## Weekly Advice / No Stupid Questions Post This is part of a weekly series of Plex Advice threads for novices and pros alike to ask questions, give advice, troubleshoot, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community. Common subjects can include: - Plex Media Server setup - System requirements and advice buying components - Advice choosing the operating system that's right for you * Getting started with a new operating system (eg. Linux, macOS, etc.) - Advanced setup and configuration - Help with PMS add-ons: * Docker * VPN advice * Setup / configuration of the \*arr family of apps (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit! Cheers! --- ### Useful Resources - [Plex FAQ](https://rentry.co/46dkv) - Frequently Asked Questions about using Plex Media Server and client apps with many useful links - [Useful Plex Add-ons](https://rentry.co/p5vfp#lidarr) - Detailed info on many Plex add-ons with setup guides and other useful links - [Organizing and Naming Your Media Files](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/) - [Troubleshooting Server Connections](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200931138-Troubleshooting-Server-Connections) - [Plex User Forums](https://forums.plex.tv/)

Since [this post](https://lemmy.ml/post/3338287) was made last week, we've gotten a lot of feedback regarding the new policy, and it's understandable that many of you are unhappy with the restriction. It makes it difficult to discuss how to effectively set up a full Plex server stack which includes a VPN and torrent solution which feed into Sonarr / Radarr / etc. So, after some discussion and thought, we've decided to loosen the rule a litte bit in order to better facilitate such discussions. Moving forward, discussions regarding *how* to acquire media will be permitted. Users here who need help setting up and troubleshooting the means and methods of acquiring media - such as installing VPN and torrent client docker containers - may come here for help and users here may feel free to answer openly. Soon, we may feature guides in the sidebar to help facilitate these processes, as the goal here is to help Plex users set up and operate Plex Media Servers. The line where it becomes *unacceptable* is where discussion veer into the acquisition of any *specific* media. **Posts or comments asking how to find/acquire specific shows / films / albums and on are *not* permitted.** As stated previously, there are other communities for that. Frankly, they’re better resources for that kind of help anyway. We hope these loosened restrictions make it easier for users here to have open discussions and make it more *clear* that we're trying to focus on the purpose of helping Plex users set up, troubleshoot, and maintain their servers. Rule 4 in the sidebar has been updated to reflect this shift in policy. We welcome feedback and discussion in the comments below!

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/6329982 "I can see that one of my friends is apparently watching a ton of cheesy, soft porn stuff," a user said of Plex's Week in Review email and Discover Together feature. Many Plex users were alarmed when they got a “week in review” email last week that showed them what they and their friends had watched on the popular media server software. Some users are saying that their friends’ softcore porn habits are being revealed to them with the feature, while others are horrified by the potentially invasive nature feature more broadly. Plex is a hybrid streaming service/self-hosted media server. In addition to offering content that Plex itself has licensed, the service allows users to essentially roll their own streaming service by making locally downloaded files available to stream over the internet to devices the server admin owns. You can also “friend” people on Plex and give them access to your own server. A new feature, called “Discover Together,” expands social aspects of Plex and introduces an “Activity” tab: “See what your friends have watched, rated, added to their Watchlist, or shared with you,” Plex notes. It also shares this activity in a “week in review” email that it sent to Plex users and people who have access to their servers. This has greatly alarmed a wide swatch of Plex’s user base, who have blown up the Plex forums, the Discover Together blog post comment section, and Reddit with posts about disastrous overshares created by the feature. A sampling of posts: “Discover Together and Week in Review emails are a MASSIVE breach of privacy and trust!,” “Security breach: Why is my friend receiving notifications to rate movies I’ve watched?,” “Weekly review emails data leak,” “Plex crossed a line with ‘Your week in review’ emails today.’” The feature is opt-out, meaning that many people were very surprised to get these emails and see this feature, as it’s up to users to proactively turn it off (instructions here and here). “I can see that one of my friends is apparently watching a ton of cheesy, soft porn stuff (think classic ‘skinemax’ fare) from some server (it’s not mine) or Plex channel, and I am 100 percent sure they would be mortified to know that I know this,” one user wrote on the Plex Forums. “Now replace this friend, who’s just enjoying their downtime with some cheeky T&A, with a teenager who may be having difficulty figuring out feelings about their sexuality and are just trying to explore by watching LBGT dramas to see if anything there resonates or can help them figure things out. Suddenly, one of their intolerant friends or parents gets a detailed email report with a cheery title listing every little thing they’re watching…This is a dystopian nightmare of a feature and I honestly can’t believe it’s been rolled out as opt-out like this. SHAME ON YOU, PLEX!” “I wonder how many people just had their week’s porn selections emailed to their Plex friends,” another user posted. “I just got an email about a friend’s watching habits which he definitely didn’t want to share. He insists he’s never opted into any data sharing, but…it went out anyway.” “I’m sure there’s a certain percentage of people who want to know what kind of porn their grandma likes, but I’m hoping it’s not the majority,” another posted. Otto Kerner, who is a moderator of the official Plex forums, said that porn viewing habits would only be shared if Plex can make a “match” of the media with online databases like IMDb. “Many pr0n titles are either not listed there at all [sic],” Kerner wrote. It’s worth noting, however, that there are many adult titles on IMDb. There are hundreds of posts about the issue on the official Plex forums, many of which point out that many Plex users chose to use the service in the first place because it is a “self-hosted” alternative to streaming that many people go into believing they will have more control and privacy than is offered by Hulu, Netflix, and other streaming services. Plex is also used by many users to play and stream files that they have illegally pirated (the ability to do this is largely behind the initial popularity of Plex), though the company has been trying to move away from the perception that most people are using it to play pirated content. “The fact that this data is available to you AT ALL … That is just … Mind boggling, and completely against the very notion of self hosting,” one user wrote. “I feel betrayed that was done without telling me that this data was going to be collected. Let alone acted upon. It’s dangerous. Certain entities would LOVE to have that data…which could mean jail time for some.” “The ‘See what your friends are watching’ will be great for all the people with secret porn libraries. Or when you start watching a Jan 6th documentary, and you see Aunt Becky start commenting about it being part of a satanic conspiracy,” a commenter on Plex’s blog post announcing the feature wrote. “I can also say that not one person I have talked to has ever liked the idea that I can see what they're watching from my server.” Plex did not respond to requests for comment sent from 404 Media. Plex employees have been posting regularly in the forums explaining that people can opt out of the data sharing, and have also said media watch “sync events,” which it uses to track viewing history, do not tell the company the nature of the file played: “There is no way to know whether something being ‘watched’ occurred because you went and saw it at the theater and then marked it on the Discover page when you got home, you watched through a personal Plex Media Server Library, or anything else.”

