Hello everyone, I am currently looking for a solution to use Plex with 1fichier.com.
1fichier.com is currently promoting with unlimited storage for 15 € / year, which would be perfect for use with Plex.
Pled Cloud does not support it unfortunately.
Does anyone know a way for it to work?
Thanks 
PS: 1fichier.com FTP service only supports file upload.
Hi,
I didn't find any answer to my question and my try/errors session didn't succeed .
So I was wondering, if you publish your server through ipv4 + port forwarding, will the ipv6 stack will be forwarded through this port to or will it stay at 32400 since ipv6 adresses are routable?
so if you've forwarded your server ipv4 through the port 50000 will it be:
https://[ipv6]:50000 or https://[ipv6]:32400?
hi,
I recently shared content of my account with friends, but I soon realized they shared their account with many other people.
If I put up a filter by IP, it puts a limit at Plex services. (dynamic ip for smartphone, tablet etc ...)
So it would be interesting to implement a new feature:
"devices limit per user account on Multi-User features"
How do I set up Remote Access using IPVANISH VPN and Linux Ubuntu as my OS?
The purpose of this HowTo is to join videofiles, when a movie was ripped and split into two or more files.
(This happens usually with very long movies [i.e. LOTR] or more often back in the day when we had Video CD or DIVX CDs)
The ultimate goal is to have the movie back in one file, so there is no trouble in the various Plex clients which do not support multi-part files.
The tool used is MKVtoolnixGUI
it is freely available for all major PC operating systems.
Therefore the container format of the output files will be MKV.
The input format can be a multitude of containers like AVI, MP4, MKV, MPEG, TS, DIVX and several more.
The quality of the files will remain the same, because mkvtoolnix only remuxes the files, it doesn't re-encode them.
This HowTo will use the newer GUI that is available from V8.0.0 of MKVtoolnix on.
(The older MKVmergeGUI has been deprecated and will be unavailable soon.)
Prerequisite:
All parts of the movie must be from the same source, encoded with the same parameters into the same audio/video codecs, or a lossless joining with mkvmerge is not possible!
start up MKVtoolnixGUI
(depending on your operating system this might look a little bit different)
drag the first part file into the window marked by my crude arrow
Now we correct the 'Output file' name to Plex standards to ensure a successful matching.
Filmtitle (year) [extraneous info which is not mentioned in the movie naming guide].ext
'Start Muxing'
Done.
Guide for splitting video files with MKVtoolnix GUI
Thanks to @adamskoog who suggested writing this guide.
We bought for our school a special server for streaming.
I installed Plex server and try my androind phone to connect. Although I see the server the screen on my phone says :
Direct connextion unavailable.
I dont understand cuase Im in the same subnet as the server. What do I do wrong?
Another question:
Is it possible to create and use only 1 account for access. we will use it only inside the schoolnetwerk. Otherwsie we have to make over 300 accounts for teachers.
I know if I transcode an audio file, I lose quality. Such as converting an MP3 to an OGG.
Yet, with Plex transcoding on the fly with codecs such as x265. Is the above still true?
Do I lose the benefits of using x265 if it is going to just transcode it?
Should I just stick to files that Plex isn't going to trancode such as x264.
Hey Guys
I apologise if this has been submitted. I did a search for 3D but it decline the search. Something about the search term was not allowed.
I have my Plex server running on my network. Works great always has. The one thing I think it is missing is the ability to convert a 3D movie to 2D by only showing half of the SBS image stretched to suit.
The main reason is I have the one 3D TV in the lounge room, and then I have multiple other systems and players that are all attached to normal 2D TV's. This would cut the problem of having to store a 2D and 3D version so that it can be seen on a normal TV.
A pop up as you start the movie to choose 2D or 3D?
I am guessing if this could be done that the client would have to have the menu and the server the ability.
I am unsure if this could be done client side or if it would be easier to do this server side.
Cheers

I have 2 versions of the same movie (Logan, Logan - Noir). When I load both files in Plex it shows both merged into 1 playback file. If i place my mouse over the movie in my PMS library there's a "2" in the upper left hand corner but I can't select it. Is there a way to break this out so that I can see both movies separately OR how can i choose to play 1 file over the other?
Hello.
I was watching a video on Plex on AppleTV when it suddenly stopped and seemed to be buffering. When nothing happened I paused the video and scrolled back. It played but stopped again at the same point. Tried again and exact same result.
So I went to my computer to test the video on the browser and it wouldn't load so I refreshed the page and now my Plex Server sony load.
Can anyone help? What other information do I need to provide?
