I am running a full server as my Plex Server. Trying to play one movie and transcoding the one video now is killing my server. I have never had this issue before the latest update. I have had 5 devices playing movies simultaneously before and my server didn't even flinch. Now I can't play one movie without it locking up. What is going on?
Specs: Dual quad core Xeon processors, 16 GB RAM, 4 TB drives.

Patch for new transcoder update?

Why is cast not editable in metadata?
Just curious as to why all metadata is editable except the cast list. Media Preview mode displays the first 3 cast members, but the cast lists seem to be in random order and rarely list the stars first. So the vast majority of the time you don't end up seeing who is starring in the movie, you see 3 names you've never heard of. It kinda defeats the purpose.
You can edit directors, writers and everything else, but not the cast list. If you could, it would be a simple matter of putting the cast in an order that makes sense.
Just a thought for future Plex improvements (or maybe this more of a skin issue?).

Why am I not authorized to log into my server or server not found?
I am running plex on a QNAP TVS-871 NAS. It has been working fine for about a year and a half. I was doing some cleanup on my system. There were several extra devices in the “Settings->Devices” list. I decided to delete some of the old ones. I accidentally deleted the server like is talked about on the https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/115007577087#RemovingADevice page. I tried re-adding the server as discussed on the same web page by re-signing into my Plex account. The device wasn’t re-registered and doesn’t appear again in the devices list. As a matter of fact the “Server” menu doesn’t show up on the “Devices” page any more.
When starting Plex on my computer, I get the message “Looking for servers… Please wait while servers are discovered.” I’ve tried going through the debug items on the “Why can’t the Plex app find or connect to my Plex Media Server” web page, https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204604227-Why-can-t-the-Plex-app-find-or-connect-to-my-Plex-Media-Server- . I have downloaded the latest version of Plex server for thq QNAP and installed it. When I log into the Plex web app, the server menu doesn’t show up. I’m not sure how to log into the server. I must be missing something on the Forum pages. Although when I open the Plex app on my Ipad the server shows up in the “Locations” of servers list. However it says the server is “Unauthorized”.
I’m not sure of the official way to confirm that the server is running, but when I look for the process when logged into the QNAP console, it looks like it is running. When I run “ps” I get this:

some sync content missing/not loading artist/album artwork
Hello. I am in the process of syncing a bunch of music from my library to my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (SAMSUNG-SM-G870A) running Android 6.0.1, and Plex for Android v5.10.1.264.
A few of the artists and albums that have already completed the sync process appear to be missing photos/artwork when viewing local content. When veiwing that same content as broadcast from my server, it shows the images no problems. Whats strange is that on the sync status screen on my phone, I can see the missing artwork, but it does not appear when actually scrolling through the content. Is there some way to refresh the metadata/images of synced content? When the artwork is changed on the server, will the corresponding artwork of the synced content also update? Here are some screenshots of what I am seeing:
Missing album artwork for the artist "Jaga Jazzist" in player view (local/synced content only):
Some artists also missing photos (local/synced content only):
The sync status of the artist "Jaga Jazzist" shows the missing album art:
The album art is present when viewing non-local content located on my server:

Plex Video Playback Broken in iOS 11
Just so you devs know, video playback does not work with both the current beta and release apps in iOS 11. When you initially press play, the video loads endlessly until you press pause then play, at which point the audio starts working but only the covert art is displayed.I think this might be caused by Apple's obsession with HEVC now.

Any set-top box with plex which can sync videos to local storage?
Hi there!
I'm trying to give my grandfather a way to watch a TV show which he LOVES, but he has no internet access. I have the TV show in mkv video files, but the show is not available on DVD, Bluray, etc.
I know that plenty of iOS and Android phones and tablets allow video files to be synced locally for offline playback.
But are there any set-top boxes or HDMI dongles which can connect directly to a TV for playback from local storage with Plex?
I know that the Amazon Fire TV has a microSD card for storage, but I don't know if it can be used by Plex for syncing videos. Not sure about other devices like a Chromecast or Roku.
Can you help me figure out a way to give my grandfather this TV show? I have thought about authoring a disc, but I don't have a Bluray burner, and using a DVD would mean no HD in a regular DVD player. Plus, from what I've seen authoring discs are a lot of work.
Thanks in advance for any help!

