Brain Curry posted:I switched to OpenPHT a while ago and it's been fine for me. Is there really a big improvement between the old PHT and this new player? The only issue I have with OpenPHT is the same one that made me give up the old PHT: if I hit play from an area with a lot of episodes, like a show folder or a season folder, it will eventually start skipping episodes. For example, if I have episodes 1-10 in a folder, it would play 1, then 2, then maybe 5, then 6, and then 10. It makes no sense, but that may be reason enough to move to the new client even though the mouse support messes up my workflow.

Housh posted:I have a two part documentary I can't get to properly show up on Plex. It finds the metadata only if I put it in the movie library but it stacks both parts and doesn't let you play part two. Is there a way to force it to show up in the TV library and then manually fill in the metadata? In this sort of situation, I've had pretty good luck with naming files *.cd1 and *.cd2. That makes it show up as 1 video and it'll play as 1 video. EDIT: *.cd1.avi and *.cd2.avi, sorry

Shumagorath posted:I bought myself an ethernet kit (with mediocre punch tool that's worse than the flathead screwdriver it came with) and went to all the trouble of wiring up my XBox only for Plex to still get stuck buffering every 20min while playing x265 content. What should I look for to fix this other than just ferrying poo poo to my laptop on USB? I've had a similar problem when the HDD on my Plex server got full.

It's been a year or so since I've needed to do it, but queuing up a list to sync and letting it run with the app open was the only way I could get it to work for iOS. I don't use it a ton, but it would be nice if it wasn't such a puzzle to make it work.

Warbird posted:Does Plex still not play nice with symlinks? I've found a number of posts on the matter from a few years ago, so I'm not sure if the issue lies with Plex or me goobering something up with the softlink. They worked for me, I was able to create a new library out of softlinks in a new directory and play stuff. Didn't try anything more complicated than that though.

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? https://www.plex.tv/blog/go-ahead-and-skip-that-intro/

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:Two odd questions if I may: All of my standup specials are in the movie directory and they scrape fine. TraderStav posted:I enabled it two nights ago and it came up when I was watching last night on my AppleTV. The Skip Intro button came in earlier than I had expected, unlike Netflix that shows up right when the Intro begins, but sticks around so when it starts you can press it. It worked as expected for the show I was watching. I'm GUESSING they're analyzing what part of the series/season has the same pattern and using that time index to identify the introduction. According to the instructions they posted, it should work, but I'm using web and don't know how to check the version. I guess I could try it on my Roku, but

calandryll posted:I have a bunch of Beavis and Butt-head episodes that I'd like to get into Plex. However they are number 1-whatever. No season info or anything like that. Easiest way to do it? I opened each file in VLC to check the title, then changed the title on each episode then ran it thru FileBot to get proper season and episode numbers. Maybe not the easiest way to do it, but it's probably as correct as it's gonna get. It only took a few boring hours to get it done.

priznat posted:Are there any plugins that can take Plex shows/movies that you have rated highly (5stars) and then ensure they are backed up remotely? I don't think so. I move stuff I want to keep to a different directory, with an hourly cron job kicking off Rsync to move everything in that folder to my google drive. It works pretty well now, but was a real PITA getting set up because I'm bad at Linux.

Anonymouse Mook posted:My understanding is that it does a similar thing to the dvr commercial skip. It analyses the episodes and tries to find a common section that would likely be an intro clip. It seems like it's per season? It was pretty hit and miss while for all of Futurama, but I couldn't find a pattern.

TheScott2K posted:Honestly, movie studios don't seem to truly "get" what 2.0 users and non-audiophiles are looking for. I want a 2.0 track where the loudest things that happen in the movie happen at the same volume as dialog. Because yeah, I don't want to babysit the remote. The kids are asleep 30 feet away, and I want to hear what people are saying. I don't need explosions to be louder than what people are saying. I don't need music to fill the room. Volume leveling on the Roku works really well for fixing this, except it occasionally introduces popping that requires a reboot.

nexus6 posted:I pulled the trigger on Plex Pass. How can I check if the server on my Shield has updated? I grabbed the update from the Play store after I upgraded my account but I don't see a 'Skip Intro' button on any of my shows? Skip intro requires a full library rescan, and it didn't really work for me for a couple of weeks. It's pretty good on new stuff I add to the server these days.

Is there a good guide on where to start anywhere? I'm running a pfsense router with openvpn installed. When I connect to that server, everything is available like I'm at home. It's pretty nice. EDIT: Plex is port forwarded so I can use the apps. I've never tried to connect over vpn with that.

It completely went away right after I got a pop-up saying Plex was switching me over to some new home screen. It used to show it for both TV shows and movies. Is this on Roku? Mine never changed, I assumed because I haven't updated my server.

Gonna stick to checking daily and restarting manually when this happens How often does it break? I would write a batch file to cycle the service and schedule it to run daily (or whatever) that way I don't need to mess with it when it's TV time.

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:Is there any way to have Sonarr and Radarr not open my web browser every time the server boots up? I am obviously glad that they start with my computer (Windows 10 machine) but I simply would prefer they did not open a browser on boot. Is there any way to do this? I didn't see anything in Sonarr or Radarr settings. I believe if you configure it to run as a service it won't open any windows on boot.

I think I saw something recently where the latest version of plex server has an issue and was crashing for everyone. EDIT: previous page of this thread, actually: Housh posted:Yes. It's been crashing since the latest update on Windows. There are a lot of people posting in the Plex support forum and the dev team is aware. There is a dev in the forum that will send you a private beta version, if you send him your log file. I'm just gonna wait for them to push out the stable fix.

madsushi posted:Just posting that I have really enjoyed using Tailscale as a technology to get remote access to my stuff. Install it on my phone / laptop that I take places, and then onto a container on my server. Now I can get to everything, completely securely, including stuff like the IPMI for the server, etc. I found it to be a lot easier than reverse proxy for everything. Same, I run tailscale on my pfsense appliance and it rules. related to dockertalk, I'm trying to learn docker and am having weird issues with permissions, is there a decent thread for noobs like me somewhere?
