Hello folks,
I saw the new update for Plex vr, but I still don't see anything on using Plex vr with the Oculus rift. Am I missing something here?

Is there any real need for the GT 1030 in my Server?
Ive looked over many threads and ultimately have become confused with this whole ordeal.
I have a Plex media server with an i5-3470 and a GT 1030.
I do not have a plex pass, ive heard this may play a part in this (GPU trans coding)
Is my GT 1030 actually being used and will it allow for more streams than just the i5-3470? I do not expect more than two 1080p streams at the same time but it needs to work reliably and not drop frames or anything.
If its not helping, ill just throw it in a mini ITX HTPC rig im building for a friend.

Volume Control via Android Device when casting to Chromecast
Recently, I am unable to control the volume when casting to my Chromecast device from the Plex app on my Android device (Nexus 6). Regardless of where the volume slider is set, the output is 100% except when the slider is at 0, then the volume is off. Plex is the only app seeming to have this issue, as other apps control the Chromecast volume normally. I've tested this on multiple Chromecast devices as well.

LG WebOS plex app + 4K hevc HDR + subtitles - need help
Hi,
My setup is the following:
Plexserver = QNAP TVS-471
Plex client= WebOS plex app on LG OLED65c7v connected via ethernet)
Problem:
I can play my 4K movies with HDR activated perfectly but only when I disable the subtitles. If I use the embedded subtitles, the server starts transcoding and the movie stutters and HDR is never activated.
What I have tried so far:
- remux the movie with mkvtoolnix to replace the VOBsub with embedded srt subtitles.
- remux the movie with mkvtoolnix to remove all embedded subtitles and only use external srt subtitles.
- tried to play the movie in Xplay both with vobsub and srt (horrible app btw, want to keep away from that).
The above steps do not work and all give the same result.
I am not a native English speaker but my English is ok. So if the choice is HDR enabled or subtitles, it's an easy one. Still I would prefer to have the option to add subtitles.
Does anyone know of this issue and have a solution to it? (aside from hardcoding the subtitles which will take forever with my pc and moving the 4K movies back and forth between my NAS and PC)
Thanks for any info!

Shield TV - Wrong remaining episode count on TV Shows
Hi Guys
I've started noticing that on my Shield TV, that the amount of episodes remaining in a season is incorrect. Say for example Suits, i have finished watching the most recent season, but on the poster when i'm browsing my media it would have the number 10 on the top corner. But when i click into the season, it shows all episodes are watched and they don't have the orange triangle in the corner. This also happens for other shows, and is not exclusive to Suits.
I have checked my other Plex players, iOS, Samsung (Orca's build) and Web, and these are showing the correct information. So it has to be something to do with the Shield TV, at least i think so.
I'm running my PMS on a Western Digital PR2100. I've updated the Shield and the PR2100 to the latest versions.
Any ideas?

Why is tuning a specific channel so hard?
All I want to do is open plex (web, android, shieldtv, etc) and tune in the weather channel. Instead I'm scrolling trying to find the specific title of whatever is broadcasting at that moment..
This is the worst TV guide / channel browsing I've ever seen.

We’ve just released our biggest update to Plex for Sonos ever. We made significant changes to our backend service resulting in noticeable performance improvements and a much more reliable playback experience.
New
- Additional info available for artists: popular tracks, bio, tour dates
Fixes
- Faster browsing, searching, everything.
- Playback is more reliable.
- Supports direct playing FLAC, AAC
- Browsing other servers / libraries is simpler
- Numerous user interface enhancements to all pages
Known Issues
- If you've previously used the public beta, you’ll be asked to reauthorize with Plex again the next time you use the service
- When authenticating you get a scary warning about being in Virginia
- If you are still seeing the old version in your Sonos app you can force the update by doing the following:
- Desktop: Check for updates (there won't be any), then restart the app
- Mobile: More, Settings, Online Updates, then restart the app
Please post any feedback or questions in the Plex for Sonos forum.

"Unable to browse music" error with latest update?
Any pointers appreciated. It's been awhile since I've used Plex under SONOS so I may have missed something along the way.

[Docker] PMS Headless Windowsservercore Windows Server2016
Hey,
I am attempting to create a Windows Docker Image for Plex Media Server and I ran into some trouble doing so.
Installing plex is not a problem using: "Plex.exe /quiet" to install plex.
This creates the Plex Media Server folder in Program files and starts the Plex update service process.
However the Plex Media Server itsself refuses to start.
My question:
Does anyone have any advice on getting Plex Media Server.exe to run as a process (headless). It just won't start. I tried both cmd and powershell. See the screenshot below:
Thanks in Advance,
- Lars
If it works out I'll make the image publicly available.
Any help is most welcome.

