plex

Looking for recommendations on a streaming box to connect my TV to plex. I have a lot of 4k blu ray rips averaging 80-100mbps and I’m struggling to find a client that can handle it. First I had a Roku, which had network bandwidth issues. So I moved to the new fire stick 4k max, which still buffers like crazy. I don’t think...

From a given show Plex allows you to search for a subtitles off of OpenSubtitles (the .org I guess?), but many (all?) contain spam messages within the texts....

Hey guys, I’ve never used Plex before but am looking to set up a server this week for me and my family as streaming bills are getting out of control. I have a small library of legally acquired media that will work as a good test before I go sailing for the rest....

Lately my episode guide is showing episode titles, but not the show name. This isn’t all that useful and I’d prefer the old behavior....

Sorry, don’t mean to beat a dead horse but what’s the best currently available Plex client all things considered?

I think I have quite a few items in my library with both a 720p and 1080p version stored on disk. I’d like to find them but can’t figure out how to do that through the interface. Is there a way? The closest I found was creating a collection where “Episode Duplicate” is true - but that is still like finding a needle in a...

I love clicking through the cast of movies but I wish I could do the same the creators of movies/shows.

I run a Plex server on in a Docker container on a Linux machine in my house on a Verizon FiOS internet connection. I’ve shared my library with many people and no one has a problem. Except one person who uses optimum.net as their service provider. When in their house I can’t direct connect to my Plex server, and everything...

I’ve swipped left/right, I’ve long clicked, and I’ve check menus and I don’t see how to delete.

We both setup servers at about the same time a few years ago and shared with each other. I’m sure once the dust settles someone will pull the he plug on his server and it’ll be offline for good....

Remote Access status on my Plex server says it’s “Not available outside your network.” However, the couple of people I currently share my server with have no issues accessing it, I’ve verified port forwarding settings, I just loaded up the Plex app on my phone (wifi off, on cellular) and everything loads up fine....

Weekly Advice / No Stupid Questions Post...

So I have a kind of interesting situation going on here. I recently replaced my gaming rig’s 2080 with a 4070ti that I picked up at a good price. Then, I put the 2080 into my home server and got it up and running with plex....

I share my server with a few handful of family members and friends and it just feels really nice watching the dashboard when someone streams content from you.

The Main Question...

I might be a little OCD about all this, but sometimes when I browse my Plex I notice that Plex changes the artwork of my film collection. This is quite annoying....

I’m starting to create managed user accounts for my two daughters on plex. They are 7 and 4, so movies I’m giving them access to consist mostly of Pixar/Disney type stuff. Well, when I log into their users, it has recently added movies and TV shows, which show appropriatle the things I’ve given access to from my server....

I know how to turn off the notifications, but Plex should not nag me to rate things I have watched.

Any idea why this would happen. I think it’s mostly (if not always on my roku that I’ve noticed it....

Anyone know of a way to auto skip nudity in movies and shows?
