Hi,

I'm also using plex in my car, on my android car device ( android 7.1 )

When driving, i find it sometimes a hassle skipping to the next song.

I have to look at the screen and find the next button, aim, and hit the next or back ( my car doesn't have steering control )

......this takes most of my attention , where i should be looking at the road !

I also use the android app Media Monkey for my local content, where i can do this :

Way easier and safer !

I would be awesome if this could be implement into plex !

Error transcoding to FLAC

Error transcoding to FLAC

When I set the transcoder to flac/flac it creates invalid output.

When I set my music profile output to container="flac" audioCodec="flac" the transcoder works but the .ts files generated are invalid.
I tested one of them with ffplay and the output is:

DS718+ Memory Upgrade

Is it better to get memory that has a higher MHZ rating or a lower CAS latency value? I am looking at DDR3L-1866 memory that has a CAS value of 11, but I could buy DDR3L-1600 memory that has a CAS value of 9. My gut is telling me the latency number is more important but I would like to hear what others have done.

Plex almost unusable

I've been getting more and more frustrated with my plex server as time has gone on that I'm just about done with it. It's extremely slow, sometimes totally non responsive, and other times won't even play the video even though you can hear the audio. I even went so far as to completely build a new computer (4.2 ghz i7 Processor and 16 gb/ram) and still the issues persist. In fact, I'd say they've gotten worse. I just added a new movie to my library and for some reason it's completely unresponsive. I can't get it to do anything. Uninstalled/reinstalled and still nothing. Isn't there a way to speak to someone for help??!! I paid for this program that I can't even use and I can't call or speak to anyone in real time for help. I'm so frustrated!!!

Can you ignore a library during a periodical scan?

Is it possible to configure Plex to ignore a library as part of the periodical scan? My Music collection is large and Plex takes a long time to scan it. My music hardly changes so I wish I could exclude it from the scan and do it manually. Thanks for the help.

Guess the movie from a quote

Let's start a game, shall we? It goes like this: You give a not too obvious quote from a movie that's not too hard and not too easy, and the first to guess it wins and can state the next quote, after posting some interesting trivia about the movie just guessed. Bonus points for finding and embedding a videoclip where the line is spoken! Googling/searching the quote is not allowed, obviously. ;) If someone gets an answer right, please like his/her post to give karma as a reward.

 

I'll start:

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Introduction

Hey there,

Some of you may have followed the recent development on the original Subliminal.bundle by @bramwalet.

I've made some serious changes, improvements and bugfixes to Subliminal.bundle during the last few weeks, with the help of some very nice people such as @PMAdmin, @chopeta, @BlueToxic and others.

As the direction of this project has moved a long way, I thought it was time to evolve from simply being a personal fork of Subliminal.bundle to something more dedicated.


Plugin Description

Sub-Zero aims to solve your subtitle problems by automatically downloading the hopefully best subtitles there are, for your individual video file.

Subtitles are a problem? Yep, they definitely are. I myself use this plugin on a daily basis as my wife has a serious hearing condition where subtitles help us to be able to watch our favourite TV series and movies together. Subtitles pose a generic struggle: matching your media file perfectly. This is as hard as it gets. Thankfully there are a bunch of libraries and services out there, that help with that.

Sub-Zero is far from being perfect, but with recent development and planned features, we're really getting there.

Its core is based on the works of Diaoul, who created the subliminal library, as well as enzyme, to parse MKV metadata. In addition to that Sub-Zero uses the extremely well-made guessit library made by wackou.

Sub-Zero still is under heavy development but has recently reached a stable state. I need you to report bugs and tell me your opinion on new features.

It currently supports the following subtitle providers:

Disabled/broken/unavailable providers:

Plex Media Player 2 beta. Stop. Simply stop.

October 24, 2017, 11:47 am

Plex user since day 1 with Lifetime Plex Pass. Plex running on Apple TV 4K, Apple TV 4th gen, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Pro, 2 Mac Mini's, iMac, iPad Pro, 4 iPhone's and a QNAP TS-451+ NAS.

I don't say this often but as a customer, I beg you to stop further development of PMP v2 and develop a version of PMP that is stable and has a Plex consistent look and feel. There are so many things wrong with PMP v2 that I even wonder if it was developed by Plex.

What I don't like the most is the disastrous UI that has an inconsistent look and feel with controls that are plain wrong. I mean to click "up" to see library categories? Who came up with that? Also, UI animations for every, single list view. Why? So I need to wait 3 seconds before I can see the last list item on screen? Plex Home Theater shows me every list in milliseconds.

