I woke up one day a month ago and suddenly I could no longer open PMS in a normal Firefox browser. I made no new significant updates I know of. I have spent hours and hours and days and weeks trying every suggestion give me by Gemini. Nothing works. I can access PMS via Private Browsing only.

My setup:

• Windows 10 (final version)
• PMS 1.43.1.10611
• Firefox version 152.0.4 (64-bit)
• Eero router
• Express VPN 14.1.1 (Build 13156)

Has anyone encountered this with Firefox Normal suddenly not working with Plex? When private browsing DOES work?

Anyone have a server? The one I’ve been using went under recently.. i was paying him for it. Any help is great.

Hello guys !

I spent some time looking for the most accurate answers, unfortunately, I haven’t found the exact same case as me so let’s hope you can help me, fellow users and experts of OLED !

I just received my new C5 and jeez, coming from an old TCL, it is definitely something

I set up everything with :
- PS5 pro
- PC using Aurora / Moonlight to stream video games from my PC (works perfectly, just need to plug it with Ethernet)
- Plex server with the WebOs App to watch 4K movies/series

I don’t have speakers yet, I’m not really familiar with the technical side of TV and everything related to it

I read Apple TV is good, shield pro is good but I was wondering :

Why are they so good ? Is it really an enhancement regarding video quality compared to the TV itself and its applications, for example Plex ?

I’d say I’m looking for the easiest / good looking way to have the perfect setup to watch 4K / Remuxes on my TV

And also, try to add some speakers to it without spending 1-2k$ on it so if you have any recommendations also ? I’m in an apartment, main room is 25m2, nothing to loud is necessary

Thanks a lot for your help !

Has anybody gotten the personal media to work on the Amazon Fire Stick 4k Select? I've tried everything I've read about online, and I know this is the worst fire stick, it was free. I've just rearranged devices in house when I got it but am super bummed that I can't my personal media to work in my bedroom. When I hold the select button on the remote on the "my media" it shows my server but says offline, which any other device plays no problem.

If anybody has fixed this issue, I would certainly be grateful for any advice.

Thumbnail, Title, Year -> but can you modify this to also add content rating?

Is it possible to display the rating next to the year in your library? See how you have the thumbnail, title below, and the year; is there a mod or a setting that can add the year to the title so it will look like 'American Pie /n 2007 (PG-13)'? would make it so much easier to find movies suitable to watch with my kids

Thanks!

I have been Plexing for about three years now and my DVD reader is no longer reliable so I’m in the market for a new one, I’m not sure if the machine was on the way out already but a lot of Disney Blu-ray DVDs weren’t scanning and the disks physically were fine. I realize this could also be a software issue, but I don’t know the depths of how all this works (go easy on me I’m just curious).

Is there a DVD drive that’s best for uploading movies or one you prefer, I have a couple of 4k DVD options should I get a UHD Drive or just settle with Blu-ray? Also is there a better more reliable software than MakeMKV, let me know.

I am running off a MacBook M4 Max, uploading to a 48 TB NAS, and usually use MakeMKV & Handbrake

Had a show on my plex that I started tonight and there was a narrator talking through the actions of the characters.

“Fatima crosses the kitchen to the sink” as Fatima walks across the kitchen. She talks to the other character and they have a conversation as normal then “Fatima walks to table and sits down”

This is verbal, not subtitled. Anyone else seen this?

Hi all,

I realise there will be bits of this throughout all this information but i really need some help. I've been trying to find answers to these questions for over 3 weeks now and i can't understand half of what I'm reading.

A few years ago i purchased a WD NAS (My cloud duo) and it ran with Plex so i could use its media server to build a library of stuff for me and my kids to watch at home.

Over the years its had its odd issues but I've always managed to figure it out and get it up and running again.

Apart from this time. This time I've started from scratch and i still can't get it to work.

Does my WD NAS still support plex? when i delete everything and start again, it prompts me to configure and it diverts to plex and says 'getting ready' and stays at that point forever.

is there an issue with plex itself? I've tried to put the Plex media server on 4 different PCs in my house but when i try to use it it just says i need to install plex media server.....i did.....i clicked finish and run to get to this point. its like it doesn't recognise its own software anymore.

i really need help with this, does anyone know how to get this working and failing that if there is an alternate piece of software that is compatible with my WD NAS which will effectively have the same result? (I'm not particularly computer Savvy so any help and instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance :-)

Good morning all (depending on your timezone i guess). Join me in welcoming our new mod /u/optipr. He is also the mod for /r/usenet.

