Jordan Games on Plex

SilverFlight · Post #1 » by **SilverFlight** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 2:41 am

So I have about 160 MJ games from back in the day, which I'm willing to share on Plex. Just let me know your username. I posted this on the main board too.

I can add 4 more users based on my upload speeds... so first 4 to respond are the lucky winners!

In before "what is plex???"

Plex is a free media server, Netflix style, where one can share his / her content completely in multiple formats.

You just need to sign up, let one know your email address that you signed up with, and once given an invite, can see that sharers' user content.

any chance you have the 2011 Bulls vs Jazz game? the one where the Bulls celebrated their 20th anniversary of the first title.

No, don't have that one.

This isn't the Jordan games, but do you have the games from the Bulls & Celtics 2009 playoff series?

SilverFlight · Post #8 » by **SilverFlight** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 5:45 pm

No, don't have that either. I have some non-Jordan stuff, but not a lot overall, and I haven't recorded much of late.

do you have the 2007 series vs Miami?
any classic Ben Gordon games?

SilverFlight · Post #10 » by **SilverFlight** » Wed Apr 1, 2015 3:16 am

Nope, no Gordon games either... just Jordan and some other NBA on NBC telecasts from the 90's.

I do still follow basketball post-Jordan, and now the technology has made it so easy to record stuff, especially digitally, but I haven't really recorded much basketball this past decade and a half. I think the only thing I really have is Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals. I have been recording NFL games here and there, as well as some golf, but not so much hoops.

Anyone know any youtube channels or sites that show all bulls games. I'm talking from Rose's MVP season and all that.

how would you upload a digital recording on to Plex?

SilverFlight · Post #17 » by **SilverFlight** » Wed Apr 1, 2015 5:17 pm

These are games I taped over the years on VHS, and eventually converted over to digital format through a video capture card. Some games are from DVD sets that I bought like the 1989 Detroit Pistons Championship set, which had the 6 games of the ECF between the Bulls and Pistons. I wanted to convert them over to digital format to preserve them, as a VHS tape degrades over time due to use and just naturally, whereas you can watch a digital file a million time and nothing happens to it.

Nowadays of course one doesn't record to VHS, or even DVD... I can record straight from the cable box to the computer digitally, and can edit out commercials after, whereas before when I was recording to VHS, I hit pause on the remote to not pick up the commercials, but that resulted in a second or two being missed here and there - whereas digitally now I can edit down to a frame of footage, which is 1/30th of a second, and not miss a thing when taping entirely. I think I'll be recording the NCAA Final game, especially if it's Duke and Kentucky.

Plex just allows you to view / share content with others by specifying any folders that you want to share from your computer. So I have the games stored on a hard drive in a specific folder path, and share the root path which is entitled "Sports", as I have other sports content including baseball and golf.

It says the server isn't available today and I'm not able to see the videos. It was working fine yesterday.

SilverFlight · Post #19 » by **SilverFlight** » Thu Apr 2, 2015 2:23 pm

I run a VPN from about 11:30 pm - 11:30 am EDT (at night), Sunday through Thursday, and the server isn't available then. All other times it should be up though. I won't be running it tonight either because of the long weekend, so it'll be available all weekend in about 1 hour.