Channels in every other Plex client are their own main category. In PMP v2 beta I accidentally found Channels by scrolling all the way down on the home screen. To be greeted by full-size icons per channel. Joy!

If that isn't bad enough, depending on the weather outside, PMP opens the build in web view or desktop view or whatever it feels like showing that day. And it's so obvious on how to switch views. Not.

As a product manager myself I understand this is a beta. And that you need user feedback to see what works and what doesn't work. This user tells you that PMP v2 beta does not work and that it frustrates rather than delights this user.

Ability to switch between Version 1 Theme and Version 2 Theme (UI)?

Hello,

Is it possible to allow users to switch between the original PMP version 1 user interface, and the version 2 user interface? I think this would be awesome as I prefer the UI of PMP version 1 over the second version for right now.

V2 seems too bright and takes a few too many clicks to get to where I need too. Hope the developers can chime in and see if this could be accomplished somehow? Thanks!

Roku issues with .ts dvr files

Is anyone still having issues with recorded shows on the Roku? I was thinking it was a issue with the Roku version but it hasn't been fixed yet. It will hang at 99% when loading. If I force the file to play, it will but I will not be able to fast forward through parts of the show. It has something to do with trans-coding of the file. If I convert the file to MP4, it doesn't have a problem.

Another Remote Access Problem

May 10, 2017, 2:58 pm

Hi,

I've been trying to get the remote access feature to work for (on and off) two plus years at this point. Here's what I can tell you:

  1. It's not double NAT
  2. My cable modem / router is a SBG6580
  3. I've had UPnP both enabled, disabled and I've tried toggling it on and off.
  4. The router firewall is off
  5. I've created a static local IP for my server.
  6. I've manually specified a port for Plex through the router's software.
  7. I've tried a variety of ports for the Plex media server, including the ubiquitous 32400
  8. Externally, canyouseeme.org times out when checking the specified port. Other software reports the port is closed.
  9. I've tried to put the server in the routers DMZ with no change
  10. I've futzed around with the Windows firewall setting to try to make this work, no success.
  11. My ISP is Comcast.

At this point I'm just a little tired of doing this for so long with absolutely no success. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd be most appreciative.

Favorite House of Cards scenes

What are your favorite House of Cards scenes, or chapters? I'm talking about the 2013 remake for Netflix, not the British original itself.

So here's mine: I generally like when Frank Underwood breaks fourth wall and speaks directly to the audience who are his trusted insiders. In this scene, he talks about killing Zoe Barnes to the audience at the end of the episode, in a self-reflective meta-level way:

And here, for reference, is the scene where he commits that despicable crime that shocks the audience, which Underwood then adresses directly to the camera:

How do you guys like House of Cards in general?
Have you bingewatched all of it, or only seen a few episodes?

Audio Passthrough on Nvidia Shield cracks when scrubbing forward/backward or pausing a movie

December 30, 2017, 6:56 am
$
0

Dear all,

I'm using an Nvidia Shield, connected to a NAD receiver that is connected to a Samsung LCD TV.

I do not use the Plex server on the Nvidia Shield, instead, all my media is located on a QNAP NAS featuring an Intel i7/16GB of ram. I do not have any performance issues.

I prefer to use the audio passthrough feature to pass audio from the Plex Server without any conversion to the Nvidia Shield Plex client. I understand that I can configure the Nvidia Shield Plex client in such a way that he converts and this is possible as well without any audio loss (https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/212072167-Audio-Configuration-Guide-Plex-Media-Player).

However, when I use the audio passthrough, the audio is perfect EXCEPT when I pause the movie, or fast forward or reverse. Most of the times I hear a crack in one of my loudspeakers (can be front or back or surround).

The issue is that the Nvidia Shield Plex Client does not have an audio sync playback delay setting like the KODI client has (https://github.com/koying/SPMC/wiki/Recommended-passthrough-audio-settings-for-SPMC,-NVIDIA-Shield-TV-and-AV-Receivers).

When I configure KODI and use the KODI Plex addon, the issue is solved. I can fastforward, revers, pause, without any cracks in my speakers.

QUESTION: Is there an option that I've overlooked to make sure that the Nvidia Shield Plex Client uses an audio sync playback delay setting like KODI whenever the audio passthrough setting is chosen ?

Thanks a lot for making a great product and helping me out.

Best Practice for Intermittent Subtitles

Odd question, but when you have a movie that is predominantly in English, but flips to foreign/other languages at points during the movie - 12 Strong, Planet of the Apes etc. What is the best way to do this so that you don't miss the dialogue at those points without having to have subtitles throughout? Using "forced" does not work. Thanks!
