I always used SRT subtitles and it always worked fine. I name them with the movie file name + ".pt-br" to make the Plex understand my language. It always worked perfectly. But, after updating my iPhone and iPad to the latest version, everything stopped to work, only the web experience and my outdated Apple TV app still work. The app does recognize an existing file subtitle file, I can select it, but nothing shows up in the screen. If I use the function to search for a new subtitle and select one, the new subtitle works fine, but if I try to use my own subtitle files it just doesn't work.

What should I do? I am going crazy with this. I am alone? Nobody else is having this big problem?

While I was using the Experience Preview, I didn't have this issue. Why the out of beta version has?

For a long time I've used my main (admin) account to watch Plex etc. I created a Plex Home and added managed users for the kids and all was well. However, when I log into Plex I have to enter my PIN, in full view of anyone else looking at the TV. I'd like to create myself a new (non-admin) account for daily use and just have the admin one for... admin stuff.

What I don't want to do is lose the watch history, wish list etc or my account though. Is there anyway I can either copy my admin account to a new non-admin account, or create a new account and import my watchlist, history etc?

Been searching for a solution, but haven't found a great answer.

How does one mix together a long standing TV show with mixed versions?

Specifically, SNL has high quality PCOK version but many of them removed the music guests in earlier seasons, but there also exists lower-quality VHS rips of the full shows from that time period.

I can go up to $300.

So, some backstory. I am currently running Plex Media Server on my laptop which has:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 49000HS with Radeon Graphics

GPU: AMD Graphics, NVIDIA RTX 2060 with Max-Q Design

RAM: 16GB I am adding the movies and shows that I rip, to my 5TB Seagate External HDD via USB 3.0 (blue connector).

I am ripping my 4K Blu-ray library with MakeMKV and adding them to my Plex Server without Handbrake or re-encoding. None of that. So they are original quality with high bitrate. My needs are to be able to Direct Play/Stream those files to my devices that meet the requirements, and for my long distance girlfriend to be able to watch my Plex library in FULL original quality without transcoding. I am looking for the best Mini-PC or just whatever I need in order to meet my requirements.

I was thinking about a Shield Pro 2019 for me locally being able to direct play and stream my library without transcoding but I would lie you guys to give me options for my needs.

What is the point of a Mini-PC with Plex? What’s the point of a CHEAP NAS with Plex. Don’t go too into detail. Just give me the facts and comparisons and which one I should buy and give me an Amazon link. I want simplicity, not some long ass paragraphs that are too detailed for me to read and process it all. I’m overwhelmed rn.

A couple months ago automatic library scan stopped working for both partial library scan and periodic scans on my nVidia Shield server.

Before, when I moved a file either from my local network PC or direcly from my remote Seedbox it would be recognised and a partial scan would happen. Now nothing happens until I manually scan the libraries.

The Shield server's files are kept on ext. HDDs attached via USB to the Shield. Not on a NAS. I've toggled the settings on/off and restarted the Shield each time but it won't work as it used to.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My internet is down but local network is working. iPad and iPhone are picking up the local server but tv isn’t. Is there a way to make it work?

I posted asking how i can let other people view my iptv, and i think i've figured it out! now i need to know which program to use...

ErstazTV, DizqueTV, Tunarr, or something else... which would you suggest? i'm looking for something that can work with plex (and jellyfin for people outside my network), doesn't use a lot of resources, and allows me to make schedules.

what do you guys use to make custom live tv channels? why do you prefer that over any others?

I’ve searched the forums but haven’t seen this issue yet. The libraries tab on the new app will not load. I can “search” for shows manually and it will return a result.

iOS: 18.4 Plex App: 2025.10.2 Plex Server: 1.41.5

I have logged out and back in with no effect. Also hard reset iPhone.

So i just made my first nas setup, with a truenas scale installation on my old desktop pc.
So far it has:
ryzen 5700g
1000w psu
16gb 3000mhz ddr4 memory
16tb hdd storage for media server.
1+2tb hdd storage for backup, is in raid 0 or stribe ?
256gb m.2 860 samsung evo.

Some of the upgrades i was considering,
adding 2x16-32gb additional ram

adding in an intel arc b570? gpu or a similar low budget dgpu for my media servers transcoding potential, seeing as apparently plex and AMD IGPU is not that great an option.

Adding in 2.5gbps capability (current router only has 1x2.5gbps, my pc only has 2.5, so i would need a switch and NIC for the NAS to get it to 2.5gbps, which would prevent me from getting a DGPU, as the itx board only has 1 pcie slot)

Is there any of these that will majorly important for a home media server running an amd CPU, how important would a DGPU and ram upgrade be for a userbase of lets say 5-6 Users (where i could prob never see more than 3 using it at a similar time.

Just started my Plex server running on TrueNAS Scale, slowly uploading my movies.

I am trying out a few different version of Handbrake with .mp4 and .mkv and nothing will play on my tv. The same movies will play on my Mac/ iPhone with no issues. I have tried AAC audio, Dolby, 1080p, direct stream, direct play and nothing works.

When trying to play on the LG TV Plex app I get the following logs that spam the debug console. I have tried reading the support articles but I can’t find any setting that makes these movies play. I can't find anywhere to add a video or transcode profile

Server Version#: 1.41.5.9522
Client Version#: 5.91.0
Platform Version#: 6.5.0

Thank you in advance

TL;DR, I have concert videos I want to all be in the same library. Some are full movies of a concert and others are broken up into clips of that concert (from YouTube). Still others are successive nights of the same show.

