I hope everyone’s Monday has been better than mine today.
I started the day with an e-mail (screenshot) from Plex telling me that my account has been deactivated from accepting payments for running my server and user access. I figured I would share my end of the story so anyone else that got banned can compare and maybe we can see if there is something that we are doing that caused us to get roped up in this.
​
Anyone have a similar setup?
I have seen others saying that the higher user count is what is flagging the accounts to get removed, but it seems crazy to me that they would allow us to …
Holy fuck, how is this not a bigger issue being addressed by Plex? Why can’t we lock our posters? I have to change my posters every couple of days because they keep forcing their bootleg looking posters on me.
Is there a wave of accounts getting disabled? Two of the people who were sharing with me got their accounts disabled. One is a friend of mine who only shared with a couple of people and certainly didn’t do this commercially.
What is going on right now?
Edit: thanks to everyone who has commented with input to make this better. I put up this guide 11 hours ago and have had to make about 10 edits because so many people have commented wanted to see this improve. Love this subreddit <3

I’ve been a Plex admin for about 6 years now, a Plex Pass holder for about 3 of those, and have spent way too much time trying to optimise my server to best suit my needs. This post should hopefully serve as a guide for those having issues with how to configure their servers, and also go through ways to best optimise it for those wanting to improve their own.
That said, there are plenty of great YouTube guides that will cover this content too, so be sure to do follow up research if you need more information. This is a great community, and we’re all here to help.

Posters
You want to make your server’s content look awesome but not know where to start? Picking coherent posters is the key here. By default, Plex …
After years of usenet experience, I suddenly encountered my 1st Trojan. Not doing anything out of the ordinary, no executable files ever. Windows Defender detected / quarantined it while processing it in the intermediate folder. Detected as: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml Was quite surprised to see this. I did some research on this Trojan and found everything from a false positive to a dangerous credential stealing botnet. I’m wondering if anyone else has had an experience similar to this. Would appreciate your insight.
Because Giganews decided to use a non-standard code for missing/DCMA’d-articles it turns out that SABnzbd would ignore the result and drop the connection after the timeout. Which can be quite a while.
We now correctly handle their code and will display a warning if we get a new code that we don’t know.
So, if you are a Giganews user, I would advice to start using SABnzbd 4.2.3 (release candidate).
Is anyone else having SSL Cert errors for with ViperNews?

I currently have - Althub, Drunken slug, Nzbgeek, Nzbplanet, Nzbsu,
How many is too many? Is there any you would add to this?
I use eweka and have a newsdemon block. Only just starting using usenet so still trying to work out the best setup etc.
Thanks
For several weeks now I have been getting dl speeds of around 1 Meg from Eweka. It used to be lightening fast. My server speedtests at 100 Meg. Anyone else seeing slower speeds?
edit: Here is the speed test in NZBGet buy I can only download at about 1MB
edit2: Restarted my modem. Don’t know what the problem was but that fixed it.
Yeah, it’s been talked about to death. I’m going to talk about it again. Grabbing and organizing cartoon series without being able to choose between TVDB’s Aired and DVD orders makes it a brutal experience. Pretty much every cartoon series I’ve come across uses DVD ordering when numbering episodes, so Sonarr absolutely massacres grabbing those due to solely relying on the Aired order. It impacts an entire genre of television show.
But everyone already knows this. Adding a Series Order drop-down menu in the Edit window would be sufficient.
I’m dealing with this tonight and it’s so annoying I’m actually posting about it.
Let’s end on a high note… Adding custom formats in v4 is a huge win, so thanks for that.
Tried to find a chrome extension that allowed me to browse TMDB and start download (or add them to my radarr). Did not find any so made my own.
Theres simply 2 different views in TMDB, the overview and the individual movie pages. In the overview we can see which ones that are downloaded, added (but not downloaded) etc… In the page view we can see a new button added, this button can be pressed to add them to radarr. Thinking of adding more buttons such as remove. The button switches image depending on if the movie is downloaded, only added or don’t exist at all.
Just wanted to share this, lmk what you guys think :)
Hi,
Just started using radarr and set my profile up with the trash guide.
3⁄4 of my films are blu-ray 1080p and I have set it that upgrades until blu-ray 1080p. But now I see it updates my old movies to even remux-2160p? What gives?
New movies are set to remux 2160p but I don’t want it update all my old movies.
Minimum custom format score = 0 Upgrade until custom format score = 50 (Like in the guide).
Is it possible to auto-rename a movie folder when it upgrades?
I have a lot movies (pre radarr) which have the release groups name, movie info, etc in the folders name. When updating the movie the filename updates but the movie folders stays the same.
I want it to update to the new folder scheming name when it upgrades a movie.
Is it possible or do I have to mass edit and choose a root folder?
Is there any sort of noticeable performance difference between running the -arr apps on an old Mac mini vs modern hardware?
