Quick confirmation: My Roku 3 and my Plex Media server are on the same LAN subnet. The Roku is not going out to the internet and back in to access my PMS, right?

Pondering one of the new Mac Minis as a dedicated Plex server. Seems like it has enough horsepower to handle transcodes for multiple clients, yes? Anyone else using one for Plex?

I dig that server, but I need a very small unit to fit on my shelf, that server is too large. :-( I'm debating trying to track down a 2012 Mac Mini, or build out a NUC.

What does everyone use for that Transcoding setting, Seconds to Buffer before Throttling Transcoder? Can someone explain the benefits of increasing this beyond the default of 60 seconds?

Walked posted:Question: Yes, backup the Plex data directory. Should be listed within your Server settings (you may need to toggle Advanced mode to see it). Backup that directory, then reinstall after the format and replace the contents of the new data directory with your backup. Should be good to go.

Have any of you Roku users tried RARFlix? Is it better than the official or test Plex channel?

The Gunslinger posted:It's better in terms of sorting features mainly which makes a big difference if you have a large collection. The official Plex channel on the Roku is awful for browsing large libraries. I've got about 350 movies, and it's a pain to scroll through them. Am I missing something but is there a way to show movies as a list instead of side to side cover flow?

teagone posted:Well, Cloud Sync is another option, but it has some limitations other than being behind the Plex Pass paywall. The way Cloud Sync works is you connect a cloud storage provider to your Plex account, e.g., Google Drive, and choose what content to sync to those storage services. In my case, I have my Plex server set up to recurringly sync the 5 latest movies I add to my to library to my Google Drive and Box.com accounts. Those 5 movies are optimized (transcoded) and sent to Google Drive/Box and can be remotely streamed from there, utilizing the speed of the Google/Box cloud services instead of my home internet. I have Plex Pass but I have not used Cloud Sync yet. If I set this up like you have, and I wanted to watch one of those movies on my Roku, would it stream the local LAN version of the movie or would it stream the Cloud Sync'd transcoded version?

teagone posted:Are you using the preview release of the Plex Roku app? Cloud Sync libraries aren't available for that at the moment. https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204849187-Where-is-feature-X- So to answer your question, if so, you'd be streaming the local version. If you're using the regular Plex Roku app, Cloud Sync media should be under a separate Cloud Sync section. Yeah, I have both versions on my Roku, but 95% of the time, I'm using the Preview version (I like the interface way better). So in the regular version I'd have to actually choose the Cloud Sync version, otherwise it's the local version? What about my parents, would they stream the cloud sync'd version or is that only for Plex Pass users (they're not).

One feature I'd love for PMS would be the ability to specify how long to cache re-encoded media for offline sync. For example, 2 weeks ago, I sync'd a movie to my iPad, and then yesterday I sync'd that same movie to another iPad, but the server had to do the whole time-consuming re-encoding process and then downloaded to the iPad. If the data could be cached for a period of time, so all it has to do is download the pre-encoded media, that would be amazing.

Cornjob posted:Doesnt plex transcode DTS audio to DD 5.1? I realize that many people will want dts, but as long as you get 5.1, itll meet *most* people needs. I thought it did passthrough if the device streaming supported it? I know I get DTS on my Roku 3. If I remember correctly, I had to tell my Roku that I had a DTS receiver and all was good.

teagone posted:Yeah, I believe you can force PMS to transcode DTS audio streams to AC3 in the Apple TV Plex app settings. To my knowledge, you have to make sure the "Enable Dolby Digital on Apple TV" checkbox in the PMS server options is ticked under the advanced transcoder settings in order to make that work. Still, the ideal scenario in any Plex eco system is to have the main home theater device Direct Play everything. Was hoping the new Apple TV would be that device but without DTS/DTS-HD/24p support, that's a big NOPE in my case. Is that a software limitation or hardware? I'm leaning towards hardware, but if it was software, there could be a tvOS update that could enable it. Part of the reason why I'm holding off on the new Apple TV is because of things like this.

So in theory, if I pre-optimize some movies for iOS, and then sync them, the server won't re-transcode the original and then just send the pre-optimized version to my iPad?

Jehde posted:Subsonic is to music what Plex is to videos. They can both do both, but they're tailored for their respective focuses. Plex seems to be getting involved with Music more now. I personally haven't dived into the music aspect, has anyone got a short review of Plex's music features and if they're good?

I can confirm when you make an optimized version of a video (i.e. for mobile), when you do an offline sync of that, the optimized version is sent directly to your device. No more waiting for the server to convert! Saved me a ton of time before my last road trip.

Anyone unable to play any video file at ALL with the latest Plex for Android TV update? Basically watching the console on my Plex server, I see connection being made then it basically gives up with a connection reset error. Tried several videos, all of them were popping up with the same issue. *sigh* This app is a piece of poo poo on Android TV. Works awesome on every other platform I have it on, but not on my TV. I ended up having to cast from my iPhone to the TV.

What does everyone have their Transcoder default throttle buffer set to? I was reading that changing it from the default of 60 to something higher is a good thing?

Matt Zerella posted:I just did my fresh install and it defaulted to 120 seconds. This is going to a 4GB ram disk for me (so I dont wear out my SSD cache). I bumped mine up to 600 because I was often having issues with buffering/stuttering, and I've watched a couple of shows with the new setting and haven't had any issues so far, so hopefully that fixed it.

I'm having issues with Plex Music. I have Lidarr and I put a few albums in separate folders with proper naming, but Plex is putting all of the songs as one album. Any ideas?