I just saw they have a deal running again in case anyone was looking to upgrade. Code: FUZZYFRIDAY 

From a given show Plex allows you to search for a subtitles off of OpenSubtitles (the .org I guess?), but many (all?) contain spam messages within the texts. Does anyone else experience this? OK I found a [subtitle spam cleaner ](https://github.com/KBlixt/subcleaner)- now how can this integrate with Plex or do I have to setup Bazarr...

For some songs and artists plex doubles the title or name and puts a semi-colon with it. I can not figure out why from the file or naming it is doing this. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks

My brother who is using my plex account at his home and not on my network and he received this error. Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned?

Hey guys, I’ve never used Plex before but am looking to set up a server this week for me and my family as streaming bills are getting out of control. I have a small library of legally acquired media that will work as a good test before I go sailing for the rest. I have a Thinkserver TD340 desktop with dual xeons and space for many hard drives that I was going to use simply due to its HDD capacity (12c24t combined and 64gb RAM) However they’re sandy bridge Xeon’s and not very power efficient. However I can put a Quadro P2000 GPU in it for hardware accelerated transcoding The other idea I have is I have access to an HP SFF PC with an i5 8400T and a few external hard drive mounts I could plug into power in the wall and USB to the PC This is smaller and saves power but forgoes GPU acceleration leaving me with only Intel UHD 630 graphics. It’s also only 6 cores/threads but they are much faster. I also want whichever system I use to run pi-hole for DNS level ad blocking. But that’s very light and shouldn’t be an issue to run at the same time. Am I overthinking this? I have access to both systems. Which would be best. At most maybe 3 people would be accessing it at once. Across iPhones, smart TVs etc

Lately my episode guide is showing episode titles, but not the show name. This isn't all that useful and I'd prefer the old behavior. Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a setting to fix it?

It’s frustrating that the artist list doesn’t have all of the alphabet. Mine only goes A-L for example. This might be a CarPlay side limitation but either way it’s not great. If I wanted to play Warren Zevon I can only do it from my phone.

Hello, For context I have ran 2 Plex servers off of one network for 6+ years with no issues but as of a couple days ago I have had this issue with no change from my end. Does anyone have a work around for this other than contacting my ISP witch Plex talks about when I hit learn more. Has anyone seen this issue before. Thanks

Sorry, don't mean to beat a dead horse but what's the best currently available Plex client all things considered?

