Alright Fellas,

 

Well, the last Beta is here... The new beta now includes Full color customization along with a few themes. We now support real icons in form of URL's. User Management has been completed and now you can add and delete users. You may also now change your own password. DONT DELETE YOUR OWN ACCOUNT THO!

 

If you are upgrading from the previous beta, you will need to overwrite all files and then login back in and goto the Info tab and click Delete Database so you can start over adding tabs since the database table has changed. IF this is a fresh install, don't worry just install.

 

New images are on GitHub readme. But if you just want to look at them click ME

Why aren't my recently added movies not appearing in the "Recently added" section or in my "Library"

$

I've recently added a couple movies to my hard drive. They are not showing up in the "Recently added Movies" section or in my "Library" as movies available to be watched. I can pull up the movies from my player on the drive where they are (same drive as all the other movies in my library - 4TB drive only using 200MB at the moment) and they play fine. They just don't show up in Plex.

I'm on Windows 10 (v1607 OSBuild 14393.576) and running the most updated server software ( 1.3.3.3148b38628e) I've stopped the service, rebooted, restarted the service, but still no luck. I even refreshed the library using the "Update Libraries" link in the "..." menus.

These two movies have been out on the drive for at least 12 hours.

Any suggestions?

I was watching a Highly EXPLICIT Adult movie which I did not finish. Days (yes DAYS!) later, i opened Plex on my huge LED TV to let my 5 yo grand daughter watch a CHILDREN'S MOVIE.
To my Absolute HORROR!!! a very explicit still from the movie I was watching APPEARED ON DECK!!! While my grand daughter was watching! JESUS CHRIST!!!
I quickly selected any show I could go to FAST and ran it
. I am absolutely FURIOUS that Plex developers Insist they KNOW WHAT WE WANT AND GIVE US NO WAY TO DISABLE ON DECK!!

Android sync doesn't work when not connected to plex server

$

0

I can sync content to my android app (using external storage) from my plex media server and I can play the content when switching to the device using the drop down menu on the main screen of the app. However as soon as I leave the wireless network and lose contact with the plex server, the app no longer sees any of the synced content and just shows the "no servers available" message when selecting the device in the app. As a side note, I can't sync large items, eg. the full music library. It starts syncing, but crashes the app every few minutes. This is annoying because I bought a 128 SD card specifically to sync my entire music collection. So all in all this feature seems very broken and I would be better served by just copying the files on to my phone and playing them with a different app. Incidentally this has been broken for a long time, I tried sync more then a year ago and gave up as I didn't have a use for it at the time.

Is there a way to use MPC-HC and still update the deck?

$

I have PMS running on my SOHO NAS which isn't much powerful, so I prefer to directly connect to it (via SMB) to watch 1080p series/movies and play them using MPC-HC. The issue is that when I watch them via MPC-HC the deck doesn't get updated, i.e., series eps and movies don't get marked as watched and I have to mark them manually. Any way to fix that?

Hello,

I have created SQLite queries to get a list of my movies and TV shows.
Has I tooked me a while to understand the database schema, the SQLite SQL and get this queries to work, I decided to share this and I hope I'm in the correct place.

These queries are adapted to my database (library ID for example), so you'll need to adapt them to your database.

Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB and Trailers with PlexPass

$

I'm currently in the process of fine-tuning my Plex setup and have all my movies on a Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB which I know isn't powerful enough to transcode video, however pretty much everything plays fine via DirectPlay on both my FireStick and Samsung Galaxy S7.

I subscribed to PlexPass just to support Plex in general but also to enable the trailers features. Mainly we like to be able to browse through our movie library and watch trailers of them first so that we can decide what to watch, however at least on the Firestick all trailers so far come up with the error "this server isn't powerful enough to play this content".

Is there a way to get this working, can I skip transcoding or adjust settings somewhere?

"There was a problem playing this item:" Only previews and extras

$

So I've seen this question here a lot but can't seem to find an answer or even response so I can figure it out for my self and I;m certainly not going to read all 131 threads and really don't have time or the brain power for a "web protocol or computer programing 300" course so really appreciate some help in layman talk.

 

So I'm a new member and decided to pay for a Pass account for the extras including the automatic preview/extra feature. However, this (so far) is the only I have been having. I don't want the trailers to play at the beginning of a movie but do want the option to play one using the "Play Trailer" button on the side or by clicking the "Extras" image at the bottom.  The only problem is that I get, "There was a problem playing this item" message on every one I've tried so far including very popular movies.  Many of the movies show that there are extras but I just can't play them.

 

Please help!

Thanks and cheers!

[REL] Plex Movie Poster Display

$

First the Disclaimer – I am a network engineer, not a programmer. I play around with code. I am publishing this to give back to the communities that have helped me learn. There may be better ways of scraping the Plex Posters, but this is the way I chose to do it. I am open to suggestions. Use at your own risk.

UPDATE:
Added X-Plex-Token to code.

Blog Post About Project - No Popups or Ads, just a a willingness to share.
Github Page

I always thought it would be cool to have a display outside my media room that would show the poster of the movie or TV show that is currently playing. I searched the internet and found similar projects, which were all windows programs. There was just one problem… I wanted to run this project on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Linux. So, unsatisfied with the solutions I found online, I decided to build my own.

Prerequisites :
A functioning Plex Server
Web Server – I am running NGINX
PHP – I am running version 5.6.22
Web Browser - I am running Chromium on a Raspberry Pi that is also running web server.
X-Plex-Token – Find out how to get your token here.

Features :
Custom Text on top and bottom of posters.
Cache posters locally.
Free.

Installation :
Copy all the files into the root of your web server.
Fix permission on cache folder (chmod 777 cache)
Edit the config.php file.
Open the URL to your server in a broswer.

I am nervous about releasing this to the public since I am still learning programming languages, but I thought someone might find it useful. If you modify the code to fix it or make it better please share back to the community.

Also if you have trouble installing please read the blog post. I have some tips at the bottom of the post that might help. If you are still having trouble getting it to work please post here or on the GitHub page. I will try and help.

Thank you,

Feature request: allow users to set different views depending on the library

$
0
0

I use Plex for 4 different things:

  1. Anime
  2. Courses
  3. Movies
  4. Series

I really like the Poster view, it's very useful and beautiful for everything, but courses. I have some private courses in video from my company and others that I downloaded from the web (legally, of course) and they don't have posters, so when I'm inside a course folder I see a bunch of big posters with a screenshot of some random part of the video, this is ugly and not useful at all. I'd rather have them displayed as list, because some names are long and the Poster view isn't appropriated for that. The problem is that if I set Poster view inside the Courses library it automatically sets it for all libraries, something I don't want.

In short, allow the user to set different views for each library.

Audio Popping, Crackling and Static when using Plex with Chromecast

$
0

Whenever I use PLEX to cast video to my Chromecast device I get a Audio Popping, Crackling and Static noise coming from the speakers at seemingly random intervals.

For Troubleshooting I've tried:

  • Buying a new Chromecast
  • Changing the TV that the Chromecast is plugged into
  • I have no trouble streaming the same video files from my computer to my Xbox 360, Tablet, Android phone or through the web

Some video files work OK with the Chromecast while others seem to cause more issues.

It seems to be something to do with the interaction between Chromecast and PLEX. Perhaps a transcoding issue?

Nothing seems to make it go away but perhaps there's some setting that I may have missed?