A self-hosted web dashboard for tracking and managing watch history across multiple users. Browse your libraries, see per-user watch progress, filter by genre or completion status, and automatically delete watched media after a configurable grace period.

Release Notes — June 21–28, 2026

Everything below applies to both the Plex and Jellyfin builds unless a section or bullet is tagged (Plex only).

New stuff

Added a Recently Added section to the home page, sidebar, and its own "See All" page. Shows new movies and series (not individual episodes) so you can get to user assignments faster. It tracks when a title was first seen rather than relying on Plex's timestamp, so quality upgrades and new episode drops don't keep bumping things back to the top. Default window is 30 days, configurable in settings. Once you save or clear an assignment, the title falls off the list automatically.

Also added "See All" pages for Recently Watched — clicking through now gives you up to 100 items instead of the handful that fit on the home screen.

Security

A few things that should have been caught sooner:

• Proxy header trust is off by default. X-Forwarded-For was being trusted blindly, which on a direct HTTP setup means anyone can set it to whatever they want — spoofing IPs against the login rate limiter or muddying the audit log. Now you have to explicitly opt in with TRUSTED_PROXY_HOPS.
• XSS fix in attributes. A quote in a movie title or username could break out of an HTML attribute. Everything going into attributes is properly escaped now.
• Login no longer leaks valid usernames. Timing differences between "user doesn't exist" and "wrong password" were distinguishable. The check now runs the same bcrypt comparison either way, against a throwaway hash when there's no admin yet.
• Audit log entries strip control characters, bad request bodies don't blow up the login path anymore, and the standard security headers are in place (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
• Replaced bare except: with except Exception: throughout — Ctrl-C was getting swallowed.

Performance

• Config is cached. config.json was being re-parsed on every single request. It's cached now and only reloads when the file actually changes on disk.
• HTTP session reuse. Requests to the media server now share one session instead of doing a fresh TLS handshake every time. Makes a meaningful difference since the servers aren't local.
• SQLite locking. Tuned the database settings — WAL mode, 30-second busy timeout, relaxed fsync. Background sweeps and web requests were stepping on each other more than they needed to.

Bug fixes

• Accidental season deletion is gone. An empty episode list response used to trigger auto-delete. If the server hiccuped and returned nothing, files would get wiped for no reason. Now you get an empty state with an explicit delete button that requires confirmation.
• Auto-delete badge was lying. A show with auto-delete enabled showed green "Auto-delete: ON" even when the global toggle was off. It now correctly shows "Paused (global off)" and hides the "Run sweep now" button when it wouldn't actually do anything. Per-show settings are preserved and kick back in when the global toggle is re-enabled.

Managed-user sweep & debugging (Plex only)

The sweep is off by default (interval is 0). It works in theory, but most servers — especially seedbox-hosted ones — reject the tokens that get minted, so it was just burning API calls and database writes for nothing. The on-demand debug endpoint is still there if you want to test your setup.

On the token side: proper client identifiers and product headers are now sent, the legacy XML endpoint is tried first (it returns tokens the server actually accepts), falling back to v2 if needed, with a brief pause between cold mints to avoid getting rate-limited by plex.tv. The server's token list also gets refreshed before each sweep.

Token minting now logs the HTTP status, which endpoint it hit, and a response snippet — so when a mint fails, you actually know what plex.tv said.

Debugging

• Per-item webhook events. New endpoint to pull webhook events for a specific item, which makes it a lot easier to figure out why something is or isn't getting marked watched. Jellyfin already had this; Plex caught up this week.
• Errors go to the logs. Unhandled exceptions now print to stderr with a full traceback so they actually show up in container logs.

Docs & housekeeping

• Documented TRUSTED_PROXY_HOPS in the README.
• (Plex only) Wrote up the known gap where a managed user manually marking something watched on their end can't be detected through any Plex signal.
• Added a note that the media servers are remote, not LAN, so the codebase stops reaching for fixes that assume local network access.
• Cleaned up the project rules.

I have looked at scripts and PlexDeDupe, but it's comparing my 4k library to other moves from what I can see. I would prefer my libraries stay seperate but delete accidental duplicates.

EDIT: I AM WORKING ON A SCRIPT CURRENTLY THAT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD.
IF ANYONE NEEDS A COPY, LET ME KNOW.

