• Performance improvements to the sidebar and home screen hubs.

Any idea why this would happen. I think it’s mostly (if not always on my roku that I’ve noticed it.

Off by ~2 seconds if I directly play but is fine if I downgrade the quality.

When I first learned how to put my media into Plex, I did it by using Handbrake, compressing the content down to .mp4, and doing my best to use “audio passthrough” for the highest quality audio tracks I could find. But nowadays a lot more discs are coming with TrueHD, which apparently isn’t supported by the .mp4 container.

I’m wondering what I should do for these audio tracks. I don’t really want to keep my media in .mkv format because of the challenge of getting subtitles to work and because the .mkv files are enormous. I’m assuming that hevc isn’t the answer, since I believe that still uses the .mp4 container. Any advice?

I wanted to share this project, I just saw it on the unraid community apps and really like the idea.

Plex Shuffler is a free and open source software application for creating shuffled playlists on Plex. It integrates with Plex and allows the user to shuffle different TV shows but keep a single TV show's episodes in order. The idea is to create a TV channel-like experience by shuffling your favorite TV shows.

to me it just sounds like a simpler way to have something like dizquetv and not have to have to add users to Home it is still very early in development and didnt work for me as it only selected my first shows library which happens to be DVR and doesnt have much content

I have never seen this before. It starts white, then turns pink after a few seconds. Everything works fine thought.

It's not happening on my when browsing my server on my Mac.

Hey, Everyone!

As you may have noticed, there have been some additions to the sidebar. I've added some links that I hope the community will find useful:

• Plex FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about using Plex Media Server and client apps with many useful links
• Plex App Setup Guide - Visual guide for first-run setup of Plex apps on smart devices (content thanks to user @tron@lemm.ee)
• Useful Plex Add-ons - Detailed info on many Plex add-ons with setup guides and other useful links

Of course, if anyone else has any useful links, etc. they'd like to share, please comment on this post or share in your own post. The best links might even get added to the sidebar!

Cheers!

These guides have been really useful for me. I link them my users to help them set original quality and avoid transcoding. Each image is for a different App UI so it makes it really easy even for the dumbest of family members! I did not make these I found them on reddit a while back and just saved the link.

I am looking for a plug-in for media requests from users.

My users suck, and won’t tell me if I’m missing stuff they want, or my copies are bad (with a few very helpful exceptions) so I’m looking for some sort of integration that like tells me what they are looking for, or makes it easy for them to ping me a suggestion to add/fix. I don’t watch most of my library, so this is a big concern.

Most of my users don’t know my number or email because they are my partner’s friends and I don’t use the email address my server is tied to, for security (nor are messages usually passed to me on the rare occasion they are sent to him). So “have them text you” isn’t really a good option, and it’s enough of a struggle to get them to use it in the first place that adding another standalone app isn’t going to do it either.

Preferably I would like something my end users don’t have to do anything to access, maybe a few button presses in their search interface? Like “search returns no results, request this content” as a button maybe?

Does anything like that exist?

Nice to see this community getting more activity, but the new release posts uses a way to big image, only spams the feed on 3rd party apps, it occupies the whole screen
