American not Canadian. Grew up in a border town and live farther away now. I routinely tell people “I get home sick for a country I’m not from”. I hate this shit. I’m not going to rattle off every little trite thing, but damnit, this shit kills me. If there is a silver lining, it’s that I’ve had concerns about our disease spreading. I’m hoping maybe we served as your inoculation.

you are correct. On holiday with a few beers I’m surprised I got that close lol

For anyone in that spot of being savvy-ish but having fellow users that finally got used to plex:

A work around is Xteve and owncast. I was successfully able to make an owncast broadcast into a “DVR channel”.

Its cluegy but it does work. My tech level in this stuff is spotty. I’m used to stacks of tech but more for physical control systems (NOT consumer facing). But I was able to get that to work.

Edit: little bit of clarification: Xteve will let you add DVR to your plex server. It’s possible to tie owncast into Xteve. That allows users to cue into a “DVR” channel which is kind of “simulcasting” whatever you’re pointing owncast to. In my case it was a screen share of sportsball, but it could be whatever.
