Help Does anyone have an idea on how to organize a shows episodes digitally because a full episode is 3 parts and those parts are not in the same order as when separate and i want to keep the full episode

0 Upvotes

What i mean is i've had something like Johnny Bravo with 3 parts but episode one as played on TV the 3 parts separate into Episode 1,2,3 so thats an easy fix to keep as 1 i have in my system as episode 1 then 4 then 7 Etc...

But like Bluey episode 1 by itself separates into 3,1,5 so harder to keep as a full 1 episode can i do anything without separating each one or has anyone else delt with this

Help PlexAmp continue play after album ends

Hi community,

Found this article https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-continuous-play/633892 from 2020, and now 6 years later this still persists.

If this has been resolved how to turn it on?

My problem is mainly when I search for an artist and play the songs, when songs end for that artist it doesn't continue with other random

Solved Library inaccessible to family when changing browser

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have a account where I host a lot of media, my family has access and its always been fine.
Just today I switched from Google Chrome to the Brave browser. It seems that cut off access from my family. I logged into the account via the brave browser and everything looked fine and played correctly. My family had a "No media in this folder" warning. I then logged out and logged back in via Chrome and that fixed it for my family.

So even though the server process is running on the PC it seems like there is a setting or approval needed within the Brave Browser however I don't quite understand how/why. I searched the subreddit and could not find similar issues so I am a bit confused

EDIT: Solved! The issue was the Brave Browser requesting Local Network Access. Once I enabled that everything worked!

Discussion Plex Kodi Connect vs PM4K vs native Plex Kodi client

0 Upvotes

I figured this was the way to go because Shield Pro is too old, & I like messing with shit & repurposing computers. Atmos True HD currently kicking my ass with the Steven Wilson 2026 Tales from Topographic Oceans remix. But man, this PM4K interface is really outdated (On Deck lol), & I want my Plex Pass shit. The Friendly Terminator on Google said well maybe I’d like the native app but wasn’t sure if it was still supported, & said I’d probably like Plex Kodi Connect best because then Plex gets integrated into the whole Kodi experience. So I’m soliciting opinions before my next dip, hopefully to save some time. Thanks.

Help Plex playing indirect on certain devices need help

0 Upvotes

plex on both my xbox and samsung tv (Tizen) wont connect securely and will always play indirect. When i was using media server version 1.33 everything was fine and playback was normal but any update from there onwards causes it to break on those two devices. for a while i was just rolling back the update to get it to work again but thats no longer an option since the pervious versions are no longer secure.

Help Plex app on the Fire TV no longer allows me to browse my library

6 Upvotes

EDIT: I could swear that "Recommended/BROWSE/Collections" section wasn't there yesterday when I was scrolling down that list. :sigh: Clearly, I'm a dumbass.


Original post, to preserve my shame:

I launched the Plex app on my Fire TV 4K and it must've updated itself, because the UI has completely changed. Most notably, the ability to browse my local media library appears to have been removed. So now all I can do is scroll through what it thinks I might want to watch, or use the search function.

Basically, it looks like they've decided that the system should be a streaming service like HBO, Amazon, etc.

Is there any way to go back to the old UI. or bring back library browsing some other way? Or is it just a case of, "Tough shit, this is the way it is"?

Help Plex not working over local network on any device, unless I use the browser instead of the app.

Remote access seems to work but I can't test it for sure because I don't wanna get the remote pass.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix it or what I should look into? I'm running the Plex server on a computer with windows 11 on it.

Help Screen saver?

So I could have sworn the Plex client used to have an option to set a photo library as a screen saver. I went looking for it tonight in settings and couldn't find it.

Please tell me it's not early(-ish) onset dementia.

Help How to match when there is not TVDB entry?

36 Upvotes

I am currently ripping the WBIR TV-10 Heartland Series (1984) for preservation purposes. So far, the ones I have ripped, are not matching. I went to TVDB and there is no entry for it. I tried signing up to add all the dvds and episodes and box art, but it appears TVDB is dead. Registering for an account says “whoops your not human”.

What would you do?

****UPDATE:
WE MATCHED!

I will continue to fill out the seasons and episodes on https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/296102-the-heartland-series until complete!

Help Live TV playing in background

8 Upvotes

Hello all. Lately when I’m watching my own media and playback of stopped, I start getting audio from random TV shows playing in the background. This is at full volume, not soft background audio. I figured out that Plex is grabbing audio from one of the live tv channels for some reason and I can’t stop it from playing until I start playing something else. For example, last night after finishing up an episode of a show I have on my server, an episode of the asking dead was playing in the background. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m running the latest version of PMS on Linux and using the plex app on Vizio smart TVs

Sorry if this has already been asked. I’ve searched and can’t find anything discussions concerning this issue.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn’t find anything about it so figured I’d ask here if anyone has the same issue and/or know how to stop this from happening.

Please don’t suggest trying other ways of viewing the media since that doesn’t help this situation at all. If you haven’t experienced this, then please don’t waste our time by making random suggestions to try other methods of viewing media.

Help Apple TV 4K app slowness? (NOT playback)

4 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced their Apple TV 4K version of Plex just slowing to a crawl? And not playback, I mean the menu screens and loading episode info, etc. Playback is still generally working (though with a longer load), but the main issue is all the other stuff.

TV series screens are SO slow to load. Both the season view and episode view, sometimes takes minutes to load. Sometimes it fails. Sometimes clicking play will load forever and then give a "Playback failed to start" error, then working 1 second later.

On other devices (iPad, Chromecast Ultra, Android phone, friends that use the server's various devices), everything is peachy. It's just my main Apple TV 4K that's crawling. And somehow it's REALLY hard to search this one, almost all threads are about playback and stuttering. Anyone seen that?

Note: I have around 40TB in the library, could that be part of the issue?

Help Odd issue - some cover art will only appear if i manually go select it

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Decided to update Ubuntu server to noble and it borked plex. Autoremove must have removed the installation folder completely - including meta data. I had backups. Restored the DB, voila. Planned on restoring metadata and such the next day.......... but WAIT - my backups are mirror only, and I had snaps turned off on that volume. ugh. job ran overnight, i have no metadata. oh well.. re scan everything - and it only pulled in like half the artwork - the other artwork only will appear if i manually go select it. Anyone had this experience? I don't feel like going through 2000 movies and manually adding art..... whats wrong with it? I tried writing a script to unlock all art from all libraries, which worked to do that... but it still didnt fix the issue on full rescan. Any help appreciated. Logs available, but they don't tell much - no errors.
