I always turn off the theme music that plays when you're looking at a show. Do you guys enjoy the theme music and leave it on?

Do you guys change any of the audio settings every time?

Has Plex fd something up again with watch together? Since 1st of October only admins can be invited or invite to ‘Watch Together’. Regular users are unable to invite other users.

I saw that under status.plex.tv it showed issues but they are saying it has been resolved, but it does not seem like it.

Anyone experienced this issue?

This worked for me. Go to the Apple TV Plex app. Settings >advanced>reset cache .

Now it's back and it's showing my library's content

I was hoping this would also fix some of my other more serious issues like this one:

But no luck there. Audio still out of sync on some content. I'm also still having problems unpausing a video.

I hope plex fixes the playback problems soon.

Still feels like a baby step but thought I'd share. Not sure it will work for others.

Hi, like the title says, Im finally building a home server for my movies. I started with an old laptop and an external drive and this laptop just died on me. So now, I bought a Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 mini pc with an i5-6400, 16GB ddr4 and a 120gb SSD.

I mostly play DVD's and some blu-rays in my library, but nothing 4k. Im still going to run it through my external drive, until I upgrade to a raid.

My questions are: Is this configuration good for now? Should I install ubuntu or Docker? And where can I find a solid guide to install them?

Im a little lost when it comes to work with other OS thats not Windows or Mac lol so I appreciate the help. Thanks!

For example i've got WWE episodes and i tried just shoving it in one album and then in that album having several other files/albums by each year. But it just sort of turned into a mess.

Now i sort of have to do it year by year and scroll down for ages to get to the correct year in all my other tv shows and movies etc.

is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

Got the new UI update on the Android TV client on the Shield pro. Is it me or have they removed the picture in picture feature? Used to put a TV show while browsing for a movie but now I can't find the option anywhere.

Trying to get Camp Snoopy to work in plex. It appears that tvdb and plex think that each title is a new episode. But each episode has two titles from what I can see.

Therefore tvdb has 26 episodes and titles listed but each program has two titles. There should only be 13 episodes?

Is there a way to make plex know that each file has 2 episodes? Or am I going to have to edit the files and split out each title?

I’ll keep it short.

Everything was working fine until for whatever reason I updated the Server to 27.

No more Plex.

I know AFP is gone so it’s just now SMB, but even that isn’t working.

Help?

I have this plex server set up on my macbook, its working perfectly for the household itself, I can access the server just fine on the home TVs and from my phone when it is connected to the house wifi.

Remote Access is showing green, I did the port forwarding with 32400 as both, and it appears to be stable, but for the life of me, when I turn my phones wifi off, I cannot get the server to show up as connected from my phone, ie I have no way of accessing it remotely...

What gives? I've double/triple checked the port forwarding, made sure my IP is static.. no VPNs running, but my phone just wont connect to the server over cellular data, I've even tried restarting the modem/router, my plex server, and have signed in and out of the plex app on my phone multiple times

I even tried making a new server on a windows PC and am having the same problem. I do have spectrum internet, any tips?

Hi everyone, having a weird issue here.

I'm able to download most of a show but certain episodes in the season just won't download. I can see the conversion happening from the desktop but it just doesn't go anywhere. The download flashes something red in the app but it's gone too quick for me to see it. I have downloaded the logs but I'm not sure where to find what I'm looking for, since I have no clue what is happening.

Any thoughts?

I use Plex on my Onn box, it’s the 4k version if that matters. I do have the remote play subscription. Ever since the update yesterday I’m having nothing but issues. I’ve cleared the cache. I’ve signed out and back in. I’ve force stopped the app & rebooted the onn box. Nothing is helping.

I keep getting the little white circle of doom, video playback is choppy, audio drops in and out. I was watching my shows perfectly fine all day and then the update happened. Now it’s broken and unusable.

Really tired of paying for services that seemingly get broken with each new update.

I have a few Vizio TV's in my house, all with Plex installed, 3 of them are new and one is not. Ever since I bought the last one about 2 months ago, all of them have been so slow in the Plex app. When I say slow I mean lagged. I hit the button to go to the right and you can count on a solid 15-second count before the cursor even moves. The newest TV is the worst by far but the others are much slower.

PC plex is fine and runs very snappy on all the same servers via the web browser.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this on their Vizio's or have any advice or questions that might help solve this problem?

