Your Top 5 Movies released last year!

Share your five favourite movies of last year with the community!
Last year was a big year for movies. The 3D rage seems to have finally ebbed down a little, Hollywood rediscovered the old masters (Hugo and 'The Artist'), an Iranian movie (IMDB link) was widely seen as the best film of the year, and Europe's cinema got more exciting and fun than it was in the past years.

I would like you all to share your top five movies of last year, giving others the opportunity to experience flicks you've truly enjoyed, and hopefully find some new favourites, yourself!

To kick the list off, here are my five favourite movies released last year:
1. Drive
2. Le Havre - also the Film Club movie of the month!
3. Melancholia
4. Midnight in Paris
5. We Need To Talk About Kevin

Best Practice - 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!

Welcome to SRT2UTF-8

This is the official thread for a plug-in (Agent) named srt2utf-8

If you are having the problem, that national characters in your subtitles, that are not embedded in the movie, but either downloaded by yourself and put next to the movie (Sidecar SRT) or a subtitle automatically fetched by the Open-Subtitle Agent, are displayed as garbage, then this Agent might be the answer for you!

In short, it'll make sure, that your subtitle files are encoded in utf-8, so national character-sets doesn't show as garbage in the players

If you are having problems with this plugin, then feel free to post a Question in this thread, but I urge you to at least read the manual first

Find it here, or simply install via the UAS

[REL] YouTube Metadata Agent

October 14, 2013, 8:17 am

This is a Metadata Agent for downloaded YouTube videos. It works by looking up metadata on YouTube using the YouTube video id. It is important to have this id in the filename, otherwise this agent can't do the lookup. You can change the way the id is found in your filenames (through the Agent's preferences). This value is a regular expression and requires 1 named group called id.

The default value is: \[(?P<id>.{11})\]

This will find the YouTube id in names, like for example:
Person Of Interest Soundtrack - John Reese Themes (Compilation) [OR5EnqdnwK0].mp4

Download and source

Download: https://github.com/sander1/YouTube-Agent.bundle/archive/master.zip

Installation

Ubuntu 18.04 "W: Conflicting distribution" from ppa

I have attempted to install the ppa using the file:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list 
deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main

Now whenever I run "sudo apt update" I get the line:

W: Conflicting distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (expected public but got )

I tried following the advice from another post of adding "./" before public
https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/273920/w-conflicting-distribution-https-downloads-plex-tv-repo-deb-public-inrelease-expected-public
But I get the following:

Does something need to be updated for bionic?

Giant Bomb Channel

Has the Giant Bomb channel been permanently discontinued? I assume so, since all videos stopped working for me and it is no longer available for install in the plugin directory or at https://github.com/plexinc-plugins, but I can't find any one discussing it so perhaps I was the only person using it :)

Movies showing screenshots instead of posters

May 9, 2016, 12:18 am

So I'm having an issue which only started recently where movies are having screenshots showing as the artwork instead of the movie poster. With some google-fu this seems to be an issue that other people have had and the cause usually seems to be due to the Movie Database agent being below the Freebase agent in the settings. I have tried moving the agents around but it has had no effect. Here is the library sorted by date added:

You can see that it has only started recently. Here are the library settings where Freebase is set as the agent :

Here are the Freebase agent settings in the main server settings:

Now when I first came to the server settings agent page only Freebase was ticked in the list but I'm sure that this wasn't always the case. Not sure if an update caused this. I have since ticked the Movie Database and moved it too be the first option but this had no effect. I also tried changing the agent in the library settings to the Movie Database but again no change. After changing anything I first tried refreshing the library and when that didn't work I also tried removing and re-adding a movie (by moving the file, refreshing the library, and moving it back).

So I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas? Would appreciate any input!

Many thanks.

Embedded subtitles not working working with Roku

This has been an issue now for the past while, I think since the Plex app for Roku moved to the 5.1.x code stream. From what I remember 5.0.x worked well without any issues.

Anyhow - the issues appears to be if you have multiple embedded subtitles in your video container (mkv in my example) and you want to use one of them. Nothing is disabled.

I'm running the latest plex server and the latest Roku firmware.

