I just launched Plex for Android TV and almost got a heart attack from what is apparently a new horrible, terrible startup sound. I hate it very, very much. It’s the worst feature Plex has added ever, IMO. What makes it even worse is that there’s no apparent setting to disable it. So, how do I disable it?! Is this what will finally force me to switch to Jellyfin?
To the Plex team: How could anyone in their right mind think it was a good idea to suddenly spring this on users, without warning, and with no clear way to disable it? It’s not even mentioned in the changelog FFS. What were you thinking?
Edit:
It was removed the day after in 9.12, again without mention in the changelog. This tells me they wanted to sneak it in, see what the reaction would be and then silently remove it if it got enough backlash. This way, they can always say it was just a mistake that wasn’t supposed to be included.
Hi all!
Wish my first message in this subreddit would have been a happier one, but unfortunately my father recently passed away suddenly. He had a sizeable media server setup for backing up all of our family pictures and videos, but unfortunately never got to teach me how to care for it. I have the login info for it,
What are some tips & tricks you wish you knew when you first started using Plex?
Is there any way to download entire folders from the server to back it up elsewhere?
Is there a timeframe where I should check for updates every X days?
Are there any hardware upgrades I should prioritize that might help performance on other devices connecting to it via our home network? (all of the parts in the host pc are fairly old, and will eventually need updating, just need to know what i should upgrade first)
Anything at all would be awesome, I’m fairly computer literate, but not quite as tech savvy as he was, so I have some catching up to do.
Hope you all had a great …
All of my devices spin up the loading wheel for a solid 10 seconds or more when opening the plex, sometimes failing to retrieve my media until I retry.
I have remote access enabled, connected via Ethernet, and running PMS on a Mac mini m1 (8gb ram, ssd).
I have under 200 shows/movies, and am into adding or removing stuff often. Playback works great.
Are there any suggestions on how to improve response time?
While new releases already became sparse over the past few years, it seems hugbug has now officially abandoned the development of NZBGet.The repository on Github has been archived and is now read-only: https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget
I reached out to him to see if he hopes/wants someone else to take over development, will update if I get a response. He mentioned in previous email contact that he lost interested in NZBGet a bit over the years, so it did not come as a surprise to me.
Edit with response from hugbug:
Since the project is open source anyone can fork it. I hope he/she/they will clearly indicate their relation (or the lack of) to the original project, to not fool users.
It shows the risk of many (Usenet) open-source programs: they are mostly dependent on a single person. SABnzbd is not much different 🫢
Of course, NZBGet is working fine the way it is, but wanted to share in case anyone wants to pick up the torch and continue the development 😊
I’ve been with newsgroup.ninja for quite a while now and was always happy with the service. On friday, I took the opportunity to extend my account by purchasing the BF deal with BTC via BitPay.
A bit later I received the confirmation from BitPay, saying that my BTC arrived successfully and the money was sent to NGN successfully as well.
Nothing changed in my NGN account though, so I contacted them by creating a ticket, saying that I paid but got nothing on NGN.
First response was completely ignoring what I was saying and just replied my account will be extended after my current one ran out. I then replied saying that I should see an invoice on the billing tab in that case. They then just replied that my credit card was declined. I didn’t pay via credit card so that seemed odd. Feels like they didn’t really look at my account at all.
They then just closed the ticket and asked “How did we do?”. Well, not good for sure.
I replied by sending them my …
Not the largest sample as I only started recently but daaamn niceee
Does DrunkenSlug delete or deactivate accounts that don’t hold a paid subscription after a period of time?
Hey, I know there are a bunch of people still on v2 for various reasons. It’s time to upgrade to v3, or if you’re feeling adventurous and want a ton more speed, to v4 beta - skip v3 entirely.
V2 is broken in many small, and a couple of large, ways. It hasn’t had an update since March of 2020, and will not ever see any more updates. Since then, XEM has moved domains, so if you’re doing any anime, it’s broken.
Please take a few minutes today and update. Finally, pull that trigger. Not doing it because “it still runs fine” you don’t want to rock the boat is not really a valid reason any more, almost 3 years out from the last update, and more than 1700 commits old.
Do yourself a favor today and update.
Hello,
I’ve recently and have been happily using the *arrapps ecosystem, so while I’m definitely not now to computers/internet/file-formats/codecs/torrent/etc, I am indeed new to the arr world.
A couple of month ago I’ve added a custom release profile adding 10 points when the file is h265 (via /\b([xh].?265|hevc)\b/i regexp) and since then most of the stuff downloaded by Sonarr is indeed happily in h265.
I was hoping, over time, Sonarr would have “upgraded to h265” all my old h264 files (or at least those that could be found int he new encoding), pretty much like it happens with resolution with the “Upgrades Allowed” and “Upgrade Until” options, but none of my old files seems to have been replaced with a newer one.
The only idea I have to some how “force” a new download is to physically delete the old files and hope at some point they’ll be back in h265, which is a bit suboptimal as possible solution.
Is …
I know there are imdb and StevenLu lists pre-configured, but I only want to see upcoming 4k Blu Ray releases. This could mean a newly released movie or older movies that are being re-released in 4k. Does anyone else have something like this set up? Being able to import a calendar like this would be amazing: https://ultrahd.highdefdigest.com/releasedates_historical.html
I have deleted the folder because it had 3000+ movies in all kinds of diffirent qualities.
So I wanted to redownload it but Radarr still says that I have them on the disk.
How do I solve this?
