SyHopeful posted:Well Plex is pretty clear about your media organization, and I did as you suggested last night and because all my media is in one folder that was no sorting by movie/tv show/etc. With quite a few files that makes it tedious to do all the scrolling via tablet or other mobile device. Filebot is pretty decent. On another note, does anyone know of a program that can pull subtitles for me? The built in plex opensubtitles plugin basically never works, and using plex tools to download subs is tedious as hell. I miss this so drat much from xbmc...

Parlett316 posted:I don't know why I waited so long to get on this Plex train but it's loving sweet. I haven't dug deep yet but how does Plex react to weird one off videos that may not be in a TVDB library. I have a bunch of videos that thetvdb doesn't like, and it works fine. Google plex agents if you need further help I guess.

Plex is loving terrible when dealing with subtitles. I don't know of a better way to automate this using windows, so for stuff I really want I just manually download them.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but XBMC has very good built-in subtitle support now. If I had to have subtitles for everything I wouldn't hesitate to use xbmc over plex.

Canuckistan posted:Is the plex pass worthwhile? It depends on if you want the features it provides. Overall I would say yes but not knowing anything you are trying to do is pretty impossible to make a recommendation. Plex has a weird thing where paid Plexpass memebers get access to early things to beta-test, and then things get released to the unpaid masses.

bbcisdabomb posted:Do I need the Plex app to play media on my Chromecast from my phone? I'm not sure if I need the app or if my CC just isn't getting any signal from my router. Yes you need either apps or you can also cast from your plex server website on your computer. Can you cast from the youtube app? Sounds like you need to turn off client isolation or something. https://support.google.com/chromecast/?hl=en#topic=3447927

Looking to replace my parents HP Microserver with something that can transcode for Plex. I see from earlier this spring the Dell t20 would be a good deal, is there anything similar or better than this? I prefer to not build it myself. I would like 4-6 hard drive bays if possible.

teagone posted:Playlists are now available to everyone (finally!). I made a playlist with all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in order that's playing right now in the background. Holy poo poo extras its about loving time. It sounds pretty Plex-like that the feature is pretty broken, I have been trying to get Plex sync to work better and its a nightmare so I gave up on it and am just copying the whole mkv to my device manually.

Just stumbled across the new subtitle addon, might be worth looking into. Ever since opensubtitles addon decided to download 20 different subtitles for my movies I have been looking for something else. To get rid of them you need to remove the library and re-add it  https://github.com/Diaoul/subliminal

teagone posted:The Dell PowerEdge T20 you mentioned I'd say is the equivalent to the TS140. A T20 with a Haswell Pentium that will be serving content from Plex directly (i.e., your clients will Direct Play media) would be perfect. iPad, Chromecast. Looking into it more I just might build it myself, thanks for looking though.

havenwaters posted:Huh, weird. Might not be able to keep it from showing up then. I tried again and it looks like its working ok after a fresh plex server install. Also, what are people using now for local metadata downloading? I prefer to have my files alongside my media files. Mediabrowser looks like it can do it, but it puts the tv files into the root directory when they need to be in the season folder.

Unacknowledged posted:With a PlexPass and using the sync feature in iOS, is it possible to use that as an automatic way to sync video and transfer them to a computer (probably via iTunes)? Like, the VLC app lets you drag/drop video in iTunes under the apps tab, and if you go to another computer, go back to that screen in iTunes, you can drag those files out of there (off the phone) right onto the new computer. It's really handy. I just want to know if the Plex sync feature would allow the same type of behavior, just without requiring me to be physically at a computer / plugged in and in iTunes when transferring to the phone. When you sync something to your mobile device it will transcode the file. I don't think this is what you are looking for, could you not just download the file via Plex/Web?

You can pin a show to your device, you can also set it up to auto-pin unwatched episodes. Also looks like Android finally got play queues, my app just updated.

Smello posted:So I just discovered Plex yesterday and I'm really liking what it can do so far. The ability to just play whatever, wherever is pretty amazing so far. Trying to decide whether to buy the lifetime pass before the price hike. Mediabrowser is a direct competitor. Their setup is free server setup, with fees placed on mobile apps and paid plugins.

What does it mean that the PS4 app needs a separate server? "No, really, when will it be available in my country? We really don’t have specific dates we can give you, it takes a while to work out all the details with Sony. Just know we’re working hard to make it available as widely as possible! What about PlayStation® TV or PlayStation® Vita? Those devices have different software platforms, and we have no current plans to support them. How long is the Plex Pass preview period? The preview period doesn’t last for a fixed amount of time. When the app is deemed ready to graduate, we throw a cap and gown on it. Where are music, photos, and channels? We’re working hard to bring these features to the app (as well as the other apps which launched with video-only support). Does it support Plex Home? There is no fast user switching yet, but you can sign into the app with any non-managed account and any restrictions set will be reflected. Does the app support MKV? DTS? You can read this article to see all the details on supported media formats. Does the app need a separate Plex Media Server? Yes, it does."

I know XBMC used to do this, and I'd like to keep a backup of my data (and don't really want to use an external tool for the few sections I need to do it by hand, the Plex editor is decent enough for me). Not that I know of - you have to manually save poo poo to the directory. Its quite irritating. If anyone know how to do this (easily) please share...
