enough for me to put up with some inconveniences of Jellyfin even if it wasn't as easy.

    Not saying Jellyfin is better than Plex, but Plex has to be a lot better for the price increase to be justified.

  • I know you're just trying to make a point, but in case you're serious:

    You can't install tailscale because Roku is a closed device, so your best remaining options are:

    1. Use a Raspberry pi, old phone, or another device on the network to gateway, using Tailscale's subnet routing feature.
    2. Buy a google TV device instead, which will support Tailscale. Cheaper ones cost $20, with 4k ones starting at $25. Will save you $725 compared to the Plex lifetime subscription

  • Valve just published two guides on how to get the most of the Trackpads on[ your Steam Controller or Deck

    Jump

  • Thankfully haven't encountered that myself, sounds terrible.

    I am on the beta update channel, so might be worth switching to beta for awhile to see if it fixes it for you.

  • Oh I hadn't even noticed that. Are you talking about where you can "fling" the virtual ball and have momentum carry the cursor across the screen?

    Also is your username based on the Witchspring character? Or something else?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's sometimes hard to use other people's config layouts for that reason. Even with being able to label the inputs on the "input overview" screen, it can be unclear how to use the more complex profiles. And many input profiles might require specific game settings to work properly (like small deadzone settings for gyro joystick aiming, etc).

    A lot of times even if a game has a lot of community profiles available, I'll end up making my own. That way there's no question on how to use it, and I can tweak it as I go if I run into any issues.

  • Virtual Menus are great for any PC first games imo. Being able to setup direct weapon shortcuts (instead of cycling through) or having direct shortcuts to map/journal/inventory/etc is really nice. Also things like quicksave/quick load menus.

  • Tailscale was suggested above as an easier alternative to setting up a reverse proxy. If tailscale isn't a good option, then I would push forward with getting a reverse proxy setup.

  • I'm willing to work past a lot of shortcomings when the alternative is $750. Plus anything learning how to overcome those shortcomings will have benefits beyond just setting up jellyfin.

  • SDL Library Adds Support For The New Steam Controller Without Depending On Steam

    Jump

  • Valve famously has a flat management structure, meaning valve employees don't have traditional bosses. The employees are generally self directed, choosing what projects they want to work on.

    So something like this would be a Valve dev deciding the best use of his time for the day was to add SDL support for the Steam Controller. He did the work, didn't have to request approval for the project, and Valve paid him to do it.

    It may not be something that there was any organized, official push by valve to do. But their management structure encourages this kind of thing and pays for it.

  • [Controller] Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?! [Half-Solved]

    Jump

  • They've released a couple firmware/steam updates for people having doubled inputs, so definitely make sure you have those all installed. A new firmware update for the controller was released last night.

    Under Controller>Advanced settings in steam big picture mode, you can try forcibly updating all hardwired controllers.

    You shouldn't be having any signal issues at that range, so you either have something defective or some really bad signal interference. I'm leaning towards something being defective, because my puck doesn't have line of sight, is immediately next to a router and a bunch of bluetooth devices, and hasn't had any connection issues. You also mentioned the issues happening while wired, which definitely suggests a controller issue and not a connection problem.

  • If you use Emudeck to play Wii U games, you may have malware

    Jump

  • Yes, you would have had to downloaded a recent update, and run it at least twice.

  • [Controller] Bricked by failed firmware update, FIXED

    Jump

  • Thanks for the update! That's really good to know.

  • [Controller] Bricked by failed firmware update, FIXED

    Jump

  • Here's the support page:

    https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/33E8-5EDF-24E6-4CFB

    Flashing red should mean that the controller is in software update mode, trying to connect. I'd recommend restarting steam (or steamOS), and then plugging the controller straight into the usb C cable while it's still off. If that doesn't work, then you'll probably just need to wait for Steam to get back in touch with you.

    If steam support provides a button combination to reset the controller or something similar, please share it.

    Jump

  • Also I thought this part was interesting:

    Special note for Israeli users: If the malware determines that your location is Israel (it does this via locale and timezone checks) then it has a 1:6 chance that it will play a loud siren sound and run rm -rf /, essentially attempting to wipe your filesystem.
