Hi /r/PleX ,
2 Years ago, I introduced a PowerShell script that would utilize ffmpeg to scan all your video files, with an option to attempt to repair those errors, and let you know which ones returned an error during playback. Since that time I have worked on issues and implemented many new features. One recent request was to have an easier method of running the script for users not comfortable with command like arguments and so v3.0 was born.
Brief Script Overview:
The ScanMedia.ps1 script utilizes ffmpeg, the same tool Plex uses, to decode the video stream and captures the output for any errors during playback and sends the playback errors to a log file. So essentially it plays the video in the background faster than regular speed. It then checks the error output log file to see if there is anything inside. If ffmpeg was able to cleanly play the file, it counts as a passed file. If there is any error output, an error could be anything from a container issue, a missed frame …
Christmas approaches, and it’s a good time to watch a movie with family and friends - even if you need to do it without physically being together.
For me, I have the same problem every year: picking a movie. This year, tho, I have built a little app to help, and I’d like to share it with you all.
This is how it works:
The app is free and open source, and you can find instructions on how to set it up on here - github.com/LukeChannings/moviematch.
Here are some pictures and a video of it in action - https://imgur.com/a/q47c4oy
Hope you like it!
Update:

We’re happy to announce that IPv6 server addresses have added to our US location. A few recently reported speed issues were tracked back to the user’s service provider IPv6->IPv4 gateway. Anyone that is accessing our service over IPv6 will probably see a significant bump in speed since your traffic will no longer flow via these gateways. We’ve already seen about 15% of our traffic shift over to the IPv6 address and expect a bit more once DNS fully propagates. Please message support if you have any odd issues and you’re on IPv6.
We’re working on EU and expect to have it finished this evening or early Monday. Other UsenetExpress resellers will have IPV6 enabled when EU is also updated.
Edit. IPv6. Autocorrect got me. Lol
We posted this to our blog a few days ago at UsenetExpress. We have been seeing some really great numbers on our article retrieval latency due to the addition of some new NVMe drives. As the blog article states, we have seen some latency decreases in the range of 22ms! Good stuff.

Just upgraded to V3 and I find myself missing how well the previous version worked with my Pixelbook’s 3:2 aspect ratio. When doing a manual search on V3, most of the file names are cut off and I need to scroll right to see the download button. There are also some UI elements, such as the movie poster that get discarded when using the Pixelbook default scaling.
As a “band-aid” fix I can reduce the scaling for the website, 80% seems to do the trick for everything except longer file names (download icon and poster art are fine at 80%). Unfortunately, since I have Radarr behind a reverse proxy, that change affects all other applications behind the proxy.
Would love to see some scaling improvements as well as an option to hide certain columns… for example I don’t use torrents so I will never need the “peers” column. The issue with long file names can be solved by having them extent to the next row, never cutting off the name (already handled …
I’m using this
https://userstyles.org/styles/142759/darkerr-a-darker-theme-for-sonarr-radarr
for radarr and it works well, its supposed to work with sonarr but it doesn’t seem to apply? Am i doing something wrong?
I don’t think this post violates the rules, but if it does, please let me know.
I’ve been using radarr, indexing torrents (jackett) and usenet. I have a 300 minute delay before using torrents.
I rarely seem to find 4k movies on usenet. I have nzb finder and tabula rasa as my indexers. Is it a matter of not having the best indexers for that type of media?
I have the same “problem” with basically any movie (1080p), but it’s more of a 50⁄50 thing with lower res movies. The 4k movies are almost always found on torrents but neither of my usenet indexers. Would other indexers help?
Thanks!
(i posted this on the usenet sub as well but i am not sure if it’ll be/stay removed or not, so i figured i’d ask here for help!)
Hi /r/Sonarr, as you probably know we (the mods) really haven’t had a chance to connect or discuss things with the community
We just wanted to reach out and get your feedback on mod policies/actions, auto moderator feedback, and generally open a bit of a dialogue.
So blast away
Some leeway will be allowed with the comments….but behave!
Comments about the v3 UI or when is it going stable, etc will be removed without warning
