Very fun for them to lock a thread when people are complaining about the lifetime pass increase to 750 dollars... Get yourself the cheapest raspberry pi and host a jellyfin server for less than 50.
Noticed these new full page ads on my home screen, but there is no way to delete them. Has anyone found a setting for this?
Plex pass on Android app.
Why is this the case? Why did we only get a single day to talk about some of the biggest news from this company so far this year? Why are we scared that there's going to be a lot of negativity?
My shield pro 2017 version is trans coding video and audio when playing a movie with EAC3 5.1 plus atmos, however same movie plays direct play with my fire tv cube 2nd gen and my apple tv. I checked settings and its on audio pass through HDMI. available formats i set on audio and here and there i play with selecting each manually i still get trans coding video and audio. Any ideas? thank you.
The biggest structural addition since 2.0. There is now a free account system shared across the site. Sign in and your badge presets, named configs, custom fonts, and lab preferences follow you across devices automatically. Server connection details live in your account too, so setting up on a second machine is just sign in and go and fully secured through clerk, no more browser based api key or credential saving.
The Pro tier unlocks the server integrations and additional font/separator uploads (30 day free trial). The core design tools stay free.
Poster Lab now has a proper badge system with three independent slots:
All three render together on the canvas. There are 38+ styles across the categories and the whole panel collapses in the sidebar until you need it. Size is a continuous slider rather than small/medium/large presets. Named presets let you save combinations like "4K + DV + Atmos" and switch between them in one click from both the sidebar and the Quick Edit Bar.
Two new overlays added to Poster Lab.
Dark Matte this one is a big favorite around here, now anyone can make them with ease!
Criterion Spine is a full recreation of the Criterion Collection format with four independent colour pickers for the logo, spine box, year box, and font. It pulls the release year from metadata automatically.
Both labs now connect directly to your media server. The Emby and Jellyfin integration gives you a browsable library dashboard with genre, quality, and filter controls, grid and list view, and bulk selection. You can load existing artwork from the server onto the canvas and push replacements back without touching the server interface.
Poster Lab also has a Quality Rules system that auto-applies badge presets based on media flags. Just set the preference in the emby dashboard and when you open a 4K Dolby Vision title from Emby the right badges are already configured, wont pull badges in unless you enable this preset option.
Emby and Jellyfin both use the same connection settings in account but you can toggle the theme to your preference based on what server you have. Note: Server must be behind a reverse proxy/tailscale funnel etc to be accessed.
Plex support landed recently with the same browsing, loading, and push capability. The connection flow is:
No token hunting, no URL copying.
A few things worth calling out specifically for Card Lab:
The network logo controls now have a nine-point anchor grid. Pick any corner, edge, or centre position and offset from there with sliders. Placements save as named presets that sync alongside your badge presets and season label presets.
Lastly but not least, the site now has a Feature request page to be able to easy suggest new features, changes, vote for existing requests etc with updates on progress.
As usual the site can be found here: postertools.org
My plex server is shared mostly with family members, half cannot read English, but the other half can read English only. A lot of my non-English contents are in English title. Is there a way for a user to see the titles in a different language?
Subscribed monthly for over 3 years, with intent to buy lifetime. Kept missing every discount offer by days. Would see people obtaining discount codes by emailing them. Obviously not a one shoe fits all situation as I emailed 3 times within a day or two of promos requesting a discount code and was denied.
Made the decision two weeks ago and eye the socials like a hawk for a couple of months to snap up a lifetime sub, but at this new price not even a 75% off deal would entice (would still be 190usd.)
You'd think as long term subscribers they'd offer up some deals on occasion, but why shut down the money cow.
So I've just cancelled. So long. Jellyfin guys, if your listening, I'd happily support a donations for some specific features if you were to create some system for community votes and feature implementation.
The price gouging needs to stop at some point.
Mes sous titres sont parfois blanc ( par défaut) parfois jaune ( comme demandé sur PLEX )
Pouvez vous m’aider à les avoir toujours jaune et en grand format
Merci

I have not used plex in a while. My internet speed is fast as well and it’s also located in my bedroom. Am I supposed to hardwire an Ethernet cable from my router to my Mac mini (where I load it plex from) or an Ethernet cable to my tv? Files aren’t corrupt or anything just get fairly consistent buffering. I understand it’s likely due to them being 4k or 60gb+ files but I can’t think of the fix other than what I mentioned. Would have to buy some cables if that’s the case.
I have the list 🦜🏴☠️ of the sites I need and proton install maybe I ll use tor for browser
I created a plex server and have been adding media to it for the last 6 months or so. I gave my parents access because I thought they would want a free option other than $100 dollars a month that they are spending on streaming services. My wife is also using it a ton. My mom never really jumped on and my dad thought it was cool and used it and so did my wife. However recently my parents decided they didn’t want to use it anymore since they feel it’s not legal. They have now started coming after my wife and I with the whole it’s a sin argument and my wife now doesn’t think I should run it either.
This all started because I wanted to do something nice for my family and now they are throwing it in my face. Now I might have to delete the whole thing and have nothing but YouTube. There is 0 chance of me paying for that stuff again. I will not be helping billionaires buy their 3rd yacht or private jet.
Edit: I don’t want to slander or bash Christianity here. I do consider myself a Christian and so does my wife but our understanding about what’s a sin is slightly different. Even if it is a sin I think it equates to something like speeding 5 over. Which technically is also a sin by that same point.
Plex though most of my anime should be in "arcane". just 67 seasons of arcane . so i tried to remove the collection and it just deleted everything.
it will be Joyful to check 800+ anime and fill gaps . fuck my life
My apologies if i am posting this in the incorrect place. I am looking for some help/advice on a small Plex media server build. I'll be using it for storing a library of video files, and will need it to support a maximum of 1-2 external streams at once at 1080p. I'll also be using the server to stream on the same network at 4k.
I've been looking at buying a low power mini PC, and attaching a large external hard drive. I was originally looking at N95/N100 mini PCs, but have also seen Ryzen 3500U versions for slightly more money. The Ryzen ones seem more powerful, but lack Intel hardware-accelerated transcoding (from my basic research).
Could anyone advise if an N95/100 mini PC would be sufficient for my needs, or if there is a better alternative for the price and energy efficiency?
Could anyone help me out with why this is happening?
For months now (at least since this season started), Plex has been using 100% CPU while doing some sort of scan of the files within this folder ..
I've disabled all form of "scan audio", "identify volumes" etc. etc.
Still, after a reboot and some hours, the scanner finds itself stuck here..
A bit of context:
Unraid with binhex-plexpass docker
Looking for advice as I'm about to rip over 4,000 DVDs onto a server.
This will be my first server so I'm trying to get the equipment right from the start.
Currently I'm considering:
Fractal Design - Define 7 XL E-ATX tower - $255
ASUS TUF Gaming B760 LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard - $140
Intel Core I5 14500 14th Gen Processor $520
Patriot P410 SSD 2TB PCIE for the OS $260
Noctua NH-D15 fans $140
WD Red Pro 18TB HDDs for the movies $564; ill have 4 of these
Asrock Pro Series 750w Power Supply $60
32GB Ram DDR5
Anything that stands out as a mistake; anything you'd swap out?
Plan to run this on Unraid OS
