Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post :::

We have an important update to share - we're going to be rebranding!
That's right, the time has come for us to say goodbye to the Plex Meta Manager name and introduce a new brand identity.
Whilst this may seem out of the blue, it is something we have been considering for nearly a year - in order to future-proof, it is important that we disassociate ourselves from the "Plex" trademark.
Rest assured, the functionality of the tool remains unchanged; only the name will be different.
We value the input of our users and invite you to help us decide our new name. We've included a Google Form link for your submissions. Feel free to think outside the box, but please ensure your suggestions respect existing trademarks, are practical and make sense for the product. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday April 9th at 12:00 pm EDT
Additionally, be prepared for future updates, such as the retirement of the current docker image and the introduction of a new one, or any necessary configuration changes to reflect the new branding - we will send out further updates when we have more to share on this.
Thank you for your understanding and participation in this exciting phase of our journey!
This is something I've been trying to do reliably for years. I can stream anything I want easily with VLC or even just Chrome itself but I can't get subs to work. I was able to make it work for a long time using a Chrome app called "videostream" but it now no longer works correctly on my system. It's a bit confusing to me but it kind of looks from what I have read that Plex can apparently handle this? Most references to the idea seem to be for later chromecast versions but mine's a 1st gen I bought in 2014. Could I use Plex to stream local media with separate or embedded srt files to my chromecast ?
Over night, Plex has decided that it can't see any of my library files for movies and TV shows. They were fine before, they have been for years. Only music is unaffected.
I get a message saying "movies is empty. Expecting more? Visit the manage libraries page"
I've tried creating a new library pointing to the same directory, but that one shows the same error in the end.
Had a look on the forums, but not found anything relevant

Plex has no plans to create apps for the Quest or the Apple Vision Pro, and now its existing VR apps are losing official support.
In January and February I had curated some playlists and shared them with friends and we watched them together via Watch Together. There was previously an option to Grant Access to the playlist, and after granting access, you could click Watch Together and start a watch party.
However, sometime in the last few weeks this option has disappeared in playlists, and now I am restricted to granting access, but not being able to watch together.
Really the only people who have access to my server is my partner and three friends. This has been a huge bummer, because I was curating old shows complete with old commercials in between.
If anyone has info on why this changed, I'd love to have an understanding, because the change kind of blows...
Hello!
Here is my current setup and what I am looking for from my next one:
Currently have a Nvdia Shield with a 4 and 8 TB HDDs attached to it directly. So far this has worked well for 2-3 remote streams of 1080p content.
I’m looking to upgrade to a Beelink off Amazon which would allow 3-4 4K streams and a HD enclosure that would allow me to attach my external HDDs and start a NAS. Please advise on how to proceed from here.
I have a few shows like the Daily Show I'll sometimes watch the monologue but not the full episode.
Plex has a setting to "Keep unwatched episodes" which will delete never-watched episodes, and another to "delete X days after viewing" for fully-watched episodes. But if an episode is partially watched, neither applies and it just sits there.
This seems like a weird oversight and I am wondering if there's a setting I'm missing. I can't be the first person who wants "delete 7 days after adding regardless of anything else"