QNAS 871 Plex Running but not able to see itself as a server to setup library
I just got my first real NAS. A QNAP TVS-871 I7 16GB that I have loaded with 8 - 8TB Seagate Ironwolf drives as a single volume in Raid 6. This will be used as a Media server. I used app center to install plex and it looked for my old servers but I have taken them down and I am using a fresh IP address for the new QNAP I have uninstalled plex and reinstalled the NAS 64bit version and still no server. All it gives me is Cloud setup. Although I have run Plex for years I haven't needed to delve into anything too complex but I can't seem to find anything that helps. I did see one person setup DLNA before PLEX but I don't think that is needed as Plex functions as its own DLNA. I read the Faq but I didn't see anything that fit the bill. I have PlexPass. Please help.

I can see it try to connect, fail, succeed, fail, and finally succeed again. I've tried setting a 10 second delay per the following link: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1041985/
but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I did modify the instructions since it said to place the file in the "openelec" directory, but only a "libreelec" folder exists, but dont think that's why it's failing.
Anyone know if there's an updated method of making PMP wait for networking before continuing? while hitting the "back" button on my remote allows me to get in, the message is slightly annoying. Log attached. the Plex server is local on my network, no other client has access problems.

Are you having Stuttering/Buffering Issues? Look Here
It's probably your server.
Now before I get flamed to death, hear me out. In troubleshooting my own issues and helping others here on this forum, take a deep breath, follow these steps, and don't assume that the Plex software or the Chromecast device are to blame.
Let's also set something straight before we begin. Just because your Chromecast plays Netflix and YouTube fine from your Android device means only that your Chromecast is functioning properly. Think about this for a second. Google has whitelisted certain services to work with it's device, which means a certain amount of cooperation is involved, not to mention that Google owns YouTube. Those services do 1 of 2 things. They either already have the video stored in a format in which the Chromecast understands and sends it directly...or it transcodes the videos it has into the format Chromecast needs. If it does the latter, it is safe to assume that it is happening in a pooled server farm with a huge network pipe and loads of teraflops of processing power. Try to compare this to the resources you have on your NAS box...no comparison...please don't expect the same results.
Another misconception is this...Most of my videos play fine on my , why is it a problem sending to the Chromecast? There must be something wrong with the Chromecast, right? Unfortunately, as much as this may make sense, it's more likely to be something other than the Chromecast (again...probably your server). As you will see in my troubleshooting steps below, the Chromecast only plays one type of file with one type of video encoding and one type of audio encoding. It's very likely that the device you have good luck with supports many types of containers and video/audio formats. Since that is the case, Plex doesn't have to do anything to the video except send it in it's current form to the device. But since Chromecast only supports one format, it's more likely that Plex needs to transcode that file into something acceptable for Chromecast to play. Transcoding is a system intensive process, and if the server struggles to transcode, you will get buffering. Check the specs of your other devices and compare them to the Chromecast which you can find officially here...Google Chromecast Supported Media Types.
Below are some initial steps you can take to troubleshoot your own problems before you throw your hands up!
First thing's first...It's worth it! Take some time to understand your Plex Server and the Chromecast device. Understand how each works independently and what they need to do to work together. You are creating a media factory here which is nothing short of miraculous...treat it like that. Also, when this combination works correctly...it's absolutely amazing and worth the trouble you may feel you are experiencing right now.
Onto the troubleshooting...
Are you a PlexPass member? No longer required...Chromecast support is open to non-PlexPass members!
If not, you can stop here. Chromecast support is only available for PlexPass members at this time. You have to use the Plex for PlexPass version of the Android and iOS apps which require you to sign in with your PlexPass account. The paid app does not constitute you as a PlexPass member. [Please do not ask when it will be released to the general public, the Plex team never gives release dates.]
Old Fix:
Reboot your Chromecast. - You can do this by unplugging the USB power and replugging, or by using the Chromecast Android app and under the menu is a setting to send a soft reboot.
5.0GHz WiFi:
Don't...switch your Chromecast to a 2.4GHz band. There are known issues with Chromecast operability on the 5.0GHz band.
Can you see the Chromecast within the Chromecast Android or iOS app?
If the official app can't see it, how can Plex?
Can you watch the same video on your Android/iOS device?
If not, there is a bigger problem outside the scope of this troubleshooting guide. Get that working first before you try to cast.
Easy Fix:
Upgrade your Plex Server software and reboot.
Try reducing your quality settings:
Remember that the Chromecast is a WiFi only device. Let's not send it volumes of data and expect it to be able to consistently keep up. Go into the Plex app, choose settings and play with the 'Quality over local network' options. I have found 8Mbps 1080p is a nice place, but your mileage may vary depending on your router. I am using an ASUS RT-N66U running Shibby's Tomato firmware. While you are in there, make sure Direct Stream, Direct Play and Use new transcoder are all set to 'YES'. You may also want to play with the Plex Media Server Transcoder settings. I have Transcoder quality set to Automatic. You may want to try 'Prefer higher speed encoding'.
What kind of video are you playing?
You can't expect too much from a $35 media player. And as such, the Chromecast is built to only work with .mp4 contained videos that are encoded with H.264 video and AAC audio. Take a look at the video you are trying to play. You can find this info in Plex on the video detail page. Choose a video and press the Media Info icon (it's the round circle with an 'i' in it). First look at the Container property. Then the VIDEO > Codec. Finally the AUDIO > Codec. If they are MP4, H.264 and AAC respectively, then you should get good results out of the gate. That's because Plex is simply just sending the video file as-is to the Chromecast. If any one of those are different, then transcoding needs to take place. What is transcoding you ask? Well, Have you ever created a video on your PC or MAC before? When you have all your clips and audio in place, the very last step is what? The encoding or publishing process. Do you remember how long that process takes? It depends on the length of your movie, but it's not a short period of time. What it's doing is compressing the file, putting it into a container and making it ready for distribution to players. Well, transcoding is exactly the same, except it's simply taking one file format and converting it to another. Plex is great in that it does this for you as you watch your video. If you can imagine, this takes a bit of memory and a lot of CPU cycles. If your server can't do this fast enough, you will get stuttering/buffering...guaranteed. So what does this mean to you? If you have a decent enough server, really nothing. If you are trying to watch videos streamed from your prefabricated NAS box, then your expectations are too high. NAS devices aren't built for encoding/decoding, only simple file sharing and web serving. I host my Plex Media Server on a 13.10 Ubuntu server with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM. Refer to the Plex system requirements for more info.
Transcoder using too many system resources?
If you have a mixed media library (like me) you depend on Plex's built-in transcoding feature to prevent the horror which is to re-encode your entire collection. As stated in the previous step, if your file is not MP4, H.264, AAC, it will require transcoding. To check this out, start your video and look at the running processes on your server. You should see something to the tune of 'Plex Transcoder' or 'Plex New Transcoder'. How much memory and CPU is this taking up? How much memory and CPU do you have left while it's running? If it's too high, then consider upgrading your memory and/or CPU...or perhaps get a new system to run it on.
Check the health of your system:
If your server is not functioning properly, all kinds of weirdness can be experienced. In my personal quest for Plex/Chromecast nirvana, I went through a long period of stuttering/buffering. Turns out that the culprit was a failing root hard drive on my Ubuntu server that didn't start to report errors until a month after I started experiencing Plex to Chromecast issues. Once I replaced the drive, I was golden again. This can be extremely frustrating, but one way to rule this out is to install the Plex Server on another machine like your PC or MAC and see how it goes. Good luck with this one.
Check your logs:
This may be a bit daunting for some of you, but the logging provided by Plex is very robust and is indicative to what is going on. Particularly look for [Transcoder] and see what's going on. Another good indication is to do a search for 'speed =>'. This will give some value that tells you how the transcoder is keeping up. If this value is less than 1.0, you are pretty screwed and it's time to upgrade your server or maybe just limit the activity this server is responsible for (turn off that Left4Dead2 Steam Server!). A value here of 2.0 means that the transcoder is encoding at twice the speed of realtime playback. Anything over 1.5 is good, under 1.0 is bad.
Hit the forums:
If you have tried all of the above, it's time to beg for help. Luckily the forums are frequented by folks like me and the Plex support team to lend you a hand.
***Update*** 3/27/2014
Turn off AES encryption on your WiFi router:
Thanks to mdr76 for this one (if that's your 'real' name). This is another thing to try. I personal use AES encryption over WPA2 security and all 4 of my Chromecasts work fine all over my house (router is in the downstairs family room, CC next to it, another in the adjacent garage, another in a bedroom directly above, and the last in a bedroom on the second floor on the other side of the house), but at least one user has indicated that stuttering has been remedied by turning off AES encryption. Turn security completely off first and see how it goes, then try to enable TKIP encryption.

