Is there a setting somewhere in Plex or on the server so that some songs don’t play loud and others so soft? Thanks in advance.

Are there any good iOS apps for rating songs while they play in Plex on the TV? I can’t find a way to rate songs using an AppleTV and its remote.

I did try the Plex app on the phone, but you have to leave it as the frontmost app or it will disconnect by the next time you open it (app flushes/sleeps). If it doesn’t disconnect then instead you get a mismatch of what’s playing and what can be rated (album art/track name/rating pane don’t match). There’s also no widgets from the app to do this from on iOS.

Or is there a web app I can run on the server and connect to from the phone’s web browser to rate items as they play?

@plexamp @plex Seeing an interesting/odd server response to an API call from with the Symfonium player - http://support.symfonium.app/t/manually-sync-all-playlists-option/5633/4?u=talios - any ideas why the server (Version 1.41.2.9092 - tho may have been the previous version at the time of this log) is generating wrong output? The server \is\ busy processing sonic analysis on a bunch of tracks tho - could that be related?

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to create a playlist of songs from my library that have been released as "singles" or "Top 40s" across a time period?

Let's say I wanted to throw a 90s party, and I wanted to create a playlist from my library using only songs that people are likely to know. I recognize that's totally subjective, so maybe that's why I'm struggling to find what I want. I can create a playlist based on album release date, which gets me a bit of the way there, but the playlist is going to include a lot of "deep cut" tracks and whole albums that few people know. I'd rather not spend too long curating the list. I was hoping for a way to just find popular tracks, and it seems like basing it on "chart toppers" would be a good place to start. Ideally, it would be genre-independent, but limited to songs that got decent radio play, so Backstreet Boys to Korn to Shania Twain are fine. Yo Yo Ma maybe not so much.

It doesn't seem like Plex has information available in the filters to achieve that. It does have "Popularity" as an additional column header if I list my music by "Tracks", so I guess I could sort by that and limit the results to some value. It feels a little clunky, though, and I'm not sure where it's getting that information.

I know that Library Radio is a thing, but I can't seem to make it do what I want. I only have 4 stations on the web interface: "Library Radio", "Deep Cuts Radio", "Time Travel Radio", and "Random Album Radio". Clicking on them just starts playing music from a wide selection that I have no control over. I know that "Decade Radio" exists, but it doesn't seem to be giving me what I want, either. It frequently pulls instrumental tracks from movie soundtracks. I have "Smart Shuffle" enabled on my server. I'm not sure if that's helping or hurting my experience (I've seen some very mixed reviews on that feature). I also can't find "Decade Radio" on the web interface; it seems like Decade Radio is only available on Plexamp.

I'd rather just create a playlist. That way it would be available everywhere, and I could tailor it a little bit, if needed.

So, yeah... any tips? It seems like the "filter by decade, sort by popularity, and limit by count" might be my best option right now.

I would love to have an easy way to sync up my Photos from #icloud with @plex Any ideas??? \#plex

Plex introduced an Auto-Sync Subtitles feature that aligns subtitles with audio using an algorithm that detects voices, supporting external SRT files and those from OpenSubtitles.com.

The feature requires a Plex Pass subscription, voice activity detection, and media analysis enabled on the server, but won't work on some systems like FreeBSD, Nvidia Shield, and certain NAS servers.

Plex is expanding its app offerings, including a new dedicated photos app in open beta, and currently offers a 20% discount on Lifetime Plex Pass subscriptions.

Have just replaced the super convoluted Spotify process for getting local files to my phone with Plexamp.

Straight up streaming into CarPlay.

Well done Plex.

I swear I’d watch more of the ad-supported content on Plex if it didn’t stop every ten minutes to show four minutes of commercials. I hope they are making some money from this deal, but I doubt it. Most of this content is available from other ad supported streamers with about 1/4 of the commercials. So why would anyone watch this?

I host a Plex server for our household, which includes a couple of teenagers. All members of the household (myself included) have a PIN protected managed user profile on our Plex server.

The problem is, if I let the teenagers have my Plex account password to login to our Plex server, it automatically logs them in with the Home Admin profile, whereas I'd much rather it force them to select from the list of profiles on our server (eg. just like Netflix does).

This means that, every now and then, I have to manually go to whichever new device they want to run Plex on (such as a Playstation) and handle the login process myself, so I can be certain they're logged in with their own user profile - not the Home Admin profile.

I've set a PIN on the Home Admin profile, but that doesn't help unless you've already logged in first, then go to use fast user switching to select a different profile. On very first login, Plex will always auto-select the Home Admin profile.

I've searched high and low, but can't find any info or settings that help me change this behaviour.

So, my question is simple: is it possible to prevent auto-login as the Home Admin profile, and force selection from the list of managed users instead?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I should have provided more details about what I've tried so far. We have tested out using a separate Plex user account for the oldest kid, as all the reading I did suggested she would "inherit" my server's Plex Pass rights when streaming from it.

But, we found that the iPhone app could still stop playback after a minute. Plus we couldn't log her account onto the shared Chromecast TV, so she could watch her shows on the house TV. So we ended up moving her back to a managed user profile on our server.

EDIT 2: after some more reading, it now seems the mobile app must either be logged in with a Plex Pass account (mine, in our case) or the user has to pay a once-off fee to unlock it.

I could've sworn it was different when I first read about it a year or two back, where the app would "inherit" the server's rights, but I guess that's either faulty memory or they changed the rules. The once off unlock fee isn't a big problem, so that's one hurdle overcome.

The second problem is how to use multiple Plex accounts on the Plex app for Chromecast, so the kids can enjoy their content on the big screen when they want to. Has anyone cracked the code on how to achieve that?

I'm having a hard time googling this question, so I'm asking here. I have a Plex server with content, and I want my dad and my sister to have access through their account at their homes. Does this require a Plex pass only for me or for all users?

@plex I'm trying to build some smart playlists:

The Genre selection works but the album / track ratings fails to add tracks to the list.

Rating something 1 star I don't want it to be included

match-all { match-all{ match-any { album-rating is-greater-than 1stars album-rating is 0stars } match-any { track-rating is-greater-than 1stars track-rating is 0stars } } match-any { album-genre is soundtracks ... album-genre is film-scores } }

Hey everyone, for anyone with SNL collections do you have a place you know of where I could get SNL "Bumper" images?

Some images are the nice host images from TVDB, but a lot are missing. I can go through each episode and take a screencap, but that feels dirty and it'd be a ton of effort.

I'm hoping someone out there has or knows where to find a zip or something of all of them.

Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed a problem with #plex subtitles on ad supported content? I was watching a foreign language film with subtitles and every time it went to an ad break Plex would disable the subtitles and the only way to get them back was to go to playback settings and turn the subtitles off and on each time. This is extremely annoying to have to do this, considering how many ad breaks they insert into the average film on this platform.
