The Diddler posted:Has anyone gotten intro skipping to work yet? I updated my server to the latest version and analyzed my library and it doesn't work on web. Did I miss a step or is it just not great? 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.

Nocheez posted:I'm so sick of Plex skipping when my wife tries to play anything through Chromecast. It works fine everywhere else, but it was throwing fits last night and driving us crazy... The solve for this is to adjust the bitrate. My LG Smart TV has a Plex app, but if anything is above 1080p @ 8mbps it stutters like crazy. Check in the section where you can turn subtitles on and off while playing a movie, and just adjust the bitrate down, and it should solve. Some apps in the general settings *on the chromecast Plex app* even have a "Convert Quality" setting that lets you automate this for everything you watch.

EL BROMANCE posted:Try xplay for LG TVs. 3rd party client that you have to pay for, but you get a trial. I had better success with it a few years ago when I didn’t have a 4K steaming box for my tv. I have an older one (probably like 5 years at this point?) and I don’t think it has access to it. It just has access to the lovely LG App Store that no longer supports Hulu or amazon prime. At this point I’m just waiting for a Apple TV refresh and I’ll pull the trigger on that. My server is also hooked up via HDMI to the same TV, so the app is only for less technical family members + when I’m too lazy to walk 5 feet to pick up my mouse.

Since it;s just a headless media server there shouldn't really be much in the way of security concerns. You could also set your password to something simple enough to get through with just a keyboard connected, but that feels dumber.

Tea Bone posted:I have a show in plex which has US and Australian versions along with the original UK. I have all 3 versions in plex, but it's picking them all up as a single show and just displaying 3 possible versions of each episode (similar to how it would if you have the same episode of a show at different qualities). I’m not sure what show you’re talking about, and I know this doesn’t 100% answer your question, but it might come down to the naming scheme of the show. The problem is that these multi-region shows all use a different name formation. You should look the show up on TVDB and see how it’s named to see how to title your directories. For example, the show Love Island is Love Island Love Island (US) Love Island Australia Love Island NZ The un-regioned one is UK, but since it’s not actually called that plex may have trouble if you add UK. For Australia, since it’s spelled and and not AU, if you don’t spell it out it may struggle. For New Zealand, if you put parentheses it may not catch because that version doesn’t have it. It’s stupid, but the names are too similar for plex to understand without some coaxing.

TheScott2K posted:Getting laserdiscs: cool, fun, displayable conversation starter about your favorite movies When I was in college I took some film classes where we watched some 30s-50s era films on laserdisc in a projector/theatre setting. In that setting, with those films, it looks quite well and certainly watched different that it would on a projected DVD. A thread about digitally casting content probably isn’t the right place to discuss this, but there is truly a significant difference between digital and analog viewing, especially in a projection environment.

The real draw of laserdisc was the cool packaging and the fact that tons of stuff was available in widescreen. For anyone interested enough in film to invest in laserdisc, the widescreen options were likely enough to make it worth it.

abelwingnut posted:alright, did some experimenting. I have the same issue with the built in plex app on my LG smart TV. If I play something above 1080p 8mbps bitrate, direct play or transcode, it’ll buffer and stutter like crazy. Anything 8mbps or below plays like a dream. All my other devices (iOS devices, with a macOS device) do not have this issue, even at bitrates around 24-30mbps or 4K transcodes. It’s just that the TV based Plex apps kinda suck in general. I see the file you gave us stats for is playing at 15mbps. On your smart TV, during playback, try to lower the bitrate. The option should be where your subtitles live. Go down one notch at a time until your stable, and that’s probably your TVs limit.

LODGE NORTH posted:Yeah, that's what I have. It's a bit confusing, but I'll try. Plex just doesn’t really like when you have things set up this way. I know this seems simple, but have you rebooted your server? That might be enough to get things back to the way they were. Either way I’d expect odd behavior like this having a shared directory. If you insist on having a download directory like that, you might want to consider something like sonarr or Medusa for their post-processing capabilities only. Both of those can move the tv shows at least Into their proper directory automatically.

I don't use usenet, but when you're setting for a specific show it might help to pick a sub group and set that as part of your filter? Just find the release group that releases first each week and use them. I also know in Medusa you can set ignore words (like raw) which might help if the titles have the word raw in them.

