Hi
Periodically when frustrations arise about Plex, or most recently, concerns for its future, jellyfin and other options come up. But seems like no one ever declares one of those options to be better. I’m a lifetime plex pass and hope plex overcomes its issues and gets back to actually improving the server functionality but I am always looking at alternatives. Am I right in assessing Plex is still the best option?
I dont know who needs to hear this but putting Plex on docker have saved my experience with Plex. I have been running Plex on Windows and weird stuff would happen. For example the play back would stutter on any device. One minute the video will direct play and the next minute the video would transcode. I have a friend that has experience the same thing. Other little weird stuff would happen as well. I even tried to reimage my pc and it did the same thing.
So I decided to move to plex docker and all my problems went away. I even have HW transcode setup and working.
The most requested feature is to have Plex server owners set the default settings for a new user—things like default resolution, default subtitle behavior, default mobile settings, etc.
Plex argues that they know the best default settings that should work for most people. But then the quandary is this…
The server owner:
All these variables are different for different people around the world. Someone in the Philippines works with different parameters than someone in South Korea.
To add to this dilemma are Plex users who are usually not technically proficient, i.e., the grandma who doesn’t know that you can switch the default quality from 720p to 1080p, so she keeps changing it manually every time. Or a semi-proficient brother who doesn’t know how Plex and transcoding work and that you get a faster stream and better quality …

If you use nzb-notify
you need to update it to the latest version.Good afternoon,
When I try to login to NZBGeek, I am presented with a login page, but when I click on login, the login.php page is blank and my login is not processed. Is anyone else having this problem. I’ve done browser and network troubleshooting on my end and I still get the same result.

Edits: *.arr return results from NZBGeek and the associated results are processed correctly.

Edit 2: Site is back up and working normally.

Thanks again for the amazing support and let’s keep counting the years …
I’m using Eweka as my provider and for my indexers I’m using slug and ninja central. I’m getting a lot of missing articles on shows older than 1500 days. Does anyone have any advice?
​
Edit: after adding the block account I am already seeing better results! Next I will add planet to my index list. Thank everyone who provided feedback.

I have a handful of full series that didnt process properly in Sonarr and I had to manually import. I want to continue seeding those for some time, but sonarr has them listed in my queue andon the shows page it continues to show “downloaded - unable to import” and I cant see the quality of the vid.
Is there some way to remove them from the queue with out removing them from my download client?
I’ve downloaded a 2160p Bluray episode and the Video Dynamic Range column shows it to be “PQ”. Never seen this before - anyone know what it is and how compatible it will be with TV’s that have or do not have HDR available ?
For reference normally this column if filled out with values such as HDR, HDR10Plus and DV.
Hello
I am using a very old Mac Mini (2012) for processing my movies and tv shows using the various ARR applications. What would be a great workhouse computer to replace my Mac Mini? Looking for something that can be upgraded if possible but stay under the $1,000 price point at the moment.
When users request stuff through ombi, sonarr/radarr download via jackett/transmission to my “download-dir” set in my transmission prefs. They then seem to copy the resulting MKV file into the “default root folder” specified in the ombi prefs for sonarr/radarr.
I was kinda assuming they’d link/move the .mkv file? But it looks like it just makes a copy? Am I missing something or is this expecting me to keep 2x copies of every show/movie I download? Of do ya’ll just have 1 massive trash/dl source drive for everything that you empty every few months?
So this is a weird issue. I use Radarr and Sonarr on my seedbox. I use Syncthing to link it up with my home system. Once or twice a year I have to clear space on the seedbox. When I delete things in Radarr, there is no issue. The files delete and nothing happens on my personal machine.
But when I delete something through Sonarr, the files are deleted on my personal machine. I’ve checked and as far as I can tell both folders have the same setting in syncthing.
I have a workaround where I go and manually delete the folders and leave the sonarr entries alone but I’m curious if there’s a setting or something I’m missing.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Update- So I was working and testing and now it appears its only anime that I have on sonaar, I’m beginning to suspect that the issue is likely with Syncthing if its with anything.
