Need long Ethernet cable

[UzuShin]

I run a Plex server on my desktop and am frankly getting sick of all the buffer due to wireless connection so I want to connect my PC and PS4 to my router.

Anybody here have any idea where I can get Ethernet cable? I asked my ISP and they said they can't help =___=

Really you might even get that at your local grocery store... well maybe not but any computer market sells Ethernet cables, I usually buy CAT6 and CAT5/5e from Muliplan center elephant road.
5-20 taka per feet,
10 taka per RJ45 jack,
10 taka per jack cover.
Price might change and they might even take money for adding the jacks/clips.

Thanks!. xD Yeah I am a noob when it comes to pc stores. I asked around banani but couldn't find any. Do you know any specific store in idb that sells these cables for a reasonable price? That'd help a lot.

noon question wats a plex server is it like nas

noon question wats a plex server is it like nas

Yeah kinda like a nas but instead of just downloading/uploading files the server can transcode (h264 encode i blv) ur video and music files and you can stream it on any client on ur w/lan network. It also has a very slick html interface. It can detect all your video files(if u name them properly) and download thumbnails, posters even show description and ratings.

It's really useful for me since the peasantstation 4 can't play most of my mkv/mp4 files. So my pc has to "spoon feed" it :v

My noob question: what's the difference between cat6 and 5e :v

[furiousTaher]

why ps4 cant play all mp4? codec problem? i thought ps4 can run all codecs vlc runs

cat 6 better for long length but i dont know if its really have an impact for shorter length...

probably bepar ta hochhe PS4 NAS access korte pare na, DLNA lage ar plex ota parar kotha.
Ami bashay DLNA e use kori sony tv er jonno, nahole file access korte pare na NAS theke.

Sadly that is not the case. Trying to run mkv files on the ps4 is a nightmare. It has some issue or another.. Not to mention it can't play 10bit encodes at all..

As for mp4 yeah they work for the most part. But the ps4 only allows fat32 so files above 4gb = no go. =__= So can't watch many of my movies.(most are mkv)

if you are looking for 100Mbps solution take 5E and if you want gigabit take cat 6.
Although cat5e can do gigabit but probably for very short length.

Sony TVs are the same -_-
stupid manufacturer!

[UzuShin]

My current router only has 100mbps ports but I'll like to have the option of gigabit. So I'll get cat6 thanks.

Also does about 25-30m count as long distance? xP

Btw since we are talking about lan networks.. Anyone here tried steam in home streaming? Would 100mbps be enough for gaming with decent quality?

cat 6 will easily do 90m on gigabit speed so no problem there.

In home streaming : 100Mbps wired network(both device) worked fine
300Mbps Wi-Fi, worked fine on 30fps limit.

noob question... the tv capability only related to movies that are in tv storage right? if i use external dvd player or pc which supports mkv it will run mkv without problem right?

Yes, I think.

Awesome! 1080p 60 possible with 100mbps wired?

If you use "anything else" you are essentially using your TV as just a monitor and probably via HDMI and I have never seen HDMI to fail.

Even my Raspberry Pi 2 ran 17-18GB 1080p 60fps movies on 100Mbps wired line just fine but mine is only file server yours is not so it might be limited to your Host server's capability as it will have to trans-code in fly but for normal file it works perfectly fine.

1 bit is not something that significant, stop crying.

[UzuShin]

My i5 can transcode with ease as long as no one is running anything on the background. Thanks for the info. I really don't want to spend money on a gigabit switch, will try 100mbps first.
