Hi,
I am pretty new to plex and have been googleing a way to split the plex metadata or something to that effect..
I have three shows ( A, B, C ).. When i load all three shows into plex, it shows all episode ones as show A... When I look at the edit info, I see that it sees all three files, but for some crazy reason it still says they are show A.
I have tried FileBot and still nothing... My naming convention is correct.

A time ago plex had an annoying issue that it wasn't staying full screen after turning off and on the tv and or receiver and that issue seems to be back? After closing PMP and starting it up again it directly goes to full screen again.
Also Only toggle the "full screen" option in settings menu fixes how the screen looks.
Is there anyway to prevent this?
Hi
I recently started using the HDHomerun Prime with PMS on NVIDIA SHIELD. The playback of live TV and recordings are not usable on the SHIELD (studdering, choppy, breaking down). I looked into the logs and it seems the hardware decoding may not be enabled (?)
Any thoughts?

07-01 17:16:45.321 i: [TranscodeSession] Direct Play
i recently added videos to my plex media server but i do not think that im going to be able to access them if i use a different computer other than the one with the files on it. in other words i do not think the files themselves have been uploaded to the plex site instead only the link to my computer drive containing the files. am i correct. is there any way to actually upload files so i could access them from any device? if so what is the maximum amount of space allowed for people without plex pass?
Tablo brought out a new tuner designed specifically for the Shield, but their Engine app only allows for one TV playback. Would you know if this new tuner (which supports 5.1, other tuners seem not to) works with Plex? If so this will give us a great whole-home live tv/dvr solution.
My files are called:
Kong - Skull Island (2017).eng.srt
Kong - Skull Island (2017).mkv
I have tried restarting the server and refreshing the library countless times but it's not working. I have this issue with another movie too that has embedded subtitles and doesn't detect my extra subtitles file.
Version 1.7.5.4035
Any ideas?
I have the new Android client and a synology NAS as server.
I have no problems to direct stream all my videos, but I can't sync my videos without transcoding. Is there a way to disable transcoding and force syncing my videos. I think it is up to me to choose a video play (like vlc) that can play my content on my android devices.
If there is a way to sync without transcoding please tell me <_<
Currently, there seems to be an issue with direct play of hevc mp4 files.
If the hardware acceleration is absent, it plays with a dark screen.
The hevc detection has always been touch and go.
Maybe a configuration to allow hevc file direct play would be more intuitive.
If you're like me and have a large collection of The Great Courses that you have downloaded, you would like there to be a metadata agent for these. Well, a while back I wrote code using urllib, BeautifulSoup and dryscrape to pull series summary, lecture titles, lecture descriptions, lecturer/professor, episode dates, ratings, fanart and poster art and was manually copying and pasting the data into my series. After a few times of doing this, I figured that I should spend the time to code a PLEX Agent for TGC. So I did. This has been tested only on Ubuntu 15.10 running the PLEX media server. No information on other systems is currently available.
The TGC.bundle https://github.com/bubonic/TGC.bundle that I ended up with doesn't use the PLEX HTMLparser API or the JSON API, but instead I did a quick hack of the code I had already written using urllib and BeautifulSoup and inserted this into my Agent. Thus, full compatibility is still a ways off, so we will call this a BETA release of the TGC Agent. It pulls everything but rating; adding incremental dates from the day of series addition so that after a lecture is watched the new one will appear in the On Deck portion of PLEX.
Even though my agent pulls lecturer/professor metadata from TGC website, I am still having issues populating episode.writers and episode.directors. I tried various means of populating this data to no avail. So if anyone has any insight as to what I need to do to get this populated please chime in. Right now I have:
episode.directors.clear()
episode.writers.clear()
episode.directors.add(lecturer)
episode.writers.add(lecturer)
The old documentation I found said this was a Set object, which I interpreted in various ways (i.e., as a Set object, as a string, as a list, so on and so forth). I even set these values to different types of objects containing the lecturer/professor data, however nothing seemed to work.
The rating was pulled using dryscrape which I believe is incompatible with the restricted PLEX python library. So that code has been commented out for now. Please carefully read the instructions on how to get the TGC Agent working for you. I will include the README.md from the git repository here for completeness.
For now, this PLEX Agent requires urllib/urllib2 and BeautifulSoup to run. Please have these installed in your python set-up.
Download the complete contents of this git project (git clone) and copy the bundle (TGC.bundle) to your PLEX plug-ins directory.
The appropriate plug-ins directory can be found on the PLEX website (https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201106098-How-do-I-find-the-Plug-Ins-folder-)
Be sure to restart the PLEX server after copying the Agent plug-in.
Rename your course to filenames of the type:
FULL COURSE NAME S01E## Some Text.ext
where E## is the lecture number. The Full Course name should be taken from TGC website.
The files must be renamed properly for this Agent to pull the data from TGC website.
Games People Play: Game Theory in Life, Business, and Beyond S01E01 The World of Game Theory.mp4
or
Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear, 2nd Edition S01E10 Blah.avi
Create a TV Shows Library in PLEX and set the primary agent to TGC. i.e.,
Add directories individually (not directories of directories) to your library. i.e.,
That should do the trick.
There remains a few minor bugs in this code which made me reluctant to release it, but no code is perfect. I'm very busy with multiple projects, but I will try to keep this updated whenever things change. Also, I have a TODO list for this Agent that is on the git repository and I do have ambitions to see them through, time permitting.
With that said:
Enjoy!