Does plex allow playback of different songs on different sonos players
Hi
With Sonos and its own library we can play different songs in different rooms at the same time.
Trying today with Plex as the server it only seems to allow one track at a time , is this the case or do we need to alter settings somehow?

Flex TV: Google Assistant/IFTTT + Plex Integration (with support for Sonarr, Couch, Sick, etc.)
Flex TV. is a web application that interfaces between google Assistant and Plex to allow you to control playback of media using Actions for Google or IFTTT.
Additionally, it interfaces with the API's for Sonarr, Radarr, Couchpotato, Sickbeard, and Sickrage.
It also has customizeable webhooks, so you can basically control anything that has an open API with your voice. If you can send data to a URL to do a thing, you can program it in Flex TV.
Interested? Check out the Wiki to get started.
Also, there is now a web-only version in development, currently supporting only non-cast devices. I will be looking for beta testers for this service in the coming weeks, so if you're interested, please send me a PM with the email address you are registered to Plex with, as well as a hangouts address I can contact you at with further details. Read all about it here.

File browser instead of media library on LG Smart TV
I'm brand new to the Plex world. I installed the Plex app from the LG Content store (version 2.1.0) on my LG OLED55B6V. I managed to add media files to the Plex server (on my pc), but when I want to browse through them, I can only see a media library with some thumbnails. It's one big chaos because I cannot see with one quick glance what's what. So I would like to access the files through a file browser interface (a bit like Windows Explorer), because I know where everything is located (file location). How do I do that on my LG TV?

Subtitle issue on Apple TV
I started watching a Spanish movie with forced English subtitles in OpenPHT on my Mac mini. Thought I should give the Apple TV Plex app a try, but the subtitles didn't show there. I checked the menu, and the subtitle track was checked on.
Any solutions on how to fix this?

Live TV/DVR Set Up?
I am looking into purchasing a Plex Pass and using the live tv/dvr functionality and am look for advice on how to best set it up.
Currently I have my Plea Media Server set up on my desktop which is hard wired into my router via Ethernet. That Media Server is on my desktop with everything in an external portable hard drive.
What I'd like is to use the live tv/dvr with my tv in a room across the house but be able to record with the dvr to that external hard drive (whether in it's current location or my second desktop next to my tv).
The TV has wifi/plex media player so that's not an issue in itself.
I just can't figure out which antenna/tuner to buy (my parents have cable so ideally I'd just record that instead of OTA).
Thanks in advance.

Playback Error Conversion failed. A required codec could not be found or failed to install.
I am running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. About a week ago, I started gettting a "Playback Error
Conversion failed. A required codec could not be found or failed to install." error. It started with a single series, and now it happens with most of my media. I have tried several suggestions I found on reddit, primarily deleting the contents of "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Codecs". I tried deleting the contents. and restarting Plex. Didn't work. I tried deleting the entire Codecs folder and restarting. That recreated the Codecs directory and it's content. Still got the error. I went into "Codecs\7814ac9-1285-windows-i386" and noticed there are no files. Makes sense that a codec that doesn't exist cannot be started. I tried uninstall Plex, deleting C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\, and reinstalling Plex. Still nothing. So how do I fix this?

[REL] Dreambox plugin 0.1 is done
A first draft for your viewing pleasure
Hey everyone,
Early January I gave the very talented Sander a challenge, and we worked a week on it. The challenge was to try and create a Dreambox plugin which I could use in my setup which would fetch my cousins dreambox content.
I am pleased to say that we have a working first draft which you guys can tryout if you want to.
It uses the raw stream at a specific IP, but we also tried to build in support for having a transcoder at a seperate address in case people outside your network wants to view, but has limited bandwidth.
The development of that plugin is on hold at the moment, but you are welcome to try it out: https://github.com/sander1/Dreambox.bundle
EDIT: The above link is for the original version which now is outdated. The latest greeeny101-version can be found here: https://github.com/g...Dreambox.bundle
Go into the plugin, choose preferences. In the host field you add the IP address to your dreambox. In the "web interface port" you add the port which the web interface uses. This plugin uses the web interface to change channels. The field called "Streaming video port" should contain the port from which you stream transcoded material (if any).
Maybe in the future Sander will have time to help me flesh this out, but for now this is what exists. Let me know how it works for you guys.
Limitations: This plugin is only tested with the web interface that is called Enigma Web Interface - Pli Edition. Until more development is done to support the Dreambox API, no other web interface will work I believe.
