Tube only runs 32-bit apps (affects Dolphin emulator, not sure what else). There's also a RAM difference that cuts out certain games.

I'd be curious if anyone has experience with the tube shield as well. Looking to upgrade from my launch chromecast and it seems like the best option.

Lots of reviews saying theyre about the same when it comes to the streaming apps.

Major difference is storage, games, usb ports, and the pro can be used as a plex server.

Also, you can actually buy the tube right now. The pro has been out of stock for a couple weeks. They had fresh stock yesterday and it sold out in minutes.

So...


I recently migrated servers since my old server was on a dying desktop but now some of my music that used to be in English (title, artist, and/or album) have reverted back to Japanese characters. This is only happening in Plex though. The files are all from iTunes where they're in English and the file properties are also English, so I'm not sure where Plex is pulling the old Japanese names from. Any ideas?

Make sure the library language is "English" instead of "none" then try refreshing metadata. It should then assume you want the english data.

I've been running into an odd issue with sound and picture getting out of sync on my TCL Roku TV, it may be others but that is the main place we watch everything. It seems like it's been happening only recently and I had thought only with SD encoded TV shows, like I Love Lucy. However, it was happening during a movie we were watching earlier. Suggestions on where to look at config wise to help track down the issue.

My server is Dell R710 that I use for a few things, 24 cores and 128GB of RAM. So that shouldn't be the problem. TV is on Wifi but I don't have any issues with laptop playing videos.

That did it. Thanks!

Edit: Apparently it didn't. There were some songs that weren't affected by this apparently so saw them at first but others are still Japanese even though they're in english in every other application.

Does anyone run UnRaid and have GPU transcoding going? I’m guessing containers won’t be supported but perhaps on a VM?

I think my 2500K board doesn’t have Vt-d support anyway which would make it a moot point, just wondering for when I upgrade the system. Got a $75 plex pass coupon and thinking of going for it finally.

Yup, it's working great for me. I use a Quadro P2000 but any Nvidia card will work. You'll need to use a special Unraid Nvidia build, there is a great tutorial by Spaceinvader One on how to set it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOhHiFAXwOE

It's a manual update, but it's usually available within a few days of new Unraid versions and only requires a few clicks from the settings tab.

I've updated it throughout the past 8-9 release candidates and stable builds with no issues.

I watched that and am trying to wrap my head around whether it's a wise idea to do a custom UnRaid installation like that. It basically turns into a fork of the main UnRaid software?

I wouldn't really call it a fork since they keep current with official releases, more just a patched version. I'm hoping they just bake it in at some point.

Two odd questions if I may:

1) I am going to rip my entire collection of George Carlin standup DVDs. It's every single one of his hour-long HBO specials. Like 14 of them are from his "All My Stuff" box set, and one is the single stand-up released after that; "It's Bad For Ya". Where should these go? In the movie folder, or TV folder? Any specific way I have to name the MKV files after I rip them? I've never done this with something that is neither a TV show nor a movie.

2) This one is super-weird. Plex on my NVidia Shield devices will not play anything from the "Scene" folder. For example, I ripped my Blu-ray of the 1989 movie "The Wizard". In the movie's folder I have a folder called "Scene" and it contains the deleted scenes that were on the Blu-ray. Similarly, I ripped by Blu-ray of "Little Shop of Horrors". I have the original theatrical cut as the "main" movie, and in "Scene" I have the director's cut with the bad ending. In both scenarios, the NVidia Shield refuses to play anything in the "Scene" folder. I click it and it just acts like I didn't do anything. No errors or anything. It just never plays. I tested the Plex app on my phone and my laptop and it played them just fine, so I am really stumped here.

I enabled it two nights ago and it came up when I was watching last night on my AppleTV. The Skip Intro button came in earlier than I had expected, unlike Netflix that shows up right when the Intro begins, but sticks around so when it starts you can press it. It worked as expected for the show I was watching. I'm GUESSING they're analyzing what part of the series/season has the same pattern and using that time index to identify the introduction.

I recall there being a list of platforms that it was available on in the announcement for the Skip, check if the web is there. Also, did you enable the feature in Library?

All of my standup specials are in the movie directory and they scrape fine.

I find with standup the movie is similar to concerts - make a separate library for them, tell it to scrape as movies, manually fix whatever it doesn't scrape right. I guess you could also do it as a collection but I prefer separate libraries.

Yeah that’s exactly how I do it, libraries for concerts and comedy specials and movie scrapes for both. You could always run them as collections within a Movies library too.

There’s a bug in my concert library that’s been driving me mad for a few years though but ugggh at the thought of doing it from scratch.

I have like 5 movies that are at the beginning of my Movies library despite their Sort Title, and it low-key drives me nuts. I'm not re-doing that whole drat library though. Also every time I add something to our family home movies library it scrapes as an alternate version of an existing file.

It's fine, I'm fine.

I'm confused if you would not mind elaborating.

So I have D:\TVSHOWS and E:\MOVIES that Plex knows about.

I should make a F:\MISC or something, and put the stand-up specials in there? But have them scraped as movies?

Do they show up under Movies then? Or some sort of 2nd Movies category?

Yep, mine is setup as having a folder on a drive called \Comedy\ and I have a library called Comedy that is told that it is a Movies-type library (so it'll use the Plex Movies scraper or TMDb scraper, I find the latter works a bit better). It's as simple as that. You can then tell that library whether you want things appearing in the Recently Added Movies etc stuff on the home screen or not, personally I choose not to but that's down to taste.

Make sure you are doing this for the extras (behind the scenes, deletes scenes, trailers, etc) otherwise I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

I've always found it's always been really finicky about working. Sometimes it has no issue whatsoever, sometimes it tries to add as a main picture and eventually works itself out. Sometimes it just doesn't display full stop. It's definitely one of the less reliable parts of the software.

When you say web, do you mean the desktop client at your local IP, or the web browser from Plex.TV?

Based on https://support.plex.tv/articles/skip-content/ I don't think the plex.tv player supports it currently. For me, I just had to push the update. The setting was on by default and analyzed by default, then worked properly on my iOS app.

I just wish the button was a little more opaque like Netflix's. Sometimes I like watching the intro but that large bright yellow button is distracting.

cut and paste the folders to a new location, refresh the library, then cut and paste em back. Your date added is messed up (I once had an entire doctor who directory that thought it was added in 2061). this'll fix the issue.

From browsing the support site, it looks like the answer is "no," but I want to check here: Is there any way to programmatically change server settings? My specific scenario is that I want to be able to run a command that changes the pre-roll videos without having to open the settings and copy&paste pathnames. It looks like the server has some kind of API but it's only for retrieving library information. Am I missing something?
