Love this idea for a game room/mancave. I would probably wall mount and do a smaller screen, but really like this creative idea! If you have in-ceiling speakers easy to cast to a Sonos amp.
I really thought two things would happen. 1. He dropped the T.V. on his foot, and breaking the T.V. and his foot. 2. Seeing the T.V. rolling backwards and going down the stairs. While Jason was holding on to it. Since neither happened....oh well.
I have collected and converted the 2001 "Rolling Stones 500 Greatest albums of all time" over the last 18 years, tagged so they show up in numerical order. I play the collection in random track order during my wind down period at night (flac). It is a fantastic way for me to get back in touch with music I heard of from my youth but did not expose myself to. Plexamp allows me to stream lossless anywhere, and I have the lifetime plex subscription one-time fee from back in the day...I back up my (growing) collection of 900+ albumz and +25,000 tracks monthly along w the database...I'll never use anything else...
Funny AF watching you figure out how to get that thing mounted by yourself😂😂 When you were lifting it up, in front of the stairs, I so saw it going over and down the steps. Next time, get a six pack and dial a friend😎👍
Ok, I like what you've built here but you are so close to the ideal. take that awesome screen and make it a coffee table. Then add photo screen saver, retro-pi, and plex. That would be epic!
ok now im certain... your totally mad! mad because thats awesome! 😁🍻 i think you need to make this a product to sell! JASON you have made a sellable product! market it!
Strap an Nvidia shield on the back of that with a one tarabit ssd and it's go time for all the music and music video you need for game room or man cave
I use an old Asus 10" Android tablet running PlexAmp, RU-vid, and Spotify as a media center system transmitting via Bluetooth to a stereo system with some nice speaker in my office. Works perfectly. Although this large monitor was a silly exercise it's still neat in concept. Imagine a smaller version of this mounted near your main entertaining area that was transmitting to a sound system with some good output capabilites.
This would be epic with a sound zoned house that is hooked up to home assistant, you could track it with room assistant and switch to whatever speaker zone it’s in. Only issue with that is you’d need some serious audio equipment which most people wouldn’t have.
Why don't you use a raspberry Pi running Android then you'd have touch and it'd be a lot easier... There are also plenty of Android desktop Os like primos ... I literally have a 7-in tablet on my wall at all times that run home automation and Plex and Plex amp
AWESOME idea! Adding this to my list of "things to eventually do" Will definitely add a Bose system, and probably use either an Nvidia shield, or Chromebox.
I think your touch experience was affected by the touch capabilities of your TV/Screen/Thingy. While not at 55 inches, I occasionally run my Plexamp on a 15 inch tablet (Surface Book 2 detached screen portion) and it scrolls smoothly. My laptop also has a touch screen, and though I don't stretch it to max out the screen, I can also scroll smoothly... What I would like to see in the full screen mode you mentioned, is scaling of some UI elements in proportion to the window size so that things remain as they are. So if I stretch it to Full screen while keeping the same aspect ratio, I'd like the artist art to grow proportionally and the Up next... section to be hidden until I swipe up just like I do on my phone and PC.
Android tv box connected to the display and have it all mounted on the stand at the back of the screen so you only see the power wire coming off the back. Also you had handles on the back of the display and would have had an easier time lifting the display from the back side and then setting it on the stand mounts. While I was watching you I was screaming at the screen to prop the display up against the wall and turn the stand to face the display and lift if from the back. The android TV box would have better touch control integration at android is primarily run on touchscreen devices and would allow you to run plex for android on the huge screen.
Methinks Roon on that screen would blow your tiny mind ;) OK - to be fair, Plexamp does a great job for considerably less cash (Plex Pass lifetime subscription vs Roon lifetime subscription = no contest).
Should try using a Intel Stick. it should have enough power run the plexamp and it connects direly to the HDMI port on the TV and uses power from the USB port on the TV . I use a intel stick to run my bedroom tv to watch Web Content and plex with no dramas
proof of concept trial: ... have an android OS device connected to the TV and then you can test the mobile app capabilities that you asked for by using the android application on the touch screen. thoughts?
Reminds me of the time we hooked Plex up to our 3x4 (all 55") touch screen video wall at work and watched movies on it before Christmas last year. Might try plex amp on the 98" touch later this week when I have time.
Great work. You should most def try this again but use the "Bluestacks" android emulator. this way plex/plexamp will be the android version that was developed to be touched. I am doing the same project with an old 1080p TV as a "hub" for a smart home. Thinking of installing a USB "toggle" switch to enable/disable touchscreen in case I install the TV into a coffee table.
dude .. i am thinking about this for a year now ! mounting it to the wall and use it as remote for music and movies ! .. so people can choose music instead of my phone and being able to monitor server directly on the wall :)
Tilt the stand down, screw it in. NEVER EVER EVER use a cordless impact driver. Use a manual screwdriver. Start by screwing the screws in with your fingers so you feel the threads go in smoothly. Then screw all this in with your hands and don't overtighten as that would be pointless anyway. The ONLY reason to use an impact driver would be to push lugs into the wall and its studs so the rackmount will hold everything in place and not fall off. Hope my advice helps for next videos.
"I know what your thinking, this is dumb. This is what I do." This entire video was like watching myself in the mirror. My Daughter, "Why?!" Me, "Because I think I can." Additional thought - What about running it in Kiosk mode only running Plexamp?
So many things this could do... Try it with Chrome OS built with touchscreens in mind and literally any Chrome OS app. Try an Android emulator and play games on it like fruit ninja with 55" screen. Strap some led-laden Bluetooth speaker bars and some led strips to it and you have a mobile music box like you thought would be cool. You know how people put monitors behind mirrors and use them to tell time, weather, calendar, and such and they never look all that good? How about putting cameras to the sides of the monitor and use morphing software to make the same thing just 100x better. Attach some brackets and use it as a standing desktop. Don't wanna hang a TV in every room, put a TV on wheels and you have a TV on every single wall you have an outlet. Add an Echo Dot or some other voice assistant to it and have it do cool things remotely. Use it for video conferences. Use it in the background of your videos playing-related content rather than just doing it in post editing all the time?
This is perfect for day centres/residential homes for people with disabilities. I would probably try Plex for Windos but otherwis, very cool idea. Order, how about using Plexamp on an android box? Yeah, that might do it.
There’s many uses you COULD have for that. You can use one of your portable batteries to power it and since it’s on wheels… easy! Being that it appeared to be running windows… you can cast to other devices… Bluetooth is definitely an easy option… so an adapter hooked to a stereo system would do the trick! I’m interested to know what that screen actually costs… maybe not what you paid, but what is retail? At first I thought it was just a regular screen and you could lift it so I chuckled… but then I checked the caption again and realized why that made sense to be that heavy
This probably could work fine with a smaller screen. The ones at the bar can't be more than 30 inches. I used to do the my own music thing. Though streaming is so easy to just play music on.
