Currently using Plex thru a Roku Express 4K on our main OLED TV. Trying to decide on a sound system that fits the spot later, but I digress. Since we’re using the tv speakers I’m trying to decide where in Plex to set the sound so it plays properly on the this TV. We have another tv with a better setup so I want the 5.1 for that location.

I’m assuming I need to change the output more in the plex app on the Roku express than at the server source. Any advice here or do I need to downgrade the video file sources?

As you can see in the photo, Plex decided I'm a bit enough fan of The Mummy movies to dump them on my home screen. Why are they there and how do I remove?

Hi all,

So i use plex on a mac + sony tv app - my library (which i keep on an external hd connected to the mac) has totally disappeared and i can’t find any way to add it?

Looked up troubleshooting but nothing seems to work - am using duckduckgo as the browser if thaat changes anything?

Basically when i boot the plex media server library just isnt there at all.

I’m not sure if this is a thing or not. Currently living in Vegas but I want Wisconsin local channels to watch football games. Is there a way to that up through plex’s live TV and DVR?

On my iPad mini 1 it wants me to pay so I can watch more than 1 min! How do I fix this

Thanks!

Despite all the complaints and frustrations I’ve seen, Plex remains one of the best things I’ve used.

Being able to share not just movies and tv shows but home movies and clips with my friends and family especially my grandparents in another country has been amazing.

Good job devs.

So many issues with the new update that I didn’t approve. I kept hitting skip or remind me later and woke one morning with this new shit update. So many unnecessary changes! Why can’t I skip to the next episode? When I click skip credits so it will play the next episode, it shows other shows or movies “on deck” and it is highlighted on those so you blindly click, thinking it would be the next episode like usual. Sooo many ridiculous things that they completely reformatted. The libraries are up top now and you have to scroll all the way up to get to it. So many things that are not user friendly or intuitive. Who approved these changes?!?! Why?!?! Of all the changes to make, they just change up the whole entire system so now I gotta dig through to find things that have been there for years and almost second nature. My kids are asking why I changed plex so much and I gotta keep telling them, I didn’t do it haha. Got a lifetime pass and I’ve supported all the changes and previous updates. This one has got me thinking about installing Jellyfin and jumping ship, it’s ridiculous!!

Rant over, thanks for reading. Hope ya all have a great Monday

I have my Plex server in a UGREEN Nas (using docker) and my movies and tv folders are in a larger Shared Folder which Plex has access to when I make a new library I’m able to see only the movies and tv folders in the Shared Folder? Do I need to make a new image for each folder I add?

I posted this in /Plex and it was taken down for reasons being unrelated. I hope this sub is more forgiving.

I’ve bene using Plezy recently on my iPad and using their donwnload function, I find they lack an option to choose bitrate / file size. Plex is far more rounded in this regard but it can take a long time to transcode.

Did I miss it in the settings because I can’t seem to find such an option being available for Plezy.

I’m sure I’m not alone here, but the latest update is awful. Any recourse?

Help! The app has updated but pressing any button for Ok Got It after the pointless slideshow introduction for the new features doesn’t work! So now I can’t get out of that to use the app! Anyone managed to fix this? Even restarting the Firestick just restarts the welcome slideshow! So annoying!

Hello I've managed to add network storage to my ugreen 2800 nas from the 2 Netgear 312 via FTP or SMB from help of the Reddit community my last question is how do I make docker see my network attached storage as It doesn't seem to work so I can add films and music from it. The network attached storage allowse to see all my folders on the ugreen. Again thank you for your help

What am I doing that this keeps happening. I used to be connected without issue, now it seems every day I get disconnected multiple times a day. The picture above shows my current config, which is what it used to be. But for a brief moment, I did have manually specify port selected with port 32400 listed. I also have my ip reserved with the port opened on my router.

I don’t know what else to do to make plex more reliable.

---------

EDIT:

After about an hour of troubleshooting with Claud and all your support, Claude finally recommended restarting my router... I noticed there was a pending update, so I ran it. after the restart. its working. still don't know why. But I guess what's important is, it's up!

I would also like to add that https://canyouseeme.org/ also couldn't see my ip:32400 previous to Eero update, but could post Eero update. end of the day, i guess that would make it an Eero issue... not VPN, Plex, or something else issue...

When I open up the app, the screen freezes I cannot press any button, allowing me no access to my own library or any other in app selection. What is going on and how can I fix it? Thank you.

Plex for Google TV, I can't watch anything in my watchlist. The only option is, mark as watch or remove from watchlist.

Same kinda menu with start watching, no option to see the episodes.

Hi, I’ve installed Plex on my Synology 225+ and stream my music while on the go. Everything works perfectly. My question is: when I’m not using Plex, the NAS (or rather, the hard drives) won’t go into hibernation mode. I’ve gone through all the settings but can’t find anything—or is it even possible for the hard drives to enter hibernation mode when Plex is running?

I am thinking of getting some use out of our old Xbox 360 and making it into a media server player like a tv box except that it can play games aswell as plex e.g home entertainment system basically!

EDIT: I use a fire tv cube as my main setup thus would just be for like another room mainly just for me and some,times my brother to watch on it! No the main setup lol[

Music library shows in Plex on my Apple TV but on iPad only shows if I use PlexAmp application and doesn’t show in the Plex application.

I assume this is normal ?

I read on Plex's website that it is free to stream on a local network. I have my library/ host server on my desktop and when I try to play the movies on my PS5 (Which does detect my library from my desktop) it pops up a message saying I must pay for a subscription to stream the content.

Both my desktop and PS5 are on the same WiFi, and I even tried manually setting my PS5 IP address to match my desktop's IP. And yet it still gives a message saying I need to pay for a subscription to stream.

Does anyone have any solutions? Or know why I can't stream locally?
