This post and the comments inside have made me realize Plex has really dropped the ball at advertising the true Plex Media Player successor called PlexHTPC. Plex for Windows is meant for a desktop environment while PlexHTPC is like PMP where it is designed for a living room environment, aka a 10-foot user interface. It also has the same remote control functionality that PMP had. Both have their specific purposes but if you want the old PMP experience you should definitely give PlexHTPC a try.
I mean.. there’s a reason for a forced subtitle right?
“Forced subtitle is the subtitle appearing on screen when the characters speak a foreign or alien language, or there is a sign, location, or other text in a scene which needs to be explained but cannot be translated in the localization or dubbing.”
“Shown with foreign audio + prefer forced subtitles” does not work as intended.
I’ve read countless threads elaborating on this very problem. Especially annoying in shows that seem to have a lot of “alien language”.
In the past I shared some walkthrough on how I set up my Formula 1 library in Plex.

This was quite popular. so now a few years later, and with the new season coming up, I want to share with you my new way of automating my Formula 1 library, including setting metadata like titles and dates. Just setup proper filenames and let Plex and Plex Meta Manager do the rest of the work!
Before you can start you need the following setup:
- Plex Media Server
- Plex Meta Manager (currently only works with 1.16.1)
Make sure you have the Plex Meta Manager setup correctly and working before you proceed.
Let’s start with the basics:
Every Formula 1 season will be a TV Show in Plex. Season 2001, Season 2002, etc.
Every race will be a Season in Plex. Season 1 will be the Australian GP, Season 2 will be the Bahrain …
Hey all thought I’d mention this since I’ve had a pretty good experience with newsgroupdirect as a backup. 4TB block for $25 is a steal and I’m not sure how long the deal lasts. I just grabbed a block as of 10 minutes before this post.
Hi there,
St. Patrick’s Day, a cultural and religious celebration in Ireland held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
According to tradition, Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. It says that he spent many years evangelising in the northern half of Ireland and converted thousands of people. Patrick died on 17 March and was buried at Downpatrick. Over the following centuries, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became Ireland’s foremost saint.
Fun fact: Patrick’s efforts against the druids were eventually turned into an allegory in which he drove “snakes” out of Ireland, despite the fact that snakes were not known to inhabit the region.
Isn’t this beautiful? The Chicago river turns green again for St. Patrick’s …
When picking two or three indexers to use, would you consider the code base when selecting them? For example newznab or nZEDb or NNTmux.
I’m in the UK looking for the cheapest possible, usenet. With at least 1TB a month of traffic.
Does anyone know where the search results are coming from? Which indexer/site/database they are searching?
It seems to do a better job then most other resources I’ve found.
I have some episodes of this German series called “Deadline - Jede Sekunde zählt” recorded from TV on my system and I want to index them in Sonarr, but whatever I do, it won’t find the show. Neither normal search nor the Library Import will find the correct match:
https://thetvdb.com/series/81238-show
So it is clearly there on TheTVDB and it has a link to IMDB but neither searching for the series name nor the TVDB ID nor the IMDB ID turns up what I want. Suggestions? Help?
Since I have HDR projectors, I’ve been purposefully looking for HDR contents vs. non-HDR, but today I found that non-HDR contents are more than double the size of HDRs.
Could anyone help me understand why this may occur? In this particular case, which one is considered less compressed?
On some series I get a mix of english (UK) episodes mixed in with my U.S. episodes. Series like Ancient Aliens and The Curse of Oak Island lose a lot, without Robert Clotworthy narrating! He makes those series! I cannot figure out how to force Sonarr to retrieve only the U.S. version of the episodes. Anyone point me in the right direction here?
Hello!
Do people really see difference watching a 30gb movie vs. 5-10gb?
I only watch 1080p on a laptop or 32” monitor, and I have a slow internet connection, so it’s painful to download 10gb+ movie. Today I tested one of these big files remotely and got:
Transcode reason
“Not enough bandwidth for direct play of this item. Required bandwidth is 21815kbps and only 4000kbps is available”
“App cannot direct play this item. Not direct play video profile exists for protocol http, with container mkv, and video codec h264”
“The enhanced Video Player cannot be used when Automatically Adjust Quality is enabled”
Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: M:\Downloads\Our.Flag.Means.Death.S01E04.Discomfort.in.a.Married.State.REPACK.1080p.HMAX.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-NPMS[rartv]
If it grabs a file torrent that isn’t inside the folder with [] in it, it works perfectly. But for some reason whenever it has that in it it just doesn’t grab them.
Any ideas?
