Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I'm now thinking to switch to something else.

Great, I'll repost, thanks. What's a mesh network btw?

Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

Excellent! Glad you found what you wanted - I'll bookmark this for when I have to replace my trusty Bravia! 👍

Good point. Let's make every new passer drive an old banger for a year - I'm absolutely fed up of monkey-lipped young girls forcing me to my side of the road because they can't fucking negotiate the width of their fucking tractors!

Sorry for the rant, but I drive a classic - and it fucking riles me - every day ! I used to enjoy driving - now it's a daily nightmare.

I had a look at the website and it looks cool. A one-stop-shop for creating dvds and it's foss too - nice. I'm definately gonna have a play. Many thanks.

Thanks for the tip. Just imported my old boost settings and it looks ace.

Yeah, I'd actually made a comment on that thread (duh). I guess before I realised how good / useable Syncthing was.

Edit: grammar

Excellent! Got it installed now and it seems to work. It was the prompt bit I was getting confused with - I thought that I'd need to have both folders under the same structure on both machines. This is a brilliant app. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Good luck, it's kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.

Can you explain how you use it to find rss feeds on Web pages?

I'm using nzbgeek to find stuff. Then put the links it returns into eweka - a usenet provider. I'm new to this, so I'm just dipping my toe in to make sure it works. Currently it does but I'm sure there are better deals if you look around.