No Way To Play Queued Movies

September 19, 2017, 6:48 am

I have an Amazon Fire TV with Plex and I can't seem to figure out how to access my play queue. I was in my movie library and I had added a bunch of short episode videos to the play queue, which was easy to figure out. However, when I wanted to play the 8 movies I had queued up I could not figure out how. If I selected play on a different movie it warned me that I would overwrite the queue, which I didn't want to do, but there was no way to actually view or play the queue I had created. The only solution I had was to add all the items to a play list instead and then play that. I also noticed that in the movie grid I can select a "Play" button that's above the grid of movies. Doing this warned me I'd wipe out the queue and play "the selected movie"...trouble is there's no such thing as a selected movie at that time because I had to scroll OFF the list of movies in order to get to that button in the first place. So what's the point of it? Is that related to this queue issue? Is this a bug/oversight in the design or am I missing something?

Hello all
I have a few files that just don't seem to want to open on PHT.
Am on OSX 10.13.4, OpenPHT up is to date. Server runs on a Mac mini, files stored on a sinology NAS.

  • they play on another server I have running at my parents house without an issue, so don't think it's a codec / format thing
  • Have had a look at the logs, don't understand what I'm looking at but these entries stood out to me:

Is anybody able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Plex Thinks i have a synced version - When i play it tries to play a local video taken on phone

I noticed i had a arrow on a couple of new movies and realised this means synced. I have not tried to sync these movies and optimiser is off.

I found on these movies i can use "Play Version" and i choose "Synced" version and it tries to play a local video off my phone. So for some reason Plex thinks local content is a synced version of a movie.

Any ideas how to stop this?

JBOPS - Just a Bunch Of Plex Scripts

Hello,

What started as an attempt to learn Python ended up with a slight obsession with creating useful and fun scripts to that interact with Plex and/or PlexPy. My favorite script so far is the ips_to_map.py.

I've posted some of these scripts on /r/plex and got some positive buzz so I thought I'd share them here as well. This repo is a collection of all the scripts I've created.

I'm adding more and am taking requests. So let me know what you think, any improvements, suggestions, requests, etc.

JBOPS - Just a Bunch Of Plex Scripts

Donate PM PM

Most of these scripts utilize a combination of PlexPy, python-plexapi, and requests.

Unable to play Media

May 9, 2018, 4:51 am

I currently use Plex through the official app that came pre-installed on my Nvidia SHIELD... Every plugin that I have installed came from the official Plex channel page via the media server through the web. The channels that I have installed are: ABC, NBC, CBS, The CW, FOX, NICK, Paramount Network & Free Form... No matter which channel, or what show I pick from any of these plugins, I get the message of 'unable to play media', it worked just fine yesterday. This seems to be an issue with the Android platform as I get the same message if I do the same thing via the app from the Google Play Store through my Sony x900e smart TV which is Android based, but I'm not sure...

If I go through the PMP through the web (i.e. Google Chrome), & pick any random show on any of the plugin channels, that show will play perfectly.. I'm also able to watch the shows on my PS4 & Xbox too, just not on my Nvidia SHIELD... I did notice that on my PS4 & Xbox that the TV providers are under the tab labeled "channels"... I also noticed that on my SHIELD those providers aren't under the tab that says "channels" as that has been changed to say "plugins" now, which I thought was odd & that's the only thing that's changed in my entire setup, which makes me think that maybe that little change is causing the problem, as I've said, I don't know, I just know that yesterday that tab said "channels" on my SHIELD & the shows played, & now it says "plugins" & the shows give me that error message, then again through the web (Google Chrome) based player it's labeled "plugins" & they play fine... I'm at my wits end trying to figure out why I can no longer play any shows via these plugins through my Nvidia SHIELD... The Server is up to date as it's showing Version 1.13.0.5023

I've already cleared the data on the actual SHIELD, uninstalled the updates & took it back to factory settings there, & then did a restart on my device. I then came to my computer, uninstalled all the plugin channels & uninstalled the media server & everything else to do with Plex from my computers hard drive via the uninstall program feature. I then reinstalled PMS on my computer & made sure everything was up to date on my SHIELD, I then reinstalled the plugin channels & tried again, & I'm still getting the error...

I'm confused & need help...

Heavy stutter and audio drops only with Plex for Kodi

Hi, I have heavy stutter and audio drops on every file if I play it through the Plex for Kodi/MrMC addon. All the files play fine if I play them with MrMC native Plex playback. Also all other Plex apps work without stutter and audio drops. Does anybody have an idea why this happens and how to fix it?
