Wonder if that is an OS specific thing that might work on one but not another. Only one way to find out! In other news, WD charging less for a 16tb Red Pro than a 14tb combined with PayPal doing a 12% cash back offer that I then pushed onto a 3% cash back card in turn… I guess my movie collection can get even more esoteric and offputting than ever before. Of course had to add a new 4 bay drive enclosure because I’ve run out, expensive night.

The PayPal link you have to follow (then pay with PayPal naturally) https://www.paypal.com/shopping/store-profile/PD8DQ9PRLVFFS No idea how long or how that particular cash back works. Presumably as a credit after x days/months. The drive I chose is on this page https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-red-pro-sata-hdd $249 for the 16, compared to $264 for the 14. Probably not the cheapest cheapest but I usually end up shucking WD external drives and I expect this Pro is a bit higher in the lineup these days now they just use white stickered ones. Alas WD give you a 10% off voucher if you sign up, but using that takes off the built in saving they already apply.

Did you see the 2x 18tb they were offering for $550? Mentions it by the add to cart button. If you’re getting two drives it might be worth going for that one if the $50 additional isn’t a ‘I’ve spent too much already’ thing. I hosed up first time round and bought a 14 and was able to cancel straight away.

Maybe i did the same. order cancelled in any case :/ Did you see the same purchase stuff as I did, but Paypal is supposed to credit me? I've never used a paypal discount before.

My current media harddrive is getting maxed out and I've been trying to figure out if I should buy a pre-build NAS, or build my own, or what to do. I bought this and its perfect, it fits on a nearby shelf and is super quiet. As long as I plug it into one of the USB 3.0 plugs its fast enough for 4k movies. Now I have room for growth too.

I realized my error, cancelled it and got the 16 at 249. Just a simple mistake from having too many tabs open as I was looking up prices on both capacities. I’ve not done cashback through PayPal before, I expect it just uses a built in referral link and when the purchase is verified it credits the account. It’s just a bonus for me really, I was going to buy anyway. E: oh I didn’t see your original edit when I last replied, I was typing when you edited I guess. Yeah it says it’s a cashback thing so it won’t take it off the purchase price but most likely a credit. They’re always a bit vague tbh.

Just a simple mistake from having too many tabs open as I was looking up prices on both capacities. Cool, hopefully they'll credit me, screenshotted the offer and my order confirmation just in case. I got that 18TB combo deal, sick! I DO have another 50 bucks! $515 all said and done for 36TB of storage. Not bad. Thanks for the tip. As an aside, I did the original purchase as a "guest" on the western digital site, and then panicked because I thought i wasn't getting the rebate or however it worked. I cancelled the order then I attempted to sign up for the site, cause why not? Anyhow I got a welcome message, attempted to login and it didn't like my username/password. I tried to reset my password, but it didn't send an email. Finally did chat support today after work and the guy was like "you bought this as a guest" and i told him what happened and he was like "go here and create an account" and I was like "i can't! the button is greyed out" and he goes "you're right, the site can't create new accounts right now, we'll send you an email when we have an update, goodbye" ten minutes later I get the chat log and another email saying "welcome to the site". Sounds like I broke the site and for almost a full day new logins weren't able to be created, and someone kicked the authentication server or whatever, and it woke back up.

My PC died recently (drive failed) and I just got it back with a fresh install of Windows. My Plex server is fine, because I am using an Nvidia Shield for that, but I have lost my Deluge/Jackett/Sonarr/Radarr setup I was using to pull things down automatically. Now that I have been forced to have this 'clean start' I wonder if I should set up Deluge/Jackett/Sonarr/Radarr again as they were, or is there a better way to do it? I had been looking at just ditching Jackett for Prowlarr.

Can definitely recommend moving to Prowlarr, I liked Jackett well enough but Prowlarr is just a bit easier to use/integrate. Also can recommend using Overseerr, eliminates the need to directly interact with Radarr and Sonarr, very convenient. Not sure if this was an issue for you, but the arr apps have a built in backup function. Point it to a folder that auto-syncs to Google Drive or another storage system. Definitely prefer restoring the database over re-scanning the libraries, especially if you like to sort stuff by Date Added.

I've changed Zero setting within Plex. It use to consistently add shows when they showed up in the watch folder. Now it has just stopped, and I have to manually click the 3 dots next to the library and hit "Scan Library Files" for stuff to show up now. Any reasons why? I don't really want to push it doing a scan every 15 minutes if it doesn't have to. All the boxes to scan library files on activity in the watch folder have been checked.

Did you move your library to a network volume? Plex can only get filesystem changes on a local drive. Or, has it always been on a network volume and maybe you changed something in an *arr, which can be set to poke plex to rescan after completing something to solve this exact issue.

It's on a Mac on Direct Attached Storage (12TB Drive over USB-C), and has never had a program scanning library files in the past. Literally went on vacation and haven't touched the computer in a week, and was wondering why during vacation I was not getting and show updates as I added them to my RSS feed. They downloaded just fine, but requires that forced media library scan to get them to show up. Strange.

NFS will probably be ok as it appears as a local filesystem. SMB might be a problem. If you're using the Arrs, you can use Autoscan to tell Plex there are new files and disable the disk scan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYBVAzJBw2w

Plex on my Linux box sees changes on my NAS fine over SMB, so I guess depends on OS. My previous Mac Mini server did not see any changes over SMB.

Interesting, that’ll be a fun problem for later potentially. Also, most *arrs have built in “let Plex know about new stuff” features iirc.

In Sonarr (for example) go to Settings > Connect and add Plex. If its there, make sure your IP or auth token didn't change.

Since a couple of updates ago, when doing a library scan plex will intermittently get stuck either "detecting intros" or "detecting credits". It will hang indefinitely (I've left it 24 hours) and cause my fans to ramp up. If I stop and restart the container and run the scan again it completes with no problems. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC Is currently $159 12th Intel Alder Lake- N95 3.4 GHz 8GB ram For a Plex server, do you need 16GB ram? This seems like a really good deal if I pair it with one or two of the 4-bay USB hard drive things.

I'm on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 running a whole mess of poo poo and RAM still isn't a problem. Also ARM64 is RISC so your Intel CPU is going to use a little less RAM for executables.

Apple TV people - does the new Actor view work in your Movie libraries? For me it’s fine in TV and watchlist views for movies when not specifically in my movie library, but if I go into mine specifically it reverts to the old style. My scanners and agents are all setup to use the new Plex Movie one. It’s been like this for ages.
