Rules

Shamelessly stolen from another forum site:

Just found out Plex has updated its Privacy Policy page and added a new page to opt-out trackings.

https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

https://www.plex.tv/vendors-us/

Up until now all your playback data may be involuntarily sent to ad agencies and companies such as Amazon to silently influence and target your buyings. Now we can opt out everything and keep your watch habit private and treat your plex server like never existed.

EDIT: now you can also easily access privacy settings and delete all already uploaded watch history, and stop syncing watch states, rating etc. Remember to set all to private if privacy is important to you.

EDIT2: also double confirm "Send playback data to Plex" is unchecked.

like if I download a video on my phone, can I somehow upload that to my Plex server? or do I have to do it the regular way?

See title. Trailers for my local content all play fine. If I want to play a trailer to see if interested in stuff on plex's own streaming service, I get that error.

The movie itself will play fine. The trailers will not.

My Plex server bypasses my pihole.

This is US. Comcast business class line with static IPs.

Happens on all of my clients. Phone. Shield. Onn Android TV.

I have a Plex pass.

WTF?

I'm curious if any of you have ever used Audials. It has some interesting functionality including Audials Vision which has a video AI upscaler. I wonder if this would be effective at upscaling lower resolution videos like DVD quality 480p videos or 720p videos.

I run plex from Docker on a local linux server. I have sonarr configured but its not configured perfectly so it's downloading but not importing right now. Thats a separate issue I need to figure out.

For now, I have a large library that I would like to organize and rename. It all works, its in plex and shows up and such, but it's not consistent. I have some files that have spaces in them and others with dots (preferred). I have season folders like 01 and 1, etc.

I could set up a local share and connect filebot to that I imagine, but am hoping there's maybe a more modern solution that also doesn't require a desktop app.

I know that if I go to my own library on desktop, I can download actual files and move them around and do whatever I want with them, I thought maybe that was why I couldn't find the download to watch later option, so I went to a shared library, and the option isn't there either. you can see where the option exists on mobile

Aww

Happy Thanksgiving! As much grief as plex has given me in the last few months, this was still sweet to see.

I've had trouble streaming Plex in the bedroom, 4K content only. Lot's of buffering/stutters.

I still haven't got around to networking the bedroom to Ethernet, just WiFi.

Out of curiosity I opened VLC on the bedroom Nvidia Shield, and there's an option to access devices on the local network, including my NAS. Opened the file directly and it only buffered once, slowed for about a minute (the audio sounded like my cat playing with my turntable lol) but then it caught up in 30 sec or so and streamed flawlessly after.

Not sure why it worked better, but figured I'd post here as a hack for others in similar situations.

Now that tidal integration is dead, a good option I've used before is livexone (formerly slacker). While i loved having everything in one place, I prefer not having to buy/rip or download the huge catalogs available elsewhere. And now that music seems to be going away in plex clients in the roadmap as well, i decided to find another solution sooner.

The ui isnt the best, but is far from the worst. How I use it:

• star an artist to add them to your list of artists
• then immediately also add that artist to each custom station you want them to be a part of
• while playing your custom stations, use the dot menu to fine tune how much outside of the station can be pulled in. This, imo, is live's killer feature. Similar music is based on the whole list of artists in the station, not just a single artist.
• grow your artists and playlists by browsing related.

In addition to this, livex also has genres, curated lists, new music lists, and podcasts.

It also has apps that do not suck on

edit - turns out rebooting it five times is what works.

when I'm using any of my Plex players, it acts like my server is turned off. when I go into settings, it says that my server is unavailable with a secure connection. I've tried restarting everything, rebooting everything, I can't watch my server.

The error is saying there’s not enough memory. But not enough memory where? Anyone else running into this? Any suggestions for resolution?

I'm an unemployed software developer with some time to make things I've wanted to exist.

I just released a web app that lets you log in with your Plex account which imports the movies available in your library, create a voting session, and invite friends to vote on movies. When a movie gets votes from all your friends in the session, it is declared the winner and the session creator will get a link to open the movie in Plex.

I was tired of endlessly scrolling through my movie library whenever it was time to pick a movie. I think this will help.

Here are some screenshots

This royally sucks for me. I like having my own local library integrated with Tidal.

Hi All,

About a year ago I transferred all my files to a new drive. I used filzezilla which did mostly ok-ish, but I didn't notice that some of the video files were corrupted. Random files will have a green tinge to them (like someone put a green filter over the lens).

It seems random, although if it's a series it's usually the whole series.

I've been replacing them as they come up, but I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to expedite the process.

Thanks for any help!

I have followed the docs and have the recommended folder structures for my Plex and arrs setup.

sonarr has a volume set as /data which gives it access to e.g. /data/usenet/downloads This is working fine with SABnzdb

I am using a seedbox for torrents. Looking at ruTorrent on the seedbox, I can see that the local download folder there is set to: /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent

sonarr is reporting "No files found are eligible for import in:

• /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr/filename.mkv

I have set a remote path in the download clients page in sonarr as follows:

• Host - ****.seedit4.me
• Remote path: /home/seedit4me
• local path: /data

I have ftp'd the mkv file to actual folder structure:

• /data/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonaar/filename.mkv

The permissions on this file are:

• -rw-rw-r--

the folder permissions are:

• drwxrwxr-x 2 myacct myacct

I am finding older movies not having translation subtitles when people are speaking a foreign language, like in the beginning of The Hunt for Red October or Stargate. Watching the movie on the the physical copy of Stargate, when they are speaking Egyptian, English subtitles come up translating what they are saying. On my digital copy, I have to have subtitles on all the time in order to see the translation, which sucks because I don’t need subtitles the rest of the movie, just when they are speaking Egyptian. My theory is that there was some sort of trigger on the physical copy that activates the subtitles at that point that is missing from the digital copy. Is there a way to fix or get around this? Or am I just stuck reading subtitles the entirety of the movies if I want to know what people are saying in the foreign language?

I followed the trash guide and have sonaar and sabnzbd working brilliantly together in portainer.

My plex media folders when I was on win11 were on external disks. After moving to ubuntu I can find them under /media/

<name>

Plex is able to read from them, so it was quick to rebuild the library. My question is, how can I give sonarr access to them? I want to be able to import them and have sonarr able to write to them (when I download episodes).

Is there a clever way to put them into the /data structure that I followed in the trash guide?

Thanks!