Regards
Plex for android now crashing whenever i try to connect to chromecast.
Has been happening across all my android devices and i can only stream from my computer now or just straight to phone. Just wondering if this is an isolated issue or something the plex team is currently working on. Thanks!
Would it be possible to have an audio only option under Plex for the video quality. There is often times when I only want to listen to a movie such as when I am driving or working around the house and I do not want to watch it. This would provide the option to listen at a much lower bandwidth than even the 96 kbps.
Thank you.
I am trying to share my content with my friend who I have sent an invite too. In the past, since I am a long-standing Plex Pass subscriber, the friend would simply use the emailed invite, create their own account with it, and they were good to go with whatever Plex client they wanted to use. No fuss, no muss. That was literally all that was required and a sea cucumber could figure it out.
Now, my other friend, who recently signed up to Plex as I instructed (maybe this was the mistake?), received my email invite and now can see my content index in the web app with her account. However, when she tries to use the Plex iPhone app she seems to be forced into buying a Plexpass. She is not computer savvy and I am not familiar with the experience that a Plex user with no Plexpass experiences when using the iPhone app. Is it that Plex now demands $$ to use the iPhone app to view friend's content or is she just not finding the right way in? I can't imagine this is "gimme more money" situation and I am flummoxed that the iPhone app would make this difficult to figure out, since iPhone users are presumed to be computer illiterate. (No offense- I own an iPhone too.)
I searched through the FAQ, support guide, etc... but I was unable to find an answer to whether she needs Plex pass or not in order to use the iPhone app or how to view a friend's content with the iPhone app without buying a Plex pass, which is not surprising. Freemium services are notorious for hiding this sort of information, and even good ole Plex, a vendor that I personally have shelled out hundreds of US $ for over the years, is apparently no exception.
Anybody?
This is just FYI to anyone considering trying the Plex DVR feature. If you have Time Warner Spectrum the HD Homehome Prime will NOT work correctly with the TV service. What I discovered is most channels have DRM on them, and the HDHomerun does not support it. Therefore you will not have many channels available to you. The product in general was also quite glitchy. So IMO probably not the best partner for Plex. Not sure if there are any alternatives.
I wanted to ask for a feature to be added for the Plex for Android app. Specifically on the Amazon Fire tablet. I wanted to check out plex for Android so I installed it onto my cell phone. I was very pleased with the app and liked how I could sync movies ahead of time and watch them from local storage on my phone while I am traveling or without wifi. Then I thought it would be even better on my Fire tablet because I have a huge SD card that is barely being used for some reason. However, I can't set the SD card as the source for Sync storage like I can with my cell phone. Can this feature be added for Fire tablets too?
So the I added the 1982 animated movie Snowman on my plex server but at the same time, plex also added an episode of a TV show Snowman which is in now way related to the movie and I dont even have it on my computer? WHat's more, if I go and delete the bogus TV show, my movie get deleted as well. Would appreciate any help here.
Android Client Version 5.10.1.264 on LG Nexus 5x:
ISSUE: Since the update to add stream quality to the client, when streaming via mobile internet, song quality is very poor (noticeably poor). Occurs when transcoding both FLAC and MP3 files, and occurs regardless of stream quality (192, 320 kbps sounds equally poor). However, playback of SYNCED files (even songs transcoded from FLAC to 320 kbps) sounds perfectly fine - the only issue is when streaming and playback via Bluetooth. Issue is not noticeable or present when connected via headphones to my phone nor via speakers - only present on Bluetooth.
Can confirm it's not the source quality either, as I tested on a variety of songs. And can confirm it's not a phone problem.
EXPECTED: Sound quality to sound identical to synced/saved files at the same bit rate.
Please let me know what other info might be necessary! Excited to get this bug squashed.
Interested in an optimal and cost effective solution that is portable and allows for use in a location without internet service. Family has a cabin in the mountains where there is no service. Historically, I've used a portable hard drive attached to a western digital media player (I think the first gen WDTV). But it won't do .pgs subtitles, and I've gotten lazy at converting those to VOB's, and of course don't have the awesome plex interface. So what would be the best set up to take the plex set up with me? Western Digital Cloud Pro hard drive as a plex server and amazon fire stick as a client to plug into the TV? Or perhaps the Nvidia shield? I forget if the nvidia shield has a plex server built into it. I'm guessing I would need to get it all set up at home with network connectivity to allow all the metadata to load, but then after that, I'm hoping it wouldn't require internet access. I could set up a wireless network in the cabin with an airport express or something to that effect, but it would be a local network only, without connection to an internet provider.