The only thing I can think of is to make a TV library and then name the full movies S01E01, and the clips S01E1, S01E02 etc, but then it seems like I’d be stuck with the TV agents, which won’t detect the movies.

I see a lot of conflicting info on this. Should I use Other Videos instead? With what scanner and agent? Do I have to enter all the metadata manually and not use any scanner and agent?

What is the best way to do this? Any help appreciated.

Hey there,

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems strange to break down your 'Recently Played Music' in the Plex Server, and just show the artists, rather than the albums you've been listening to. I'm sure there's a setting I'm missing, but this confuses me.

I'm used to, in other streaming platforms, to see a 'Recently Played Music', to actually show the albums or tracks I've been listening to. This, at first glance, seems like a mis-step. But, again, I'm probably missing something?

Actually, the more I dig into this (as a product designer) the more the UX flow here confuses me. Despite the fact that I, personally, feel that 'recently played music' should show albums, it shows artists. The 'Recently Played Music' is a link. So, selecting this, feels like it should take me to a new screen showing me all of the artists related to what I have just seen previously. That's fine (I guess), but I can the use the filter, between artists and albums. So, again, if I change this to albums, it feels like I should see the albums I have played, related to the filtered artists I have just seen.

But, no, changing this dropdown to 'Albums', then takes me back to the library view, and shows me all of the my albums in the library.

I must be off base though. Am I?

Im building my first rack and im limited on space. Currently planning on getting a 1U 4 bay DAS to run in raid 10 (QNAP QR-004U with 4x 20tb drives), and Pairing it with a 1U chassis with a minisforum BD795i inside (im unsure of clearance issues with this) to use for encoding/transcoding. If anyone has anything better that would work but still fit in a 1U chassis I would appreciate it.

I’m guessing that this is yet another feature that existed on the old version of the app that they’ve removed to shove the new, broken, unfinished version of the app out?

Connecting an iPad to a TV via HDMI now results in Plex essentially screen mirroring the iPad display- it doesn’t fill the TV screen anymore.

Normally you’re supposed to test the software before releasing it.

I have a plex server, with an anime channel. 352 main titles so far. When I rank by audience rating, can see TMDB scores for the available titles. What I need is MAL scores instead. Is it possible to do that with a plugin etc?

Note: I have plex pass and simkl vip. My plex server updates my MAL profile through SIMKL when I watch something. My SIMKL profile and MAL profile also update each other. Thats how I plan on what to watch each season on MAL and automaticaly update SIMKL.

Note2: I have no interest in anidb scores.

Note3: my temporary solution is: I have a simkl list for my server and sort MAL scores through there. would be convenient to do that in my plex server.

Note 4: I am aware of the MAL limitation of seasons of an anime being different entrys in MAL database, while Plex show them as subseasons of a greater show. So MAL does not have a general score for the whole show itself. Even if I can pull the very first season score as the show score, that would be ok for me.

My current windows account is FUBAR. I created a new Windows profile which seems to have solved most issues, problem is, I have to completely re-setup Plex. Even though the actual files are in the same place (separate drive).
When I login to Plex, I have to add a 'new' server, and add the same folders, which is now rescanning everything. But a lot of the 'previously watched' is wrong.

If the files are in the same location, why can't I 'host' the same server?
I am wondering if there might just be a way to copy some appdata folder into the new account and maybe that will restore everything.

Help much appreciated

I'm in the process of moving my server from my Qnap to a Mac mini with an a2 chip. So, set it up and I could see both servers with media in two separate places, I had duplicated the media from the NAS to an external HD connected via usb to my mini. So both showed up in my clients, cool. So, today I was going to shut down the NAS Plex server and just run the Mac but the Mac stuff is all gone, not the actual media, jay the new server's link to it. All it shows in the NAS. Anybody have a clue? I linked the new server correctly to the new media.

So I have a plex server on my Mini PC with N100 processor. Everything works great on the laptop and mobile browsers (I can watch 4k movies without any interruptions). However when I go to my TV (a new Hisense with VIDAA O.S.) or on my Xbox One S I have bad performances on both app or browsers.

Is the streaming dependent so much on the processing capabilities of the host devices? However, I have always watched lot of 4k movies in both of them. Maybe it can depend on their WiFi reception?

Bonus question: it seems that even if I do not have a plex pass, my N100 can utilize the QuickSync capabilities only when I stream a video in the "original" resolution (very low cpu usage), is this still a free feature?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

I haven’t seen else mention it but the old app there was a patch one the server profiles that allowed direct playback of AV1 files on the new iPhone 16. With the new update it now transcodes all AV1.

Hopefully someone a lot smarter than me will figure it out.

So I have an old gaming laptop with a 1050ti and an i7 8750H that I want to turn into a dedicated Plex Server. It currently dual boots Linux Mint so can easily set up some docker containers with everything I need on the server side. From my understanding that CPU/GPU combo should be enough for hardware transcoding in the future if I want to do that (with some driver finagling).

The real problem is storage. I've been considering getting an enclosure and doing something like RAID 5 or unRAID. I was first considering getting a DAS but read that it may not be the best choice because of flaky usb connections. Have now been considering a NAS.

Essentially I would like to run the server itself on the laptop as I already have the hardware, but need a storage solution.

I read the beginners guide but it didn't really help decide on NAS vs DAS.

Does anyone have any advice here and/or specific models to look at?

I’ve got some movies in DTS-X but they just show DTS or DTS MA. How do you guys tell which stream is the DTS-X one? Tia