Plex unable to connect on Fire Stick app, but connects from Android app
I have a media server successfully running that is connecting correctly to my Android app no problem. However the Fire stick which is on the same network connected only once the very first time, and since has not connected again. I've tried changing security settings, opening ports, but nothing seems to let the fire stick connect.
Anyone have any ideas?

Plex Satellite Server
Hello,
My family owns a summer home where internet speeds are not very good. They're well enough for email, or simple browsing, but streaming is out of the question. How do I know this? I setup my Plex server for remote access and put a Roku with the Plex app in the summer house and when I tried to view a movie I'm treated to repeated buffering and occasional messages that the network is too slow for streaming. I've looked at everything Google can provide about improving streaming to my Roku and have exhausted everything, I even tried the hidden Roku menu to reduce bit stream which didn't have any effect at all as far as I could tell.
I'd really like to have Plex available there and was wondering if anybody had come up with a way to have a second Plex server in a remote location that can retrieve content from my primary server. One of the ways I've thought this could be done was to setup NFS server on my primary Plex server and NFS client with cachefs on my remote, once the file access begins the whole movie should be copied to the cachefs file system.
Has anyone done anything like this? Or is there a better way? I'm assuming I can have more than one Plex server under my Plex pass and at more than one location.
Thanks
-Bob

Xiaomi Mi Box US version (Android TV 6.0) - Plex client with Audio HDMI Passthrough broken
Hi,
Just bought the new Xiaomi Mi Box with Android TV 6.0 on it. Brilliant little device and works well with SPMC/KODI/VLC player and passes through DTS and AC3 without problems, but having major issues with Plex Client.
Symptoms are:
Audio Passthrough enabled - playing DTS / DTS-HD/MA / Dolby-TrueHD MKV - tries to directplay, files attempt to load and after a few seconds video, playback crashes with error "Network connection not fast enough..." No audio playback at all. Turn off passthrough and same file plays fine with audio transcoded.
Audio Passthrough enabled - playing AC3 MKV - video starts to stream for about 20 seconds, then video freezes for 2 seconds and then video playback goes out of sync and playback is at about 3-4x standard speed. Audio plays back without issue during this but goes out of sync.
Plex client does not honour Passthrough setting when set to disabled - when you turn passthrough off, it still tries to passthrough AC3 with the same results as above in point 2. All other formats (DTS and HD formats) get transcoded as expected and playback is good.
As you can imagine, this pretty much renders the Plex Client unusable at the moment as all MKV with AC3 files cannot be played at all regardless of what you set as passthrough. I have also tried disabling direct play and forcing direct stream but made no difference to the fault.
I am running version 5.1.2 of the client.
Has anyone else experience the same issues?

Moving metadata to new location finally works!
I was having problems with plex starting after editing /etc/default/plexmediaserver file and pointing the metadata line to a new location. I created a folder within my /home partition called plexMD and copied the folder located at /var/lib/plexmediaserver to it. Now I am not sure if I am Dyslexic, but even following some how-to's ended up in frustration. So down below is a cut and paste from a tutorial I found..just edited it some and it worked! The original link to the it is at: http://www.geeklee.co.uk/migrate-plex-media-server-metadata-ubuntu/
I appreciate the information presented by the author of the link and wanted to give credit where it's due...that being said doing what is listed below worked for me and hopefully will work for you, if you are having problems.BTW You can create the directory elsewhere or name it whatever you want JUST make sure to follow the general structure...especially within the /etc/default/plexmediaserver config file...slashes in certain areas and no quotes make ALL the difference...trust me.
This worked on a freshly installed and updated system running: ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit and Plex Media Server for Ubuntu 64-bit ver. 0.9.12.4.1192-9a47d21
Create New Directory
-
Go into terminal and type:
$ sudo mkdir -p /home/yourusernamehere/plexMD/plexmediaserver
Migration
-
Stop the plexmediaserver service:
$ sudo service plexmediaserver stop -
Rename /var/lib/plexmediaserver to /var/lib/plexmediaserver_old
$ sudo mv /var/lib/plexmediaserver /var/lib/plexmediaserver_old -
Copy (recursively) /var/lib/plexmediaserver_old to your new location (or other disk area)
$ sudo cp -R /var/lib/plexmediaserver_old/* /home/yourusernamehere/plexMD/plexmediaserver -
[OPTIONAL] You can double check everything has been copied by checking the contents and size of the directory:
$ ls -al /home/yourusernamehere/plexMD/plexmediaserver
There should be a Library folder in the above directory)
$ du -sh /var/lib/plexmediaserver_old && du -sh /home/yourusernamehere/plexMD/plexmediaserver/
This will report the size of the original and new directory. -
Change ownership of new area (recursively) for the user plex:plex
$ sudo chown -R plex:plex /home/yourusernamehere/plexMD
-
Edit /etc/defaults/plexmediaserver, look for line beginning PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR.
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/plexmediaserver -
Update the line to your new area BUT keeping the trailing “Library/Application\ Support” e.g.
PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/home/yourusernamehere/plexMD/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support
-
Start the plexmediaserver service:
$ sudo service plexmediaserver start -
Confirm you get a start/running and a Process ID. You can also check the service is running:
$ sudo service plexmediaserver status -
Browse the Plex Web Client and confirm everything is OK and as you left it (it should be)
Back Out
If the worst happens, back out is straight forward:
-