I think I have quite a few items in my library with both a 720p and 1080p version stored on disk. I'd like to find them but can't figure out how to do that through the interface. Is there a way? The closest I found was creating a collection where "Episode Duplicate" is true - but that is still like finding a needle in a haystack. I have to click through seasons, look at each episode's info and see if theres' two files. I know there's a sqlite database com.plexapp.plugins.library.db but I can't figure out where in there I'd find that info.

I love clicking through the cast of movies but I wish I could do the same the creators of movies/shows.

I run a Plex server on in a Docker container on a Linux machine in my house on a Verizon FiOS internet connection. I've shared my library with many people and no one has a problem. Except one person who uses optimum.net as their service provider. When in their house I can't direct connect to my Plex server, and everything gets sent through at 1mbps, I assume relayed through Plex. I have a Tailscale mesh VPN setup for myself. I installed Tailscale on the "Chromecast with Google TV" Android app and connected it to my VPN. I set it up to route all traffic through the VPN using the same physical server that runs Plex as it's Exit Node. When this is enabled, everything works fine. What could be causing this. Another odd artifact of this set up - while connected to the optimum.net network I can't even make simple HTTPS requests to a web server running in another Docker container on the same Linux machine as Plex. The request appears to never even make it to the server.

I’ve swipped left/right, I’ve long clicked, and I’ve check menus and I don’t see how to delete.

We both setup servers at about the same time a few years ago and shared with each other. I’m sure once the dust settles someone will pull the he plug on his server and it’ll be offline for good. Watching School Of Rock on his server one more time while I can. Edit: his server is officially offline now. Rest in peace.

About a year and a half ago I [posted a script I made](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/tb0acn/i_made_a_thing_a_python_script_to_delete_old/) for deleting movie content in your library not being watched. Folks really seemed to like it, and I still get comments on that thread every so often. So I've updated it! Far and away, the two biggest requests I got were: - Make it do TV, too - Make a dry-run mode The code is now available on github here: https://github.com/ASK-ME-ABOUT-LOOM/purgeomatic Even better, no installation is required. You can run it as a docker container like so: docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py It now supports TV series as well. Thanks to a suggestion from /u/JimLahey-, I was able to get my head around the idea - I had always thought of managing TV shows as "collections of seasons" of media, but the reality is, if nobody has watched _anything_ related to a TV show in a while, the whole thing can go! And that's what this does: docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.tv.unwatched.py No more editing python, either. Create yourself a [.env](https://github.com/ASK-ME-ABOUT-LOOM/purgeomatic/blob/main/.env.example) file, set up all of your config, and even enable dry run mode, so you can test to your heart's content: $ docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py DRY_RUN enabled! -------------------------------------- 2023-08-25T12:40:57.288608 DRY RUN: Chaos Walking | Radarr ID: 1445 | TMDB ID: 412656 DRY RUN: Captain Marvel | Radarr ID: 885 | TMDB ID: 299537 DRY RUN: Captain America: Civil War | Radarr ID: 1768 | TMDB ID: 271110 DRY RUN: Black Widow | Radarr ID: 1517 | TMDB ID: 497698 DRY RUN: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) | Radarr ID: 1092 | TMDB ID: 495764 DRY RUN: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure | Radarr ID: 1777 | TMDB ID: 1648 DRY RUN: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey | Radarr ID: 1778 | TMDB ID: 1649 DRY RUN: Big Hero 6 | Radarr ID: 71 | TMDB ID: 177572 DRY RUN: Big | Radarr ID: 71 | TMDB ID: 177572 DRY RUN: Batman Begins | Radarr ID: 1745 | TMDB ID: 272 DRY RUN: Assault on Precinct 13 | Radarr ID: 1212 | TMDB ID: 17814 DRY RUN: 21 Jump Street | Radarr ID: 1096 | TMDB ID: 64688 Total space reclaimed: 164.88GB Good luck!

Remote Access status on my Plex server says it's "Not available outside your network." However, the couple of people I currently share my server with have no issues accessing it, I've verified port forwarding settings, I just loaded up the Plex app on my phone (wifi off, on cellular) and everything loads up fine. If I hit the "Retry" button next to the public port, it'll do the connection test and show that my server is indeed accessible from outside my network. But then, usually anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, it'll change back to showing it's unavailable. Since remote access doesn't actually seem to be unavailable, I guess it's not a huge deal. Just kinda bugs me. Server version is up-to-date according to the status page (Version 1.32.5.7349) - anyone else on this version noticing this issue?

