Plex
How's the Plex performance if the source files are being streamed from an HDD attached to the computer via external USB?
Backstory: I have a tower and monitor, and I'm looking at replacing the two with an all-in-one computer in the next six months. Due to an additional member of the family joining us soon, plus limited living space, I need to consider replacing my 8-year old computer (though the RAM and the SSD are only about three years old). So I'm looking at this one - https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-all-in-one-27-cr0055m-pc I understand it will come with the M.2 SSD, which is fine -- and clearly there's
Can this be done?
Hi my fellow plexers. I have several movies and TV shows on my server. When displaying info about a TV shows and select an actor/actress they show me their Bio and in wich other shows or movies their worked. But when displaying info about a movie, and select an actor or actress they don't show Bio info, only in what other movies they worked (not tv shows, not even if they are in my collection). In the image 1 I selected info about Actor Ed Harris from a TV show, and it shows his bio and other wo
adding international television channels to plex
hello! i've seen that plex can broadcast local tv via an antenna, but i was wondering if anyone knew about international public tv stations? i have a lame hobby (eurovision) which leads me to watching a lot of live tv in other countries (i'm in australia) on websites that don't always work easily or are hard to navigate. is there any kind of workaround to build a library of international tv channels so i can access them all within plex? thanks! submitted by /u/SakuraM1011 [link] [comm
Old content getting put under "Recently Added"
This started a week or so ago but it's just getting worse. I have TV shoes and movies that have been in the library for ages suddenly showing up as recently added. It's actually doing it as I type. It just ran a scan of the library and is now re-adding dozens of shows. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

Latest update crashing plex
Hi everyone… Got a strange problem here… When I click to analyze new TV Shows added, plex media server crashes and I have to reboot the server. It only started after the latest update and it doesn’t happen with smaller libraries (ej audiobooks o documentaries) It goes threw them all fine, but when it gets to TV Shows, it sits there for a minute then crashes… When I reboot it tries to analyze again and crashes so I have to deactivate the analyzing so I can’t add new content I use: AMD Ryzen 7 170

Possibly a stupid question that’s been answered a bunch of times! Sorry
So, I have all of Naruto on my Plex server, and it said Naruto for a couple weeks. Then about 10 days ago it changed from Naruto to “The Seasons”. I have renamed the files/folders on the server to the right name, and refreshed metadata, moved the drive it’s stored on, scanned etc etc. tried everything I can think of on the Plex server, and on the app and on the web portal Please send help!

Why does Plex change my movie posters?
I've carefully curated my movie library to use the original movie posters of all the movies I have. Plex seems to like to change about 10% of these every month or so. Every time I look at my library now, I find several posters have changed to images I never chose. Are there poster copyright concerns here or what? submitted by /u/dope_sheet [link] [comments]
My house burned down and I lost my server. Trying to rebuild. Need meta data from old server.
So as the title says my house burned down. It really sucks. But it's what it is. I got a new plex server up and been adding as many movies as I can remember but I'm still missing tons I can't think of. I noticed when I recently added holloween it said I already watched it in 2021. Hmm. So plex has kept my data some how. I assume linked to my account info. This is a new machine so it can't be local meta data. So is there a list I can see or export to help me see what I do and don't have. Is thee

Plex stuttering playing 4K video, definitely not network issue
Any 4K video I play on my TV from my Unraid NAS server stutters. The server has Ryzen 5 3600x CPU, 32GB RAM memory and nVidia 1030 Graphics card. I installed Plex on my gaming PC, Ryzen 7 5800x, nVidia 3060Ti, the same video over the same network plays fine on my TV. I thought I picked up good enough GPU to transcode 4K videos from my NAS but it looks like I was wrong. submitted by /u/Ok-Hall3258 [link] [comments]
Help setup to play 4k/2160p through Plex
My current setup is as follows: Synology DS-918+ --> Nvidia Shield Pro --> Yamaha RX-V577 Receiver --> TV 720/1080p is no problem. 2160p often has issue including the receiver powering down. What fix should I look at? Happy to get a new receiver if that's the bottleneck. Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue as it's all cable and direct. Thanks submitted by /u/michiganbhunter [link] [comments]

Audit of all my media
Was wondering if there were tools out there I should be looking into for auditing media. I’ve had some media for a very long time and would like to have an audit to see if any of them are broken / needing an update. Most of my movies have been run through handbrake or some other conversion utility. Things like low quality, low resolution, file time too short have slowly been discovered in my collection. Are there any tools you use to audit your Plex library? submitted by /u/Binky216 [li
Backing up my network based media
I currently have about 6 TB of media on a 8tb wd Mycloud server. I pay for Backblaze (personal), and have a sabrent 4 drive dock that I plug into every week, 1 of which is an empty 12tb that I was planning on using as a backup drive for the Plex library and some other files. Heres my questions/options as I see it. I am on a Mac. simply copy the media onto the 12 TB. I know this will take ages, so I'll have to do it in chunks and hope I dont need to move my laptop in that time period. I would th
Playback error has started happening
I've been a very happy Plex Pass customer for many years now. Gone through many versions of the server software and I think I'm on my 5th actual hardware server now (from upgrades, not problems) Never really ever had a problem. Plex has always been very solid and very reliable. My current server is a HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 with some large disks. Anyway, long story short, I have started have media cut out on me randomly through playing. I have tried using the web client and also the Plex ap