Playlists - Can't view, even though they are on my server.
I have a QNAP TS-251+ server running the latest firmware. Plex Pass is active and the latest version. I have the latest version of iTunes running on an iMac with the latest OS. I have tried multiple times to load my 40 iTunes playlists and they never show up in Plex. I have also used SuperSync to upload my music and playlists and it confirms they are there. The server and iMac are running on the same network via ethernet cables. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong and I would very much appreciate any help to get me on the right track.
TIA

NDI Support?
I just became aware of NDI from NewTek (https://www.newtek.com/ndi/applications/) and I gather that it's become increasingly popular as a way to detect sources and control devices and process media streams with a common API.
I'm curious whether you have heard of this and noticing any potential sources leveraging this API. I am thinking in terms of sources for DVR. potentially including IP cameras.

Synology DSM 6.1 with Plex and PlexPy (and Community Python 2.7.13)
Greetings All,
as for now, sounds like I should not upgrade DSM to the major new version 6.1, too severe changes in DSM to be a guinea pig and avoiding hassle. "Never touch a running system" so to speak
Also in the DSM 6.1 readme:
"Due to infrastructure update, packages will need re-initialization after upgrading to DSM 6.1. The process will occupy a higher CPU usage and can take up to an hour depending on the number of packages installed."
What does this mean for a big Plex library?
Anyone wants to share their thoughts or even experience with DSM 6.1 using Plex, PlexPy & Comm. pythton 2.7 (needed by PlexPy). Any Feedbacks well appreciated!
Thanks a bunch,
Cyberlex

Langue utilisateur
Bonjour,
J'ai activé un utilisateur géré sur mon plex. Malheureusement, il lance systématiquement la langue anglaise. Ma fille de 5 ans a du mal à changer la langue. Pourriez vous m'expliquer comment paramétrer la lecture automatique de la langue française sur son profil?
Mon compte est bien paramétré avec la lecture du français par défaut et cela fonctionne sans soucis. Peut ton faire la même chose sur un profil pour un deuxième utilisateur géré?
Merci pour votre aidre

"Il n'y a aucun élément dans cette bibliothèque"
Bonjour,
J'ai consulté les deux tutoriels concernant la configuration et le paramétrage de Plex en français, néanmoins, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver solution à mon problème sur ce forum 
J'ai installé Plex récemment, (j'ai lu le guide des nommages de fichiers d'ailleurs) j'ai un dossier nommé "Plex" sur un de mes disques, avec dedans un autre dossier nommé "Films" et dedans 2 films.
Ceux-ci semblent ne pas être reconnus par Plex.
Voici le chemin de mes fichiers :
(...)\Plex\Films
Si une bonne âme passe par là...

Plex not playing on Hisense TV
Hi, I'm unable to play any Plex media on My Hisense TV (Plex 3.8.0). Able to login and browse media, just won't play anything (just get a timeout, fail msg).
I believe this has happened since upgrading to Plex server Version 1.5.7.4016
Anyone else having this problem?
So far I've restarted Plex server, restarted entire network, reset TV to factory defaults and tested on a 2nd Hisense TV (not reset), all with the same result, media won't play.