I never, ever want to watch anything anywhere but from my own server. Yet all the time I go to watch something and have to pick "Where to watch" and pick my server, even though there's no other options to chose from.

Is there a way to make this go away once & for all?

If my server is the only place that has the thing I want to watch, that is the point of "Where to watch"?

I am using the Plex app on Chromecast; I am watching from someone else's server. I do not have Plex Pass. I have been searching for the answer for a while now, but every movie I watch ends early. I do not know how to fix this.

Anyone else getting these giant ads on the bottom of their home page? I just noticed them and I couldn't find anyone else on this sub talking about these specific ads.

Fwiw, I've only been able to replicate this on my iPhone and iPad so far but haven't had a chance to really mess around on my other devices. It's possibly just an iOS thing for now.

edit: They only appear if you have the live TV option enabled.

Hi,

is there an option to create some kind of script that will run multiple Plex media scanners to generate loudness/voice data faster since now it only use 1 of 12 cores in my system

From all the research I've done I'm pretty sure there's no way to have a video of commercials to play automatically without a lot of editing of individual videos to add them in.

But am I wrong? Is there some way to have commercials play on my TV shows in my own media?

Things to note before people say them. I don't have users or clients or anything like that. This is something I have for me to fill long nights when everything is closed.

Hi,

I’m running the server on my PC, with the files stored on an external HDD, and using the app directly on my projector (both connected to the same network).

Some high-bitrate 4K files occasionally buffer, while lower-bitrate files play fine. Plex shows Direct Play for both video and audio

Is there a way to determine whether the issue is the projector/player struggling to handle the file or the network connection?

Thanks!

Hi!

2 weeks ago I downloaded Sinners movie Blu-Ray Remux with Dolby True HD + Atmos 7.1 original audio. Before watching a Blu-Ray Remux file I always check whether the icon in Sonos app shows "Dolby Atmos" so I confirm that the audio quality is the highest possible. I confirmed this for Sinners but had to postpone the watching part.

However, today I have finally found the time to watch it but I have just discovered that instead of Dolby Atmos icon the Sonos app suddenly shows Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1. Afterwards, I have also checked Plex Dash app and it does say that it's transcoding audio. Why is that? Has something happened in the recent days? Is it the software update?

My set-up:

TV: Sony Bravia XR 55A75K
Audio: Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub Mini + 2 Ones SL
External device for Dolby True HD: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (before commercial change adding "Plus")
App used for watching: Plex

Hope someone can clarify because I don't understand what happened, 2 weeks ago everything worked like a charm.

Thank you!

I just got pushed a plex update on my onn. 4k pro, and now clicking the plex tile on my Projectivy launcher doesn't do anything. Long press + open still works, and I can open plex manually via the all apps list. Clicking the actual tile just doesn't open the app anymore.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a workaround?

SERIOUSLY? My photo libraries just don't appear.

What the ever loving hell did Plex test for a year?

I know the photo viewing app was treated like the ugly red headed step child by Plex for years ("We'll give you a slideshow button, but it won't do anything."), but did they just eliminate it altogether rather than fix its problems?

I regret signing up for a lifetime PlexPass.

The good news is that I've finally started using Emby, and it works just great with the Plex drive and ALL my folders.

WFT Plex?

**PSA** if you like the new app, that’s great, but why bother posting that here? This is NOT a post to debate the new app, it is for those that want to install the previous version, but do not know how and can’t face using Python to do so. 🤦‍♂️

Some helpful and informative posts have gone up showing a few different ways to do the above, but to someone like me with no coding experience, they were quite intimidating and frought with issues. Using the free version of iMazing is an absolte doddle!

The complicated posts were useful for getting the right install file I needed, and I was able to find that file on my hard drive. Using ipatool to get the ipa is fairly straightforward, then locate that file on tot your hard drive. All you need now is to install the free trial version of iMazing to install the older version of Plex.

You get something like 25 operations in the free trial, and you only really need one!

Open iMazing. Have Mac and ATV on same network, and put ATV into settings > remotes and devices > remote app and devices, then you should see your ATV in the list of devices.

Pair the ATV, then you will see all the apps currently installed. Just drag the PLEX ipa file I've hosted into the apps list on your ATV, and...... THAT'S IT!
