I wish there was a reasonable YouTube metadata client. I've gotten pretty good with youtube-dl and can even embed most of the metadata (including thumbnail) when I grab a video, but it would still be nice for Plex to have a scanner that was worth a drat.

Is there any reason that my plex is only transcoding 1mb to someone outside my network? I invited a friend to watch and it won't go over 1mb to him. Nothing is being blocked, Plex is on its own box, I have GB internet as well.

It says my remote access is fully accessible outside my network, and I have no idea if its using the Relay or not, is there a way to test? The remote access does bounce back and forth between being available and not available, disabling remote access and re-enabling usually brings it back up. There should be absolutely nothing on my network blocking it or the stream.

Clients default to 720p 3mbit so get them check their end, although 1mbps is naturally less than that which is odd. Might be worth advising what client they're running on, and have them check on something else if possible. If you have plexpass there's also a limiter in the Remote Access tab that can effect this.

Also it could also just be ISP routing and you'll never be able to fix it, but that's only what happened to me and trying to figure out was a pain in the rear end. My server is with Bell and the client was Rogers and we could not get over 4mbps no matter what we did Hopefully that's not the case with you situation!

Under Settings -> Network check to see if "Enable Relay" is not active, if the box there isn't ticked and remote access still works, it's not going through relay.

Took me a second to remember why this sounded so familiar... The Life & Times of Tim does this (every episode is two 12 minute stories) and Plex matched every other episode and numbered them 1, 3, 5 etc... I just had to go in and manually paste the 2nd 'episode' title into the first to get them to show up somewhat reasonably. Everybody should watch Life & Times btw, it's like Always Sunny 'horrible people in horrible situations' if no one ever got angry or raised their voices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2On-dpPw2bs

It's not ideal, but it does well enough. It weirdly seems to hate certain youtube channels for reasons unknown, but it's about all you've got.

That's more or less been my experience with it. The dev seems pretty responsive if you're up to babysit an issue on GH for a day or two.

Thanks! I'll tinker with this a bit this weekend.

Spent some time with this tonight and here is what I am doing now: youtube-dl -o '/home/username/Downloads/Videos/%(title)s.%(ext)s' --write-description --write-annotations --write-thumbnail -f bestvideo+bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/example Then I throw that in a folder on my plex storage drive and I added a library under Other Videos. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Grabs the thumbnail for the cover and grabs the description. I havent played around trying to add videos as a season though or anything like that.

What's the deal with certain files just not showing up in my Plex library? It's frustrating knowing that any time I add new media, even if its folder hierarchy and file naming conventions are in line, there's always a small chance Plex simply won't recognize it. Sometimes even certain episodes and seasons of a show will be missing, despite being in the exact folder with the exact same file name conventions as other seasons that play just fine - for example, I just checked and seasons 11-13 of King of the Hill are on the hard drive, but they simply will not show up.

So Plex no longer supports plugins? Does anyone have any recommendations for scanning the Plex directories and reporting what isn't matched in Plex? I know there used to be a plugin for that but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Sorry, is this one of the database files Plex creates on any volume attached to your Plex Media Server? I'm doing things in kind of a caveman way, because my computer is an older Mac and I have my NVidia Shield handling the Media Server duty: I literally have to pull HDDs from an enclosure and drop them in a drive caddy attached to my computer in order to move media to them.

Sounds like it could be a permissions thing. Take a look at the group owner for the files, at least on linux, plex wants the group as video. I have issues sometimes where things don't show up, if I chgrp the file to video it works fine.

Nah. Windows appends “- copy” to a file name if you copy and paste it into the same location that’s all. Plex always spots that one. But you can rename the already existing file all day long and it won’t pick up.

Is there a way to have Windows automatically backup a file from one drive to another? I realize local backups are not ideal, but I figure the chances of me losing both my OS SSD and storage HDDs simultaneously is pretty low, so I'd like to just have it copy the Plex database from the SDD to the HDDs daily or something. I guess if I knew anything about scripting, this is a thing I could knock together lol.

Yes, they rolled backup into what is now called windows file history, and you can definitely tell it to take the files from "here" and make copies "there"

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but it there any reasonable way to utilize multiple agents for a single library? I'm debating setting something up to handle Giant Bomb premium videos and it would be nice to have it wrangled where I watch their non premium stuff/Youtube videos.

I switched my internet over to Tmobile's Home thing, and it's been pretty great (250 down/25 up consistantly). I had AT&T that struggled to get me 18 up. Ping times are comparable and my COD hasn't suffered. (I'm rural until I found the TMo thing AT&T was the only thing I could get - or satellite) The only thing that's been a hassle is Plex. I was able to port forward and assign static IP's internally before TMo, and AT&T pretty much assigned a static IP, as I never saw the external IP change in the several years I had it. So, I can't get remote access to work - and TMo doesn't really care. I have been able to make the relay work some of the time. My question is; would something like OpenDNS or DynDNS be a solution here? Or without port forwarding am I kind of screwed.

It gives you an internalized vpn that you can reach from any internet device running it. It changes your ip's to 100.xxx but then its cake.

Windows has a built-in command line utility named "robocopy" that you can use to copy/mirror a set of files and folders. I have a job set up in Task Scheduler to run a one-line .bat file with a robocopy command once a week, in order to back up my Plex metadata to a network drive. Dunno if that's the best way to do this, but it works for me.