I just wanted to watch Berserk bruh. I think I downloaded a server on my computer but idk what I’m supposed to do now

Existe t il une liste des arr avec leur fonction ?
Merci

I don't currently have a description in the sidebar and will be adding one soon. What do we want this sub to be about? Is it for showcasing new apps, discussions of Plex issues etc. Do we want to allow random videos and gifs related to Plex or not even Plex related? Let me know your thoughts.

I've also been thinking of setting up a Discord channel for this. Thoughts on this?

I have a TV series that Plex refuses to display in the library.

A British TV series from earlier this year called 'Alice and Steve' consists of a single season of six episodes. Each episode is about half an hour long. I used the same folder structure I've used for other TV Series:

<Program Name (2026)>
|_Season 01 (2026)
|_<Program Name - S01E01 (Episode Title)>.mkv
|_<Program Name - S01E02 (Episode Title)>.mkv
|_<Program Name - S01E03 (Episode Title)>.mkv
|_<Program Name - S01E04 (Episode Title)>.mkv
|_<Program Name - S01E05 (Episode Title)>.mkv
|_<Program Name - S01E06 (Episode Title)>.mkv

This is stored in my 'TV Stuff' folder on my Synology NAS, along with other folders of TV shows that Plex shows correctly in the library and allows me to select and play, as should be normal. For this show, however, once the file transfer into the library folder is complete, Plex doesn't update to show the content in the way that it does for every other series. I can click on the library header in the home panel and request it to 'Scan Library Files' and see the orange swirl 'busy' indicator around the Activity icon at top right, but the folder never appears. I've added other shows and episodes after this one and they all appear in the library as normal following the scan.

By default, I have the library display as 'TV Shows', in the order of 'By Last Episode Date Added' so I can see newly added shows and episodes and, until this particular series, it all worked well. (I have to manually select the 'Scan Library Files' before newly added shows will display, whereas some time ago, I'm sure they used to appear automatically as Plex detected an addition to the library. This is currently how the Movie library works, but those files are stored on the same NAS volume as the Plex app is located, on a different volume on a different NAS box to the TV Show. I've put that minor inconvenience down to the different volume location or to some subtle feature I overlooked in one of the previous updates to the Plex server app and I mention it here for the sake of completeness).

If I change the display option to show my TV library by folder, I can see the top-level folder for the show itself, and the subfolder 'Season 01 (2026)' underneath it, but when I click on the subfolder, I get the message 'Empty Folder. There are no items in this folder'. Similar subfolders for other shows in the library display their contents, with a thumbnail, episode name, Season number, running time and a short description of the episode for each file in the folder.

The episode files themselves are perfectly visible in the Windows 11 File Explorer when I drill down to the folder on the NAS and will play normally in any Windows video player that I tried.

I thought there must be something wrong with the files I'd downloaded, so I moved them from the NAS Server and downloaded a fresh set from a different source. The first set were 1080p HEVC MKV files, encoded with a bitrate of about 1.3 mb/s and ran to just less than 300Mb per episode. The second set, from a different source, were also 1080p MKV files, but AVC encoded with a bitrate of around 6 mb/s and ran to about 1.2Gb per episode. Both profiles are not unusual for the other programs in the library. Both give very similar results in the Windows-based player, whether they're run from the NAS folder or from my PC's local HDD. The new folder, however, when copied to the NAS server folder following the same naming convention as above, are not recognised or displayed by the Plex server app - v 4.159.0 running on a Synology NAS, if it's relevant, and behaving well in all other aspects. I have a lifetime Plex Pass.

The folder and filenames I've chosen agree with the listing for the show on both IMDB and THETVDB.com. Out of desperation, I even tried changing the word 'and' for an ampersand and rescanning the library, but the whole show continues to remain invisible. There's another similarly named show called 'Alice & Jack' from 2024 that's in the same folder list. Thinking Please might somehow be confusing and conflating the two, I moved it from the NAS volume to my local HDD and re-scanned the library. 'Alice & Jack' disappeared as the scan progressed but nothing appeared to replace it. Moving 'Alice & Jack' back to the NAS volume and re-scanning made it reappear in the library as normal.

That's it. I'm stumped!

Can anyone think of anything I might have overlooked that I'm doing wrong or suggest a tweak that might get this folder to display correctly? My head is a little sore at this point from scratching it. (If it's something staring-me-in-the-face obvious and I've missed it, please be gentle with me)

Thanks for reading this far.

Steve
