Does anyone know of an “accessible” Plex forum?
I asked the question on this forum because I tried to access the only Plex forum I’ve seen, and on sign-up it asks for a business name. I’m not a business so apparently can’t use it.

Sorry, I’ll provide more explanation. I am not recording TV shows, movies or anything else that anyone else has done.
I’m ingesting old Hi8 and MiniDV recordings of my kids for FCPX editing, AND want to view them using Plex. Thought I’d seen something from another on this forum that was doing the same…maybe he was the only one.

Does Plex Server work with OWC Thunderbay?

Have you tried the $45 one? Much more expensive but wonder if its worth it.Have you tried the $45 one? Much more expensive but wonder if its worth it.

I reread Scott’s post and want to ask if that would work for what I was looking for. I have no knowledge of a Plex Server.

Scott, sorry for the long delay, been busy with kids and grandkids and not working on this project. Thanks for your reply.
Since my post I bought a OWC Thunderbolt drive enclosure with two 8TB drives in a mirrored configuration.
To keep track of what’s been captured, I started a Numbers spreadsheet to describe each tape and what’s on them…but after quite a few tapes captured, I’m thinking there must be a better way…database?
I’m expecting the task of finding something specific to get more difficult as the number of stored tapes increases. For example, it would be nice to be able to easily find video of a specific person or place or event.
Any ideas anyone?

Just saw this reply from Frank Maxwell. Sorry for the delay. Since I was having trouble trying to use FCPX archive I started using LifeFlix to capture and just putting the media in folders. Hopefully that won’t be a problem, as opposed the the FCPX archive method.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I’m using the Canopus ADVC-110 digital converter. I don’t think its still in production, but should be available used. It accepts S-video or component. It does not have HDMI out, but does have Firewire 400 out. I use a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 cable from the ADVC, then a TB 2 to Firewire 800 adapter to the Mac.
I am having one issue – the FCPX Preview window freezes on import, although the recording is fine. Don’t know whether or not the issue is caused by the digital converter is at fault.
