cryptoclastic posted:The option I was talking about was related to playback position saving in music libraries. Yes but the error you posted was a OS/VFS layer error, which is what I was helping debug. Why you were hardlinking is just the trigger.  Glad you figured it out. Hardlinking is a FS feature - it maps your new filename to the same inode as the other filename. It's why it cannot cross filesystem boundaries, and as you found out needs to be a feature of the FS you pick.

Q - The official FAQ says for LG only webOS v2-4 are supported (https://support.plex.tv/articles/204080173-which-smart-tv-models-are-supported/). Is this actually true? It doesn't seem to make sense that if a tv is TOO new, it would actually start lacking support for plex (latest is webos 6 iirc).

Pretty sure 2 isn't supported anymore, so that's likely just out of date.

^^^ that is the same way I got my Plex button! Granted, at least a year ago I ordered. now instead of being annoyed that I hit the Netflix button, I am slightly less annoyed because it opens Plex

Going to add this, web os is so slow I use a 30 dollar roll instead. For Plex. Pretty sure it works though. My tv is getting old though so may just be crap.

I have FIOS 1gig/G3100. My G3100 seems to think my plex server is running a DNS attack. I can't seem to decipher the solution, or the solution isn't in the posts I've found. Anyone experience this before and know how to fix it? code:

It does give the option to turn DNS rebinding protection off, but is that a good idea? I assume turning off security options is a bad idea, but I don’t know enough about this particular setting so maybe it’s fine? It seems like maybe I can edit dnsmasq in SSH, but it seems like the g3100 may have intentionally crippled SSH, so I’ll have to look.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:It does not seem like the UI supports dnsmasq configuration. This particular attack is mitigated to an extent by modern browsers. But it seems like you either turn off the protection, or you don't use Plex. Or you get a different router, I suppose. Or reflash openwrt onto the one you have. Both of these options seem extreme to this humble poster.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:How would I go about doing that? Give that device a DHCP reservation or static IP so it always gets the same IP address, enter that IP in your plex client(s), and allow the client to connect to the Plex server over an insecure connection. You may need to manually specify your local network IP range in options on the server itself. This would work for viewing in your home, and works the best if you are the only person watching / only have one account setup for watching. If you've got multiple accounts set up, this may not be a good solution for you.

I'm having some issues with playing back older WMV files. And the internet seems to be telling me the solution is turn off hardware acceleration. But that setting only seems to show up in the UI if you have Plex Pass. Is there a configuration or registry key somewhere that I can tweak?

If you don't have Plex Pass, you can't use hardware acceleration, it's why the option isn't there. So, sadly not the solution you're seeking.

Take a look at Xmedia Recode https://www.xmedia-recode.de/en/ Add a bunch of files in different formats, choose output profile, e.g. Google Chromecast (which is what I use for transcoding), pick whatever video and audio output as well, either to transcode or just copy, and let it encode the files. I've used this to both reencode my own dvd rips and reencoding old downloaded stuff that is not available as streaming or on any disc based media, like xvid/divx, wmv files. You just let it create a similarly named file in the same folder, then after processing the files, go ahead and delete the old files and rescan the library where they are located.

How does the local syncing to an iOS device work with Plex? Trying to load this thing up before an extended road trip for my kid. Will I need to authenticate or anything? I likely won’t have any network connection at all I have plex pass (and also paid for the app ages ago, lol)

Start a few days ahead of the trip, syncing can randomly and silently fail. But you just go to a piece of content and there's a download button there.

Yeah, definitely do some dry runs if you can. I'm on Android for the most part, but have used the iOS app on an ancient iPad. I wouldn't say it's "unreliable" overall, but it can be drat frustrating sometimes when I can't get something to sync or play back.

Set auto lock to never and keep the app open while the device is charging.

You could also load everything into the VLC app. It sets up a local server that you connect to via a web browser and then you drag and drop files to copy them to the device.

Just because I've been doing a bunch of media organization today, if you're a Mac user and you don't have Subler - I advise grabbing it. I've used it for a year or two and it's just such a useful bit of kit. Essentially a basic multiplexer and metadata info, it's useful for quickly embedding subs into a file, removing audio (especially if the primary track is a foreign dub you don't want etc), and deleting those annoying metadata tags some groups use to embed the folder name into the file which then can be a pain when importing to plex. Quick and easy, a few seconds a file to have them how I want em.

I need a recommendation for a Plex NAS appliance. I've got two Plex servers, both on Raspberry Pi 4s. One is at my father's house. But it's become clear is that my dad needs something he can gently caress around with, and "an Ubuntu server install with systemd launching podman containers" isn't that. That's something I can gently caress around with. The dude has decided becoming a video librarian is his hobby now, and he needs his own appliance to baby. I know Plex runs on every drat thing. Is there a goon favored, Plex-capable, 2-drive NAS that gets regular security updates (HI WESTERN DIGITAL)? He's exclusively ripping DVDs to h264, so server transcoding doesn't need to outperform a RPi4. cruft fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 25, 2021 |

Anything by Synology or QNAP will be good enough for Plex. Wirecutter has some good recommendations but expect to pay $200-300 for just the enclosure. And then I’d highly recommend upgrading the RAM for whatever unit you get. I’ll also refer you to the NAS/Storage thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2801557 It’s skewed more towards heavy duty storage uses but consumer appliance-level NAS discussion is welcome too. Edit: I have a QNAP TS-251+ that’s been rocking for many years and it can do a couple of 1080p plex streams simultaneously. Edit 2: and if you’re the tinkering type, I’d recommend stepping up a bit from a base model. It’s a very slippery slope from “I need a NAS to serve up Plex and be a backup” to “i wonder if I could do my own photos hosting/gaming server/load this in Docker…oh poo poo, I need a bigger unit.” Trust me.

Plex sync is so flaky as to be pointless. It's way easier to just copy the files onto a tablet and play them directly.

Anyway, yeah, this looks like a pretty capable Plex device. I'll check out that QNAP too, but having worked with QNAPs in the past, I'm guessing it'll be outside my price range.
