Is there a simple way to separate kids movies and tv shows from my stuff so that they don’t somehow pick wondershowzen or something they think is for them? My first thought was creating a separate library and hiding the main libraries on the TVs they use, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a better way

Yeah I have Kids TV and Kids Movies libraries. As a bonus, then they don't get surfaced on my Home as suggestions.

Separate libraries is probably the surest way. You can also have users that are gated by age classification of your content but I think especially if you're not going by US ratings the results can be a bit unpredictable.

There's a handful of PG movies in my library that are too much for kids, so I've got it set up to where I can slap a "not-kids" tag on something and that'll guarantee it gets filtered out of their view.

The reverse is also possible.There are some movies that are PG but I'm fine with my 4 year old watching (ex: Hocus Pocus) and for that stuff I add a "Family" tag and she gets access. I don't maintain separate libraries for movies, but I do for kids shows. Movies are more likely to stick around, but I feel like someday I'll get to reclaim the space Pepa Pig and Paw Patrol take up.

I keep everything in my main libraries, and have separate kids movie and tv folders with softlinks from the main folders. Plex picks it up like it would actual files, it works pretty well.

Yet another feature they launched and never touch or update again Man, you just can’t please everybody. It’s on by default because they actually want people to use it instead of the 5% of users who stumble upon it in the settings.

Just to weigh in on the kids stuff having a separate library. If you're running docket I highly recommend setting up dedicated sonarr and radarr containers for the kid stuff/any other separate libraries.

PRADA SLUT posted:Are people using Docker to run Plex on a Synology? I'm installing the binary directly on-NAS right now, but it's annoying to keep updating it. I've only ever used the app package and manually update it whenever there's a Plex server update that's worthwhile. Kind of crazy how out of date the Synology app is. Finally got TDARR up and running with my gaming PC (9700K and a 3080) as the transcode node and pleasantly surprised. A lot of Googling was showing people with 3080s getting transcode rates of around 120-150fps total but I'm getting above 400fps routinely.

Warbird posted:I used to do that but moved to the app package as I could never get hardware transcoding to place nice with the Docker Plex. It's actually doable via the docker container now. It used to drive me batty how out of date the synology package was and it turns out you just need to map the GPU drivers to the container in order to get hardware acceleration working in the image.

Nice thing is that you can do tone mapping via the docker image, which can't be done in the synology app.

For Intel QuickSync, this is the correct answer. Note that if you're using swarm mode, it won't work. This only works with docker-compose.

iPod facto, you should be using compose to begin with. Also the Syn packages are kept up to date as much as any others. You just have to do it manually but the process is painless. And no, I’m not fixing auto correct and I don’t know if that’s how the expression is used.

Anyone ever tried using Ezarr? Didn’t know it existed until I checked out the trash guides. I haven’t had time to set up my stuff yet, just got a fresh ubuntu LTS install up and running but I might give it a shot. Worst case scenario I just start from scratch, it seems quick enough to set up.

Plex is transcoding video on a file* that it should direct play. I think the problem is the audio, the file has DTS which my sound system can't handle. However, transcoding the audio seems to also force transcode on the video. If I turn off the audio passthrough or select and AC3 audio stream then everything direct plays. I expect it's something to do with the container but I don't know? Does plex say anywhere why it's transcoding? *edit: On furter examination it seems like it's on all 4k HEVC files.

That Works posted:Just a rule it out you’re not running subtitles are you? Nope, no subtitles. I've gone through the usual suspects, running locally, hardwired to the router using a Shield as the client. Like I said, if I turn off the audio pass-through so the audio isn't transcoding either then the video also direct plays.

Check H264 level limit in the client device that's forcing a transcode? I'm honestly not sure if that's still a thing though, or even an option you can still change in the Plex client app settings, but I do remember not having a client app set to H264 level 5.1+ would force a transcode on specific files due to the bitrate cap imposed per level.

