Need to figure out which hostname a specific Roku is calling

Since moving to pfsense from DD-WRT, my Roku cannot update. One difference is that I also enabled pfblockerng. If I disable pfblockerng, the Roku updates properly.

I'm not sure how to go about monitoring the Roku's outgoing calls to see which hostname is being blocked that the Roku needs for updates.

How should I best go about trying to determine this hostname?

Thanks

"Transcode" reporting too broad, especially in mobile app

I love Tautulli.

However, the one thing that I find lacking is the ability to know if a stream marked as "transcoded" was just for audio transcoding.

When the stream is active, Tautulli is awesome! It shows me whether the transcoding is happening to the video and/or audio.

However, when the stream is not running, I have to dig into the web app to find out. But what is worse is that the mobile app does not show me at *all* what exactly was transcoded. Also, the mobile app does not show any stats about the stream like the web app.

First, it would be great to have additional icons that show you:

  • Direct Play (existing)
  • Direct Stream (existing)
  • Transcode Video and Audio (new)
  • Transcode Video Only (new)
  • Transcode Audio Only (new)
  • Transcode Video or Audio (remove existing)

Then in the mobile app, the detail report of a specific stream would show the detailed stats about the stream, as the web app does.

Thanks

How many of you have users who bought a Plex Pass just for Plex Home, but don't host a server?

I'm running into families who want multiple accounts so they can request restrictions for their kids' accounts on content from my server.

What I'm finding is that it is a hard sell to tell them they must purchase a Plex Pass ($250) to get the Plex Home feature so they can share multiple accounts on one device.

Seems to me it would be nice if Plex offered Plex Home for less if separate from all the Plex server features they won't be using.

Do you have families buying a Plex Pass just for Plex Home to use your server?

EDIT: Not sure everyone is understanding my question. How many of your remote Plex server users (not your family) bought a Plex Pass mainly to use the Plex Home feature (not to host their own servers), where multiple accounts can share the same streaming device without the need to login each user each time they use the device?

EDIT 2: I wasn't expecting so many users to respond to this post. Funny, I've also thought of most everyone on this subreddit to be admins, however it makes sense that users without servers but with Plex Passes would join as well.