Their subs aren't super quality, but they're incredibly fast on release time and more than serviceable. If you're unsure about what group you want to use, most Raw groups put raw in their name. Just add raw to the exclusion list and you'll filter most of it out that way.

univbee posted:Oh yeah, you need what are often referred to as “forced” subtitles. Yeah, that’s annoying to prep especially if you’re not intimately familiar with the movie/show. I wish MKV had a standard where you can say “if I enable English audio I want this subtitle track auto-enabled.” I’ve taken to doing burn-in renders, especially for movies where the subtitles have a specific look (Avatar being an obvious example). But that’s inconsistent too, some Blu-rays have a separate sub track for forced subs, some just have one subtitle track where certain lines have a “forced” flag enabled. Plex has this. I forget if it’s server or client side, but you can set it to play x subtitles always when x language audio is selected (especially helpful with anime).

In the video playback I am selecting a quality above that of the original source file that I am trying to play, but it's still transcoding down to a SD version. There should be a source or original option. It’s also possible the Apple TV can’t play the format you’re using and it has to transcode. That is player dependent.

madsushi posted:Sonarr is not very good at anime, unfortunately. Sonarr's assumed episode numbering/naming scheme does not mesh with anime, especially for sources that use absolute numbering (e.g. "ep 25" would be "s02e01" in the West). FileBot can help here, if you use that to rename things into a format that matches Sonarr's metadata provider. Does sonarr not have absolute numbering or anime support? Medusa works well with anime in that regard (there’s an “anime” toggle for each show), so I’m super surprised sonarr doesn’t support it.

Doing some super brief research (and I mean super brief) most people I saw seem to report that ensuring a show is marked anime AND using jackett as your indexer for anime sites instead of sonarr directly fixes most problems. Not all but most. It does seem like sonarr does support an anime mode.

Lawen posted:Yeah, the problem that I've seen though is that it'll do too many incremental quality upgrades. I don't need it to grab the 720 HDTV then an hour later replace that with the 1080 HDTV and replace that the next day with a 1080 WebRip and then 10 months later finally replace that with a BluRay rip. It'd be nice if I could set the current season to use my "Initial" quality profile to just grab whatever decent rip gets posted first and not bother to upgrade it (unless there's a Proper) but then toggle older seasons to my "Archive" quality profile so they'll automatically upgrade to higher quality. It seems like a good solution might be to set your initial to 1080p. That way the only upgrade you’ll get is either a proper or a Blu-ray.

Few things are greater mood-killers than firing up a movie I know isn't on streaming services and hearing the audio noticeably out of sync. I don’t know your player, but if it’s a roku this seems to be common when video is trandcoded and audio is not. https://forums.plex.tv/t/audio-out-of-sync/231869 The fix seems to be selecting any quality other than original, or rewinding a half second and quickly hitting play. For manual audio offset, that’ll depend on your player.

Tea Bone posted:I have a 5.1 setup with a Sonos Playbase, sub and 2 play 1s. The sound coming through Plex is kind of lacklustre though. If I compare a film from Prime Video with the same film on Plex, the Prime version sounds noticeably fuller and more 'surround'. Settings on your TV are the most likely culprit. Could also be settings on the computer though. The computer needs to be shoving 5.1 to the tv (via the audio settings for the shield) over the HDMI, then the TV needs to shove 5.1 out to the Sonos. I don’t have one so I’m not sure how possible this is, but the best result you’re going to get is connecting the sound directly to the shield.

Since it’s transcoding anyway, that should put less strain.

Astro7x posted:uTorrent just dumps them all in a TV folder based on the huge RSS feed I subscribe to. No shows or season folders, just individual files. Fixing it in uTorrent seems like more work than fixing it in Plex though. I could set up a feed for each troublesome show and then dump those in a properly named folder, or just fix the show when it comes in. I thought it would be a bit easier than that, but I don't want to gently caress around with my RSS feed since I struggled to get it to work in the first place This is painful. Please don’t do this. Plex sucks rear end when you don’t folder correctly. This is not even how utorrent RSS is supposed to work. My mental image of your setup is a rural gas station with a 5 gallon bucket of loose $1 communal beef jerky. You don’t set up entire new feeds for each show. In the RSS downloader area you set what shows to grab from the feed you already set up, and you tell it which folder to go to based on downloader entry. No offense, but if setting up a RSS feed was super difficult, I don’t expect they’ll be able to set up sonarr or an equivalent.
