Hey everyone. I’ve been using Plex for about a decade now. 2 years back, I convinced our family to cut-the-cord and switch to a Plex Pass setup for live TV and DVR. I got a ton of great advice from this sub on what hardware to buy. This was great because, while I was a longtime Plex user, it was really a “have PMS running on a laptop so that I can cast media around the house without having to carry a flash drive”. Like many of you on this sub, I enjoy tweaking settings, monitoring with Tautulli, and testing hardware. As something extra, I’ve enjoyed doing a cost-benefit analysis over the years and watching our savings grow.
I’ve detailed our hardware purchased, cost savings, a review of experience over the 2 year period at my website. It’s my first time writing something like this, so I’m open for feedback.

This ISN’T a recently learned lesson or fuck up per-se, but it’s always been an acceptable risk for some of my non-prod stuff. My Plex server is for me only, and about half of the media was just lost due to a RAID array failure that became unrecoverable.
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone who is still treating RAID as a backup solution, it is not one. If you care about your media, get a proper backup. Your drives will fail eventually.
cheers to a long week of re-ripping a lot of blu-rays.
Third party clients like Infuse and PKC do this and it makes using Plex so much better, especially remotely.
At least for me, for some reason on regular Plex apps such as the Windows 10 app, the iPhone app, or the web app, it always takes forever for search results and library pages to load but actually streaming a show doesn’t take much time to load at all.
EDIT: Also the fact that iPhone users have to pay $5 for an app that transcodes more often and has less features than a third party client is kind of ridiculous
Happy Prime Day everyone!
E.g. nzbking searches load within 1-2 seconds and are immediately displayed. Drunkenslug searches always need like 5-6 seconds
Recently I have been grabbing NZB Geek files and every single file in there has a different file name and none of the files have a file extension.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me figure this out?
I’m kind of a “set and forget” type person so hadn’t realized all the headaches I’d been having trying to get certain titles. Went to a new indexer, NZBGeek, and also setup radarr through docker. By using NZBGeek as my primary and NZBfinder as my backup I’m seriously in doubt I’d ever need a secondary newshosting service. So if you’re like me it’s worth taking a look at.

Sweet dreams 😴😴
uBlock blocks it without any apparent consequences; I just wondered what it was for.
I’m using Apple TV 4k HDR to with Plex to view content pulled with Radarr. I have an older 4K TV that doesn’t support any HDR, so everything appears green and purple.
How can I set-up Radarr v3.2.2 to only download non-HDR 4K movies?
My Raspberry Pi is setup with a dockers container running sonarr, but I can’t get it to see my external hard drive. In raspian I can open the drive and see my files, but sonarr won’t see it. Any fixes?
Edit - after trying automods link, still can’t get it to see my external HDD
I can with NZBFinder and wondering if I could implement something to radarr to avoid some of the bad recommendations. I kept pulling up older queries on this before v3 was released.
As the title says I get the downloads started from Sonarr in SabNZB, they complete and are moved to the completed folder but Sonarr refuses to move them to the Plex directory. Below will be, my docker compose files and /mnt permisssions for my Pi.
