Almost everyone I add to a plex share will contact me telling me they see nothing. Then I have to tell them to select the library. It’s a useless tab that only causes confusion for new users. If they don’t want to eliminate it they should at least not make it the default
Hey everyone. Today I want to introduce you to a little hobby project of mine: PerPlexed
PerPlexed is a complete redesign of Plex’s UI using the plex mediaserver’s API. It comes with its own web server. As the keen eye may notice, the UI is heavily inspired by Netflix’s UI. It is currently only optimized for desktops and laptops. It is not optimized for mobile or TV use.
PerPlexed currently supports Movie and TV Show libraries. You can also play media via the interface.
Music libraries may follow at some point.
​
Here are the links if you want to check it out yourself and maybe run it yourself.
DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/ipmake/perplexed

Mind that this project is still in development and may be unstable.
I’ve been dealing with Plex’s buggy downloading feature for long enough now, and it’s frustrating as heck. Half the time, it fails to download episodes, throws some vague error message with those annoying three dots, and I can’t even see the full reason because my screen isn’t wide enough. Plus, when I try to download in original quality, my phone just gives me a black screen and refuses to play it. And don’t get me started on transcoding to 1080p – it takes forever and often gets stuck all night long. Oh, and cancelling a download because it’s stuck? Say goodbye to all the other episodes too.
Seriously, Plex, when are you gonna sort this out? And to think, I switched from Jellyfin for this downloading feature, only to find out it’s half-baked. I’m crossing my fingers that Jellyfin gets downloading with transcoding soon. In the meantime, any suggestions on what I can do? (Battery optimization’s all good, by the way.)
With a color changing arrow every time it bounces. It would be a fun throwback to when you would wait for it to hit right in the corner.
Just an idea :)
I’m currently sitting at around 25TB large media library consisting of mostly movies & series, and some concerts and a bit of music (which is still pretty small compared to other stuff I’ve seen around here).
Everything’s replicated daily to an offsite backupserver (TN Scale -> TN Scale) since I’m pretty paranoid about losing data after suffering a loss of a 2TB drive not being backed up in my early days of collection digital media.
Just out of curiosity:
Which size of media library do you guys still back up, and from which size one do you think it’s just not economic / worth it anymore personally?
This week we saw the feed size expand to over 300TB being posted in a single day. This is an increase of over 100TB since February of 2023. This 50% increase per day has been a gradual but steady increase. We are now storing 9PB per month of new data, or 3PB per month more than a year ago.
This means we now store more in two weeks than were posted for the entire year of 2014. To compare data from 5000 days ago, we now post more data in one week than was posted for the entire year of 2010!
At this pace, we will store more in the next 365 days than was posted in total from January 2009 thru June 2020!!!

EDIT: I corrected the % increase. It is 50%, not 150%. Thanks to u/george_toolan for pointing out my incorrect wording.
Is it price? Do they have more unique content? Is it their user interface? Number of API calls allowed?
I’ll start off by sharing mine. I love Slug because it’s always up, the price is affordable, and over 90% of what I look for on their site is available.
Second for me is Su. Has lots of great German content, affordable price, and the uptime is 100% afaik.
This may sound strange to some people here but I remember using Usenet back during the late 90s in my college days. It was a unique experience that I continued until about 2004 when a hard drive crash destroyed the newsreader I was using. Years later I tried to get on Usenet again and I found all these stories of Usenet was no longer free to browse and use, and now you needed a paid service just to access it.
Now I am curious about Usenet again and I am finding what feels to me a lot of weird stuff about now needing a VPN in order to just browse Usenet. What happened to all the old free programs that could be used to browse Usenet? Do you truly have to pay some VPN or subscription service just to view what was once the most free information and community thing online?
I just want to know what happened. And if there are any free programs to allow me access to Usenet again without having to pay money just browse the countless funny stories and newsfeeds that I used to enjoy.
It just opened up. I still have an alert running, even though I already have an account for a year or something. But if somebody still needs to jump on.
So some of the indexers I use and some that I dont use, offer lifetime membership. My indexers are Geek, Slug, Dog and Ninja. Only have lifetime on geek just because when i first started using usenet this past november, Geek was highly recommended by pretty much every person. I have been considering if I should get lifetime on a few indexers. I have heard stories of people being burned because the indexer shuts down shortly after they buy a lifetime.
Since I’m new to Usenet, I was curious how often indexers shut down? And the average lifespan of most indexers? I’m sure there are many factors to this but was curious if they shut down generally within a certain time frame.
Do they all get shutdown eventually?
Maybe I have my Radarr or Sonarr setup incorrectly but it really seems difficult for me to locate movies or shows when using nzbgeek or dognzb, especially with shows. Everything that gets thrown back at me for the most part is 264. Looking at threads I do see others having had the issue…years ago. My understanding is that 265 is more widely adapted which would tell me it should be more readily available. But currently the majority of Movies that are grabbed are 264 and almost all my TV shows are 264 necessitating me to use Tdarr and honestly if it’s going to take weeks to convert, I might be better off spending my money on a month or so for another site if it’s not a config issue.

I am struggling to be able to set Radarr to pull the right torrents. My ‘HD-1080p’ profile that contains WEBRip-1080p, WEBDL-1080p and Bluray-1080p in that order seems to be off the rails a bit. I request a popular movie from Overseerr, and Radarr decides to go for a 6GB bluray even though Bluray is third priority in that profile and there are many many WEBRip 1080p available (and also my bluray limit is 5GB). Not sure what the issue is - I would also like to include a keyword like ‘YIFY’ for example to search for first but I cannot see any way to do that.
I have had a little look at the Wiki but I am unfortunately not really any closer to finding a solution. I am wondering if one of you with the experience with this are able to help me at all? I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you.
So I referenced this archived thread and it got me started:https://www.reddit.com/r/radarr/comments/qt3uwi/i_really_dont_understand_custom_profiles_can/
…but I’m still unclear what these numbers mean exactly, even after reading Trash’s guide. I’m hoping someone can better clarify what the numbers 10, 20 and 30 in my screenshot are doing exactly.

I dont care about posters or fanart in Rararr, is it possible to delete the MediaCovers
folder or better yet prevent it from downloading?
I’m worried if I delete it that it will just download everything again.
I’ve search the settings and internet and havent found much about it. I assume because it really isnt that big of a deal, ~4GB but I figured I’d ask.