Habe hier noch ein älteren Samsung TV-UE40D6500 als zweit TV. Auf diesem habe ich auch die Plex-App installiert. Leider kann ich dort die Menüsprache nicht ändern. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit eine aktuellere Version als die Angebotene auf dem TV zu installieren.
What you guys have labeled as episode 1&2 is actually just the first episode which puts the whole rest of the season out of order. I verified with ibdm and the stargate homepage.
I have a user at another location connecting to my Plex Server and since yesterday he says nothing is playing just spinner going around and when I look at what he is playing it says buffering, can you please help me out.
Hello,
I was able to get VPN install on my computer, and when it's on I can still see my server on my TV. (Using UPnP) (BTW i'm giving whatever details I understand, as I am not very tech saavy but really like Plex and want to get it working with whatever little knowledge I have)
I have a TV bundle provided by @coder-alpha that I use a lot. I noticed that the videos play faster on my TV when I turn off the VPN on the computer where my server is. So I concluded that when VPN is on, it goes through there before coming back to my TV. I found a post on reddit about using OpenVPN and changing the config file, for remote access to Plex. I am really confused right now, I feel that is to get me access to the server? It will still be remote, and possibly my video playback still will be slower in buffering.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/40bvgv/solve_your_plex_remote_access_behind_vpn_issue/
If there a way I need to setup things on my computer, so that when my local TV is trying to access my local server, I can have direct connection even if VPN is on my computer? Please do bare with me and I apologize for simple questions.
whenever i load new video media into my plex server sometimes gets the metadata really really wrong... like classifying christopher eccleston's run on doctor who as it's christopher lowell (home improvement show) any ideas or programs i can use to fix my file's data or am i hosed.
Dear Plex users,
I would need instant support on following problem, which appeared several days ago. Since then, nothing is working anymore independent of all my tries and error's I've done to solve this issue (see summary below)
Hardware specs overview of my Plex Server
* Intel NUC computer running Core i3 (7th generation)
* 8 GB RAM
* Windows 10 on SSD
* Network: LAN cable connected (1 Gbit/s)
General description of my problem
I can't download any movie or TV-series information using the plex movie or The Movie Database agents altough the status on Plexserver has displayed downloading processes and applying of metadata. But no movie/TV-series information such as posters, actors banners etc. have been applied to my personal movie collection.
This is how my current movie library looks like on Plex Server:
Overview of my current Plex Server settings (currently not working)
* Agent settings:
Remark: All files are .mkv movie files. The .mkv files have the exact same labelling as the folder
What have I tried so far to solve this issue (without success)
* Complete re-installation Plex Server (including older versions than current V. 1.7.5.4035)
* Detele all files in localhost/App Data/Plexserver directory and refresh all metadata
* Uncountable play arounds with agent settings (diffrent priorities, tick/untick of agents)
* Install plex server on a second computer - same problem
* Manually "fix match..." of movie. Movie has been found but no metadata have been applied after downloading of the metafiles.
* Remove move library followed by empty trash, clean bundles and re-mount of movie library
Are Plex Movie Servers or other movie database servers probably down? Do you have the same problem at home?
I'm happy for every peace of help of you.
Thanks a lot and best wishes from Switzerland!
Andreas
Hey, I just got ReFS working as my mainline file system with Plex. Even though the documentation says that directly, ReFS does not work, if you share your drive and then loopback to the share it appears to populate the art properly. Does anyone know if there are other issues involved with this solution ?

Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Plex Media Player
- PlexConnect
- Plex/Roku
- Plex Samsung Smart Hub (2011 or later)
- PS4
- Plex/Android (Seems dependant on certain settings and version of android so make sure you are up to date. Also try turning off experimental player in plex android settings)
- Plex/Amazon Fire TV
- Plex Client in Windows Store
- Possibly other DNLA clients? (Please post if you get live streams to work from this channel on clients not listed)
Q: I get an error message saying "Cannot play media" when playing live content from NFL Gamepass?
A: This is most likely because you are using a client that does not support encrypted HLS streams. See the above list for clients that support encrypted HLS.
Q: I get an error message saying "Cannot play media" when playing archived AND live content from NFL Gamepass or NFL Game Rewind?
A: Check your plex client preferences. You need to have the quality settings set higher than the quality of video you are trying to play. The highest quality that the NFL offer is 4.5mbps 720p, so have your quality settings higher than that.
Q: I'm using a VPN/Proxy/DNS service to give me access to NFL Gamepass but getting some problems, what can I do?
A: This will most likely be an issue with your VPN/Proxy/DNS service, you will need to take this issue to there support or start a separate thread in the forum. Please can I ask that you don't post any issues about this in this thread. I don't like this to be discussed as it breaks US/international copyright laws. Equally it would be hard to support something that is most likely an unrelated problem to the functionality of this channel.
Q: I can't see where to download this channel?
A: It is in the official Plex Channel Directory within a plex app or plex/web.

Current issues with Channel (do not post about these issues if listed here)
- (Gamepass) NFL Network Archived shows not working on Samsung.
- (Gamepass) No Gamepass content working on latest iOS Plex app due to a bug in the Plex App. Plex iOS team are working on it. However Plex/Web does work on Safari/iOS.
- (Gamepass) Plex/Web generally doesn't work with most popular browsers but I'm sure some web browsers are fine, apparently Microsoft Edge on Win10 is an example of a working browser.
- (Gamepass) Experimental player needs to be off for content to work on Plex/Android.
