Tech Chat / Re: Plex media server is slick

Quote from: Darren Dirt on May 04, 2025, 12:11:40 PMDoes the Plex app work on old laptops (one that is still Windows 8 and thus can't even upgrade Chrome anymore) ... also is there a Roku app?

I have a handful of MP4s that I would prefer a better UI than just doing USB stick into my RokuSmartTV.

(Or if a better alternative simple app is what you guys recommend?)

((Otherwise my OCD/ADHD brain is thinking "how hard could it be to build a simple server and Roku client app in .NET...))

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, the server can run on a potato, the client app can be downloaded on Roku/mobile, you can access the server interface from a browser on your desktop

Also Windows 8? WINDOWS 8!!!???

Seems just like a thing TGfA would do -- finally release the game keys on April Fools Day.

Some veteran DF'ers swear it has achieved sentience... or the devs are insane how much complex detailed built-in rules they coded into it over the years.

(Or both.)

Minecraft / The early months of Minecraft ...

Minecraft classic was written in Java; it's quite cool to read Notch's early posts on this Java game dev forum that I found for random reasons this morning:

https://jvm-gaming.org/u/Markus_Persson

[To read just his posts click the MC thread... https://jvm-gaming.org/t/minecraft/33567 ... then his name, and then "32 posts in topic"]

May 18, 2009: "...The site where I'll put it: http://www.minecraft.net/"

May 20, 2009: "There's no actual gameplay yet. What you're playing there is "creative mode" where you just build a world."

June 10, 2009: "I released multiplayer the other day, and registrations shot through the roof. Over 24 hours, I got about 1200 registrations, and there currently are about 200 players playing it online. Holy moly!"

July 30, 2010: "A small game studio would be very nice in the long run, but for now I kind of enjoy being my own boss."