It' still changeable but even disabling it entirely doesn't make a difference. Further info if it helps; the video codec is H265 but it's getting transcoded to h264. edit: I've just created a new ac3 audio stream with tdarr and using that stream everything direct plays so Plex is definitely doing something weird transcoding the video with DTS. It's unideal to convert my entire library so would really like to get to the bottom of what's up with Plex. Tea Bone fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Feb 20, 2023 |

cruft posted:e: actually, that wouldn't be the worst thing. The setup would be more difficult, but I already have a public authenticated WebDAV server running on the media libraries, which Kodi supports. And this would basically force people to never transcode. Hmm.... To follow up on this thought: the reason you don't want to do this is because it means Kodi has to open and read every single file over the network to determine metadata. It's going to hammer your web server and your network connection. It's a bad idea. Jellyfin will be faster, even if you're getting the "thundering herd library scan" problems I'm getting. And Plex will blow this out of the water.

Jellyfin update: I'm trying to chase down a Jellyfin bug that makes it slow AF, so I'm running it as my main driver now, so I can debug. I hate y'all for somehow making me do this despite nobody actually suggesting I do it. Anyway, thought the thread might enjoy this screencap of Jellyfin getting confused

My searches in Sonarr are unbelievably loving slow. Like 5 minutes to get results in a manual search. I have Jackett and NZBHydra2 linked to Sonarr. Jackett has about 10 sources, but only two are "passed" to Sonarr. NZBHydra has two sources. Sonarr has only those three sources in the "Indexers" tab (the two from Jackett and the one "macro-source" from NZBHydra). Is there a guide on how to correctly set up these services such that searching isn't so slow? I assume Sonarr is searching all sorts of garbage that's completely irrelevant and I haven't configured it correctly, but I'm not sure how to check.

I've never used jackett so can't advise there. But under the history and stats tab on hydra, you can goto search history and view and repeat whatever sonarr is searching. Is hydra itself taking a long time to return results? If so I'd disable each indexer on there to see if either of them are the culprit.

You might have a slow rear end source in there somewhere. I have 5 sources configured and a manual search takes about 30-40s, using jackett into sonarr. Mind, this is also configured to only search the relevant categories. I don't know how it might impact your search times if you don't fully configure that.

I was reading about macvlan's in Docker and if I'm reading this right, you can use it to make your containers appear as devices on the host network? This idea holds a lot of appeal if so. My container setup is pretty simple, just some starrs, Plex etc in a docker-compose file. Anyone done this before? Is it a bigger pain in the rear end than it's worth even in small setups?

I played around with it a little bit, but generally each service will be on a different port, so there isn't much use to giving each its own IP too. Maybe you might have a good reason to have the public side a reverse proxy show up as its own host on the network.

It’s a little hinky to wrap your head around but is pretty painless one you get it going. Generally you’d be better off just yeeting a port at it, but for some stuff like DNS or RPs you’re going to want to reserve 80/443 for use with the container, but you do you. Plex wouldn’t really benefit from this but if you want documentation I think I have a bookmark around here with a decent example.

Speaking of docker compose, I’m teaching myself all this stuff and have a (maybe) dumb question. I’m getting my containers set up and binding the proper directories to them. I know people have automated systems where they can search out movies/shows and download them. When set up properly, does radarr/sonarr create new directories for each show/movie added? Or if I go to my home/user/data/media/tv directory will it just be a long list of jumbled tv show episodes after a while?

Yeah they'll organize stuff into directories by default, and there are some related config options like whether sonarr will create season directories.

Cool, good to know. I’m still very early in the process but this is a lot of interesting and cool stuff. I already got my plex container in an error loop and it generated about 150 crash reports before I figured out how to kill it. Fun!

Alright, USFF PC has arrived. Going to migrate my Plex server from a VM on ESXi to a physical. I want some quick sync goodness. Now the question is, will I wait for a sale on Plex pass, or just say gently caress it.
