No need. They asked for a solution to the login screen, and they received it since there's a proper way to accomplish this without breaking the OS. Ticket closed. I'll add an addendum that the auto-login account should be a local account that isn't bound to a Microsoft account, and I'm assuming that server is headless and doesn't hold anything sensitive should someone break in and steal it, but that's a detail.

Think Facebook might have pulled the plug on the Plexaholics group, it’s not coming up for me at the moment. e: ah yes, new group has been made as it sounds like either Sky or Virgin Media had them busted. EL BROMANCE fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Mar 24, 2021 |

Anyone have any opinions on PseudoTV vs DizqueTV? Looking to create some fake TV channels with random themed programming to get over the whole "So much content, can't decide what to watch" thing.

dizqueTV is just the fork for plex/emby of PseudoTV, as far as I'm aware. Given the thread it's the only good option. I can't remember why I decided I wouldn't bother installing it, but I did like the idea of it e: it's because of the home users restriction; it creates it as a liveTV feed in plex and it's limited as such. Broke how I wanted to use it, anyway. Khablam fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Mar 25, 2021 |

Sounds like it was talk of indexers and Facebook probably didn’t want to get involved so just pulled it. It’s more of a dick waving competition over who has more storage and people getting into fights about dumb stuff. Had the occasional enjoyable thread. Of course like every group, it was 90% talk about justice league for the last week.

This new home screen they are forcing down my throat is pretty lovely imho. No longer do I see "resume watching Salute Your Shorts", I have to go to TV and then "suggested" for that now. But instead I can see the Ben Shapiro radio show and "Transmorphers 2 with commercials" with convenience like never before!

I think you need to make sure all the Plex stuff (Movies and Shows, Wen Shows, and Podcasts) is not pinned and it shouldn't show up in your feed.

Yeah, I have all of their stuff disabled and I actually don't notice a difference between this and what I had before. I did browse their TV selection, because I haven't done that in a while, and it's all terrible schlock. But maybe I should try their kung-fu and b-movie channel every once in a while.

For each library, put a next to things you want displayed on your plex, Home Screen, that librarie’s Home Screen, and your shared users screens. Making changes to the web client are independent of your streaming clients. You can have libraries pinned in the web client that aren’t pinned in your firetv, for example. Where are you not seeing resume etc? In the web client or your streaming device? If it’s your client, you have to pin the libraries you want to see, and you have to go to “edit Home Screen” in the client to change what’s visible.

I'm having trouble adding media to my Plex server. When I go to 'scan library files' after adding new movies, the popup says "queuing a scan of the 'Movies' section," which is not the phrasing I recall it using previously - and seems to imply that it's trying to do something else in the process, hence the word 'queuing'. Any ideas? Should I just delete the registry files on the hard drive itself and let the libraries re-compile entirely? What files should I trash and how long will this take? Thanks!

Standard first step is the plex library shuffle - remove all the media from the folder - adjust scheduling hours so you're outside of the window - adjust scheduling hours so you're inside of the window (wait for all processes to finish) - add media back in - scan folder (skip step 2 if you already are) It should remove the media from the library and butler everything, then take a completely fresh run at adding it.

I used to always see "on deck" on the main home screen on my TV, but it went away with the latest update to Plex. Going into the settings you mentioned brought it back. Thank you so much!!  edit: I spoke a little too soon. I don't see the option for "on deck" or "resume" anywhere. I used to be able to see these on the home screen just fine.

I’ve been running a Plex server off of my old laptop for a couple of years now, but it seems to be on its last legs. I saw someone in the Giant Bomb thread mention running Plex off of a NAS server so I’ve been looking into getting one. I’m thinking about getting a Synology DS920+ to run Plex off of and store files on. Does anyone have any experience with the DS920+? I know that earlier on in the thread someone had trouble with buffering. I should also mention I’m not super tech-savvy, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

I'm more into UnRAID but I'm also very comfortable in Linux land.

I did try and migrate my docker instance over to it, but never could get hardware transcoding going that way so I just installed it like a regular person. It's a good little box.

I've been looking at that exact model recently too. My current Synology is a DS411 and while I still really like it, it's quite old at this point and I'd be sad if it died. Was planning on maybe relocating it to the shed in order to serve as a backup for whatever I get next. And yeah, getting a NAS that also runs plex would be great.

I have no idea what I'm doing at all and I am very happy with my 920+. I picked up some cheap nvme drives and some extra RAM with it. I set the nvme drives to be used as a cache (I'm told read-only is what to do here and not read-write?) and I guess that is good. went small on the drive size and I'm going to have to upgrade those soon, but that's not a problem with the device per se. If I ever dip my toe back into the Usenet world I'll be running that stuff on the box too, which I'm told is pretty easy to keep running. We'll see what happens once the OLED gets here and 4k is a thing but for now it's doing everything I need it to do while sitting quietly in the pantry.

I JUST built a home NAS using unRAID, I am very much a hobbyist when it comes to computer stuff, but re-purposing a 2500k and some shucked drives was way, way cheaper than a synology, while adding more functionality. You really don't need to have any Linux knowledge or anything (although some advanced stuff I'm sure it'd help) But setting up a pool with SSD cache and Plex with shares and stuff was fast and painless. I'm now diving into automating plex requests and stuff which is slightly scarier.

I find unRAID to be a really nice median between prebuilt and rolling your own. And ill agree that its docker as a plugin system is really nice but there’s definitely some setting up involved there (like getting the “App Store” set up and having a some rudimentary understanding of the mount system docker uses). I also think you can do all that automation stuff on Synology as well.

I have disabled all the crap Plex tries to throw at me. I only have a movies, tv and music library. Everything else has been disabled and unpinned. Then, on the home screen in the upper right corner, click the Edit (pen) icon. On my dialog box I have "Continue with Automatic" and "Disable (Manually manage)", so it seems like letting Plex automatically mange the home screen, while only having your own local libraries works. Is it because you only have one library defined, eg. Movies, so Plex won't default to the "big" Home screen, but only show you the Recommended tab of the library? Looking at my Recommended tab in the Movies library, there aren't any On Deck entries, because movies aren't TV series.