So I have a kind of interesting situation going on here. I recently replaced my gaming rig's 2080 with a 4070ti that I picked up at a good price. Then, I put the 2080 into my home server and got it up and running with plex. Now, it has always been my intent to put that 2080 into a computer for my fiancee after we get married sometime in the next year. So, that leaves me with a conundrum: when I pull the 2080 out, I'll need a decent GPU to replace it with for the plex server to help with transcoding. That's why I'm here What GPUs should I look at? I don't want to break the bank and would prefer to stay under $600 when I do this, if possible. I'm not getting a Titan X which I keep seeing recommended, I can't even get one of those for my own gaming rig let alone for a plex server that only we and a couple of friends use. I'd like something that can run up to 4 4K transcodes at once- I don't think we'll ever get more than that running at any given time since most of the use this server gets is in the same house via direct play, no transcoding needed. Any suggestions?

We apologize to the community for not including Plexamp releases posts here. It was a simple oversight and not an intentional exclusion. Future Plexamp releases will be posted here. We will also be adding Plexamp and relevant links to the relevant guides in the sidebar over the next day or so.

## The Main Question I am looking into updating/upgrading my home media server using some old hardware from my main PC, and I would like some advice on Operating Systems. I have used **Windows 10** for the life of this server, and I do not know if that would be the best choice for the future. My main use case is a **Plex Media Server with Remote Access and Hardware Acceleration**, but I would also like to self-host a few items, including **NextCloud** and **possibly Bitwarden**. I have looked into **TrueNAS CORE** a bit, but I am uncertain how it would handle these Plex features. Regarding Remote Access, [Plex says](https://support.plex.tv/articles/115002178853-using-hardware-accelerated-streaming/) that it requires > 64-bit Ubuntu (16.04 or later) or 64-bit Fedora (26 or later) distributions and that > Compatible FreeBSD servers require Plex Media Server 1.13.9 or newer Plex also says that other distributions may work with hardware acceleration, but they are not officially supported. They give [a list of supported NAS devices](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MfYoJkiwSqCXg8cm5-Ac4oOLPRtCkgUxU0jdj3tmMPc/), but they do not mention installing TrueNAS on your own hardware. My experience with Linux kernel OS's is relatively limited. I had to use Ubuntu for university, and I have used ZorinOS and Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS at various points. I am familiar with the terminal, but I am by no means an expert. ## A Few Lists ### Why am I considering moving from Windows 10? * Tired of unstoppable automatic updates causing unexpected downtime * Interested in potentially less resource-hungry OS's * Would like to use an OS more suited for a home media server, if possible ### What is my current hardware? * HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF * CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 * RAM: 8 GB * Storage: 500 GB OS Drive, 6 TB Seagate External (STKP6000400) ### What is my planned hardware? * Motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX * CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 * RAM: 8 GB DDR4-2133 (only have 2 RAM slots) * Storage: 500 GB OS Drive, 1 TB Internal, maybe the old 500 GB Internal, 6 TB Seagate External * Still need a case and a power supply * I will either purchase new ones for my main PC and use those for this, or I will purchase new ones for this purpose. * As a note, my current main PC case can fit 3 internal hard drives. ### A couple of random points * The Pentium G4560 has a slightly lower benchmark than the i5-3470. However, it is 5 years newer. Both CPU's support Intel Quick Sync Video. Would the newer G4560 still perform better for Plex despite having slightly lower benchmarks, or would it ultimately be a wash? * I feel like using the 6 TB Seagate as an Internal drive would allow it access to a more reliable power supply and a faster data connection. Do any of you have experience shucking this model? Would it even be worth it, with the access to a USB 3.1 port that I would have with the planned hardware? A quick search tells me that it may be SMR, but I am already using it as my primary media drive so I am not certain if this would affect shucking any. * I would very much like a more automated method of backing up specific folders on the 6 TB drive to either the internal drives or my two 2 TB Seagate external drives that I use for backups. On your suggested OS, do you have a preferred software/script for this?

I *might* be a little OCD about all this, but sometimes when I browse my Plex I notice that Plex changes the artwork of my film collection. This is quite annoying. Is there an option to tick somewhere to restrict Plex from doing this?

I share my server with a few handful of family members and friends and it just feels really nice watching the dashboard when someone streams content from you.

As you may know, Lemmy.world has decided to ban any communities that deal with the subjects of piracy. Considering that this sub might be considered piracy-*adjacent*, I'd like to make it clear that discussing the subject directly is not allowed, nor is requesting/offering Plex shares in posts or comments. This is a community for discussing Plex products, serivices, add-ons, etc. and getting adivce and support or those apps/services. It's not a place to discuss piracy. I understand this is a fine line to walk and requires a certain amount of compartmentalization in our discussions, but it's what keeps our discussions from becoming legally problematic (depending on your jurisdiction) for our instance hosts and keeps our community federated with and visible to as many users as possible!
