2 years ago I made a series of guides that showed how to enable direct play step by step. Weirdly just got an email now telling me that it’s been taken down.
Strangely motivated to update it for the latest Plex design now.
So firstly this is the article in question.

Most of it is extracted from the paywalled original article;

A few things stand out in this article, its quite clear whoever wrote the article has an inside scoop on the goings on at Plex for this year, teasing a “significant” redesign, but more crucially, uses the word “currently” when talking about Plex allowing users to have their own files on their servers.
Couple this with a few DMCA takedowns recently (quite a coincidence that they’re bringing out a store at the same time as employing a company to act on behalf of their takedowns.)
Here is the signed form that Markscan is acting on behalf of Plex, for anyone unsure of the credibility.

Anyone else worried this may be the end of our own media servers with Plex? …
This was at a friend’s house with their Hisense TV. I freaked out ..he has no idea what Plex was 🤓 I had a geek moment. The closest I’ve gotten is a sticker over my Netflix button on my shield remote wish there was a comple replacement button for that tho
It’s alive again but has been seriously scaled back. Will still return current results though.
I’m considering discontinuing some indexers when my subscription is up, including Dog, but I’m unsure about keeping either .su or Finder. I can’t afford all the ones I currently pay for, and I already have lifetime access to other platforms. What’s your opinion on dropping NZB.su or Finder?

I am still getting slow speeds and missing articles on everything.
I even tried most non-ssl ports. There is no difference with bonus or blocknews.
Everything was good up until a couple weeks ago.
UPDATE: My problems seem to be fixed now. Win11 latest update 22h2 borked my Logitech mouse drivers and did not play nice with Sab.
Using old Microsoft mouse now its working great again.
Anyone else noticed it’s been down like 4 times this week?
Hello all,
Is Usnenet Crawler now defunct? The reviews seem very promising but I can’t seem to find the web address.
Navigating the world of media quality and formats can be overwhelming. Questions like “Is 4k better than 1080p?” or “What’s the difference between x264 and x265?” are common among the broader community.
I started this project to strip away the technical hassle and focus on what’s important - getting the media you want. The idea is to fully automate your *arr setup, tailoring them to your preferences. I’ve put together a set of quality profiles and custom formats that are all about hitting specific requirements:
The core of this project is the Profile Selector, a tool designed to guide users in choosing the right quality profile for their needs. This project is constantly evolving, so existing profiles are …
I recently automated my plex media server with the arr suite (sonarr, radarr, abittorrent, prowlarr, requestarr, overseerr and glutetun). I ran it all off an older Lenovo pc running ubuntu and set everything up with portainer/ docker compose. (yes yes i’m very aware now, don’t use portainer to set these up) but i did anyway, and the reason for this was because i hardly knew what ubuntu was before learning about plex/ arr suite so using portainer felt less intimidating. As you can imagine, i had many different issues and problems arise, but when i did get it somewhat working cohesively it was glorious and i was instantly hooked. Fast forward two weeks to now, i grabbed some spare parts and put together a custom built pc running an i7 12700k, 48gb of ram, 2.5gb networking and 10tb of hdd. (yes not a lot i know, i’m looking for deals on 14tb WD drives.) My question is, if any of you were to build and automate a new system, hardware aside, what OS would you use and what …
Really just for informational purposes.
Is it possible to tag either in radarr or prowlarr somehow a movie with the indexer it grabbed from?
I’d like to be able to see which ones are grabbed from more than others sometimes.
Thank you!
All search capable Indexers are temporarily unavailable due to recent indexer error
All rss-capable Indexers are temporarily unavailable
Every week I get these errors in sonarr and radarr on Asustor nas installed in a docket container
Only way to fix it is power cycle the nas
Any suggestions to why this is happening barring in mind I’m not super technical
