They have 0 clue how to handle anime. They're so annoyed by anime nerds that they lock 99% of them and just won't answer posts to fix them without an act from congress. Plex addons for other scrapers don't work half as well so it's 1 giant irritation.

withak posted:To be fair, anime nerds have brought this on themselves. Yes and no. This is like saying gun owners brought any gun issue on themselves. There are dumb fans and smart fans. Those of us who are trying to just clean things up with sources, that TVDB have deemed proper, are ignored because the idiot fans are running around and doing whatever. There are QUITE a number of series that are locked "until the new site comes up". That message was used as an excuse 2 years ago and is still used today. There are shows that are just plain wrong. This show for example has 1 season with the total episodes for the run. Seasons 2-4 are the same episodes split into arcs. They also don't follow their own rules for the most part. TheTVDB posted:What Qualifies as a Series: There are movies listed in TV series as specials. Pointing out these are movies are ignored or met with an excuse. There are also shows that are treated as seasons of the same show instead of seperate shows. The answer is "same universe. same show". This is regardless of if that actually fits the description. I rant because it's very frustrating and there is no option because most applications like Sickbeard and Plex use TVDB so we're forced to use 3rd party things to just have a semblance of organization. I understand that having seasons as the US audience knows is different from how Japan or even the UK handles things but shutting everyone out is not the way to fix it.

Is there a way to check for channels on Plex without your own server? My PC is down right this minute but wanted to check for a ustream channel possibly. I've got 1 TV I actually watch live ever and it gets re-streamed through UStream and my Chromecast is being a dick right now

I'm not sure if it's a Roku issue or a Plex issue but occasionally, subtitles will just not bother loading. Plex sees them and they're turned on but nothing displays. I've tried other devices in test and they seem to work fine. Is there a particular format Plex likes more than others? I also tried the Burn-in subtitles feature but still nothing.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to house 30++ active drives. I could almost do this now if I wanted to myself but man, the electricity factor alone is such a huge turn off to me it's not even funny. Even if the guy has a huge house and it's no big deal turning a spare bedroom into a server closet, that's still super wasteful in my opinion. How would you even list that in Plex? Lord knows TVDB doesn't do odd stuff like sports and one off videos.

I've run into an issue twice where Plex just forgets I have any media in my folders. If I do a scan, I can see the bar at the bottom finding things but nothing actually shows up in the Library. Filenames haven't changed since it worked. If I do a repair, there's a chance that it'll work again until I reboot. All media is stored on a NAS mapped to drives on the PC PMS is on. Anyone have any ideas? Version 1.10.1.4602

Has anyone run into an issue with short videos where auto-play will just skip an episode? If we go back and tell it to replay the missed episode, it’ll work fine so I know it isn’t the file. For more clarity, the timeline goes Episode starts 10 seconds later Plex skips to the next episode Plays next episode fine Only on shorter shows oddly.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:haha I'd be happy to but you'd all probably be mad the way I encoded them. I set it in handbrake to rip them at 8mbps to mp4 because I didn't want any quality loss, and typical DVDs are 8mbps. So my torrent would be just as large as the DVD ISO one. But yeah, I did all the annoying ripping and converting and naming work already so if someone really wants them I am sure we can figure something out. I don't think size is a concern my dude. That is a ton of work. FCKGW posted:We really need some sort of decentralized open-source TVDB. Preferably on the blockchain.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:Yeah man I am currently battling episodes of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and its titles. I have it recording from the antenna on my roof to the HD Homerun Connect and Plex records the episodes. Even with Plex handling literally everything, all the episode names are messed up because the show is 30 minutes long, with two 15 minute episodes for each episode (just like Beavis and Butthead now that I think about it), and Plex even names the file names themselves properly. But the metadata is completely wrong because it shows up as one 30 minute episode instead of two 30 minute episodes, and everything is completely out of wack as a result and it's probably going to miss recording a ton of episodes because it thinks I have them already. 1st world problems I know but I used two goddamn ladders to get on my roof in 35 degree weather just for this one show and TVDB is messing with me. Keep in mind, TVDB tends to lean towards each title = episode. Daniel Tiger and other shows like it basically spawn 2 episodes per actual 30 min run time. I run into the same issue a lot. Kid shows are murderous for this.

