I have only started using Plex a few weeks back. I have been thinking about getting the Plex lifetime pass. But going through this sub has given me the impression that self hosted servers are no longer the focus of Plex. They’re instead focussing on their own streaming platform. Which makes sense for Plex from a business perspective.
I would like to know from users here — if you had to start afresh today, would you still buy the Plex Pass lifetime sub? Or would you opt for something like Jellyfin?
Thanks!
I get so tired of the ads, it was why we starting streaming. Yeah, I get the need to make $$, but the ads are horrible and so repetitive.
So glad I can watch my stuff on plex and avoid the ads.

So I was trying to play a 4k HDR through plex (on the computer where the plex server is being hosted). I then had this message trying to play it. Can someone explain to me why Plex NEED to convert the video and how I can make it not do that and just play the movie? It makes it look washed out
I have five servers: An unlimited Easynews followed by blocks of Newsdemon, ViperNews, usenet.farm, and XS News. While Easynews grabs 90% (23.4M/26M) after that we start to shrink to 15% (300K/2M), 9%(180K/2M), 7% (643K/918K) and then an amazing 70% (344K/491K) for XS News even though it’s searching the hardest to find articles.
Makes me wonder if I should switch to an unlimited account on Abavia and have a block for Highwinds.
I got a shameless message from a user offering to sell an nzb of bd25’s catalog for 50$, in response to a thread I started some time ago. I heard from others on that thread who got the same message.
Don’t fall for this bullshit.
The nzb in question is posted on ninjacentral and probably elsewhere.
We are currently doing some website maintenance, We should not be long :)
Sorry for the inconvenience
Does anyone happen to know which backbone UsenetDeal belongs to? I can’t find anything on their site or here, in the sidebar. The provider is very cheap, so I suspect it is a reseller of UsenetExpress.
Hi All,
We’ve removed the mod that the reddit team so graciously lent us to re-open the reddit. Nothing against him, but trust is earned, and there’s too much responsibility involved to leave this community in just anyone’s hands.
That being said, we’ll leave the reddit open, but are searching for new moderators that are interested in dealing with all that comes with moderating a reddit community of this size. Feel free to stop by Discord for a chat if you are interest.
In the meantime dev continues and we appreciate all the support and backing from all of the Radarr userbase through the ups and downs.
Q
I have all my authentication set up via Cloudflare Zero Trust, I don’t want to use Radarr’s basic password auth. Is there any way to override the new “mandatory” authentication?
Edit, add this to your config file:
<AuthenticationRequired>DisabledForLocalAddresses</AuthenticationRequired>
<AuthenticationMethod>External</AuthenticationMethod>
Edit: Thanks for all the great info. I think I have it all sorted out now. Appreciate the help.
Getting a new 4k tv so setting up a second instance of radarr. I have a separate .service file and config file.
Now all the posters in my first instance are blank posters and when I downloaded a test movie (Blade Runner 2049) radarr in the standard instance only sees the 4k version. The 4k instance shows a file in the correct folder. (if I’m explaining this right.)
In the 4k instance I only have 1 quality profile for 4k movies. It has the 4 listed 4k profiles profiles
Both instances show as separate. Both instances have different default folders.
Standard goes to /mnt/Plex4/Plex_4/Movies_4/Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
4k goes to /mnt/Plex5/Plex_5/Movies4k_5/Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
in addition Plex wont see the 1080 file now.
I’m totally perplexed as to why this is not working.

Note: I didn’t want to setup a proxy or port forwarding stuff just to get Sonarr calendar. I anyway most of the time only check the calendar while on localnetwork.
If that is our case, keep reading. BE WARNED - Very Jank Solution.

Install this app that lets you create a widget from a website.
I’ve set it up so the page refresh’s every 24 hours.
I noticed today that no matter how many times I restart Radarr I’m getting database locked.
I tried the sqlite3 .recover trick but it didn’t fix it.
I’m using mdadm to create a raid6 cluster for docker to access locally on my server so it shouldn’t be smb / nfs issue since it’s a direct mount.
Pastbin of logs right after a restart of Radarr at trace level: https://pastebin.com/7n1QpQtx

Any ideas?
Should I just delete the db and re-import everything?
