It’s one of my all time favorite Prince videos. You can see people nonverbally asking him to stop soloing but he won’t. It’s amazing.

I just made the switch from Plex a few weeks ago. Overall, I like the UI of Jellyfin better and haven’t had any difficulty playing media that I played on Plex. Once MFA and offline sync are added to Jellyfin, I won’t miss Plex at all.

Thank you for the response. I’ll probably give it a try since my needs are simple

With the recent developments of Phillips Hue, I feel like more people should look into Shelly devices. I have a few and they're great.

I’m running Zigbee2MQTT in docker. You could also run HomeBridge docker along side that, eliminating the need for Home Assistant. I still use Home Assistant as my front end but Zigbee is running on a Pi and HomeBridge is on my unraid server. Regardless, look into HomeBridge. It is very powerful for exposing non-HomeKit devices to that platform. I also have multiple Shelly devices and absolutely love them. I just didn’t want to replace my 9 Hue devices needlessly. I’ve been very impressed with the speed of Zigbee2MQTT over the Hue bridge so far.

I just watched it again and you’re right. Prince’s need to slay cracks me up even tho The Beatles aren’t a super guitar solo heavy band. So many legends in this performance. RIP

IR and RF blaster recommendations
I use the Sonoff RF Bridge flashed with tasmota https://sonoff.tech/product-document/gateway-and-sensors-doc/rfbridge-doc/. It’s been rock solid. It looks like there are newer versions that can’t be flashed so do some research before buying. For IR, I purchased a Tuya IR Wi-Fi device and replaced the Wi-Fi chip with an ESP-12f flashed with Tasmota. The process isn’t the easiest but I’m happy with the results. This is the device I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144473686315?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=z4O68KxtR8S&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aQmoJOvlQJy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY. Range is good but placement is key due to how the IR blasters are positioned. Good luck!

Managed 2.5Gbps/1Gbps switch suggestions for home network (VLAN)
Former Mikrotik CRS-310-8G+2S+IN owner here. This switch works as advertised and always provided very reliable speeds but I found the learning curve for the Mikrotik interface pretty steep. I have no formal training when it comes to networking but learned a lot watching The Network Berg channel on YouTube. I think the Mikrotik line will serve you well if you want to take the time to learn how to maximize the performance. I bought mine on eBay and BH Photo Video has some models as well. Good luck in your search

Intel i5-12500 vs i5-13500 Unraid
Reply in thread
Good point. Most of the info I see related to unraid and 13th gen is “it works fine” but would love more details. I am also very curious about unraid being able to make use of p vs e cores. Thanks for the input!
