So I got this email just now:
Yesterday, we discovered suspicious activity on one of our databases. We immediately began an investigation and it does appear that a third-party was able to access a limited subset of data that includes emails, usernames, and encrypted passwords. Even though all account passwords that could have been accessed were hashed and secured in accordance with best practices, out of an abundance of caution we are requiring all Plex accounts to have their password reset.
So were these passwords encrypted, in which case they could be decrypted if the adversary got the key, or hashed? Hashed passwords leaking would be much less of an issue.
Edit: Encryption and hashing is not the same thing.
Edit2: Passwords were hashed with salt, not encrypted (see this comment)
Edit3: Just for clarity this is the best case scenario. It’s difficult to reverse hashed passwords unless they are very simple. Plex got the word out quickly so we have plenty of time to change our …
Don’t get me wrong, it’s no good to have a data breach. But most large online services will at some point, and the way Plex is almost mandating password resets instead of allowing customers to ignore it is the right way to do it. Going to plex.tv now redirects to a password reset automatically.
And, of course, they notified users quickly.
In short, I think companies should be recognized when they handle breaches well to encourage other companies to do the same.
Now fix your damn downloads/sync!
TL;DR: If you do not see your server in Settings on your local Plex Web, also check allowedNetworks
for an outdated IP range when following this support page. You might have set that up a long time ago to mitigate Plex Service outages and changed something in your network setup since!
When resetting my password and logging out of all devices I hit the same problem as a lot of you here: I wanted to reclaim my server, but it wasn‘t showing up in Settings > General.
Reading through Plex Documentation, a lot of posts here and using the ClaimIt Shell script, I found nothing that helped, but I remembered that I once (a long time ago) set my server up so that it would work on my local network even if Plex Services went down. Since then I changed my local IP Range and had totally forgotten about the setting in my local Plex Server. Fast forward to now: after 2 hours of trying everything else I searched where I had changed the IP range. Since I obviously couldn’t access the Server …
Update: Hi Nzbplanet Users, as you know last week we had a hardware failure, around the same time we decided it was time to upgrade to a bigger server as we had pretty much out grown the other one, since the server move we have been experiancing a few issues as you have probably noticed, site speed and the API up and down ect, We finally found out an hour ago that we have a bad batch of ram in the new server, we have ordered more but it will not be here for 24 hours hours, so we ask that you bear with us another 24-48 hours and then everything will be back to normal, we apologise again for the disruption and all going well within the next 48 hours we will be back to full speed
Sorry for the inconvenience

Any idea what’s going on? I wondered if it was just a.b.multimedia, but checked a few others and seems the same on multiple groups.
Dear Farmers,
Our summer sale is coming to an end. With an average of 20.33% and a max of 35% discount it was a bit cooler this year then last year.
For this reason we set the discount to a minimum of 35%, so even when the temperature is lower you still get 35% discount!
Our sale is running till the end of this month so make sure you get your discount before it ends!
What do you need to do to get this discount?
Just make a payment, the discount is automatically subtracted! No account yet? Sign-up for the free trial and make a payment after that.
TIP: You can always add additional payments, so if you want some extra time against 35% discount you can make another payment and this will add up.
Spread the love and have a great summer and stay safe!
Your friends from Usenet.Farm
Hi,
i’ve used Usenet for awhile now, and have a friend who has access to a multi gig link (above 10gig) and we’re trying to figure out if theres a configuration of providers (or a provider where we can just pay for multiple accounts/increased connections) that could saturate 5-10gbps. I use Newsdemon as my primary provider, and can see 800mbps down most of the time, but we’d love to see if its possible to get a configuration where we can put his network to work. does anyone have any recommendations or experience in this area?

Thank you.

Solved!!: Downloaded prowlarr and it worked
I’m on a mission to add almost everything to my media server, currently i have *DB and Trakt popular list + giladg’s Trakt lists but that only amounts to around 3K movies
anyone got one?
EDIT: Thanks everyone! Listrr was the solution!
I am running Sonarr and Plex on unraid to manage my English TV shows and it works a treat, I should have downloaded it sooner. I absolutely love it!
I would like to have Sonarr to manage my anime library too, however they are in their own separate libraries in Plex, and I would like Sonarr to download anime into the respective anime folder.
Is that possible under the one Sonarr instance or will I have to run a separate docker container for anime?
My folder structure that is accessible to my current Sonarr docker is as follows::
/media
Anime
TV Shows
Thanks!
Hi, is it possible to hide “{edition-}” in file rename, when no edition is provided?