I'm running into a kinda weird issue. I've got 1 TV show and 1 movie that just can't seem to grab metadata. Plex knows what they are. I've done a "Fix Match" on both. Cleared the agent cache. It just spins and never finds anything.

It's the file name. Add the year to the filename — Annabelle (2014).mkv — and see if that helps. I'll give that a shot. It might be what the bug is Laserface mentioned.

Just a shot in the dark, does anyone have a Plex Pass $75 code they don't need? The DVR setup just requires a tuner card and active "cable" or antenna? It might be worth it for some stuff. Does it integrate with your shows already on Plex? If I DVR Supernatural and I've already got the previous seasons ripped, does it just show there?

I had to get a new TV cause the old one died. I'm getting buffering when trying to play a HEVC 4k HDR 10bit mkv. I'm not sure if the bottleneck is my wireless, the TV, my Roku, or my PC. TV: LG C9 PC: Ryzen 5 1600 GPU: 1660ti Wireless is AC at least I believe. Any ideas? I did see that subtitles make it transcode so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get around that as I need subtitles pretty much all the time.

teagone posted:Oh, wait, it's a Roku? Or the TV's plex app? TheScott2K posted:You have AC wireless but are you sure your Roku isn't just N? A PC and a client sharing an N network with imperfect signal could have trouble keeping up. I've got a premier which has AC but I think I've got a long enough ethernet cable to try running it wired to see. I figured it was either the wireless or my PC. Nairbo posted:If you're using a C9 I wouldn't bother with the Roku. The WebOS Plex app is pretty good and I use it over even the Shield which is universally considered to be the best Plex player. It plays more content natively, for example it works on higher Ref Frames for direct playing videos than the Roku does. I've been indecisive on it. I'll probably switch over to it fully instead of my Roku unless I'm feeling like I'm missing an app, but so far, I'm not.

I tried Ethernet for my 4K buffering issues. Of course, it fixed it but I had to use the TV’s install of Plex. I don’t mind but I weep for my beautiful posters. Now I just need to figure out getting subtitles on it since those seem hit or miss.

I could probably get it to work on wireless but it's an excuse to finally run ethernet from my office closet to my living room for everything I have in there.  I didn't realize until after I made the post that I never did Ethernet to the Roku to test so it may be perfectly fine. I'll test it some time next week and see. It's finally cooling down here and my brother has a wall fishing kit so it won't be a big deal.

I am thoroughly confused. My setup: Synology DS213j w\ 2x8TB drives -> Gigabit router-> Plex on my PC TV is on Powerline adapter but Netflix speed test is getting around 70 Mbps to their servers. I tried running ethernet directly from the router to the TV and it still buffers. 1080p is fine. Wireless or Wired. 4K buffers regardless of connection. PC: Ryzen 5 1600 16GB DDR 4 GTX 1660ti Plex itself is on an SSD (just weeding out possibles) Hardware Acceleration is on Any ideas why I'd be unable to do 4K encodes to a Roku or LG C9 TV? I've tried Plex on both. Irritated Goat fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jan 2, 2020 |

THF13 posted:For Irritated Goat the TVs/roku might not be able to handle the bitrates of the files you are trying to play. I don't know what their specs are precisely, but the latest Amazon 4k fire stick is only specced to handle 35Mbps h265 videos. It ended up being the audio. Roku or my LG TV can't handle TrueHD so switching to a handled format and turning off subs makes it work fine. I do need to figure out how to do subs since I have issues hearing.

I just can’t justify $200 for the normal shield when my Roku 4K stick does the job most of the time with local content. If I recall, Shield can be used as a Plex server so your 4K stick is still useful.

For the anime question a couple of pages ago: I add them in as Anime. Tag them with something like the show name. Create a profile for my desired release group that requires the group's name and the tag for the show. Boom. I rarely have any issues. It's only when I dump in a full season do I have to massage it a bit.
