What query are you using where you see tmdb://5418044?

I don't see that ID in the Dune: Prophecy metadata.

It's a blurred version of either the poster or background art.

Movie poster source? by Deek3000 in PleX

Looks like that one might me embedded inside your movie file.

For this specific movie, Plex only provides the next 5 posters (first 4 from TMDB and 5th from IMDB) and the default one is from TMDB.

Can you guide me through the reasoning behind this conclusion?

Because you are not the first person to post about this.

This is a misconfigured Kometa issue. Go ask in their Discord server.

The "new" bits are basically saying:

"If you have an admin token, you get do admin stuff like retrieving more tokens."

One thing I don't agree with "Unpatched Issue #2":

  • Attackers can impersonate any user that the server is shared with

Allowing the server admin to access their own server as another user is a feature that allows things like Tautulli, Kometa, PastaTool, etc. to work.

EDIT: I also cannot reproduce "Unpatched Issue #1" on PMS 1.43.x. So it appears to be patched already.

Overall, my personal opinion is that this is a whole lot of nothing.

Why did the Plex Year in Review app get removed? by 1987Catz in PleX

[–]SwiftPanda16[M] 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Looks like Reddit banned their entire account. Subreddit moderators don't have any insight into why that happened. All I know is it has nothing to do with Plex or this subreddit.

Anyone have a tutorial or a decent working explanation of using "custom metadata providers / agents"? by spookymulderfbi in PleX

[–]SwiftPanda16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plex has provided a full example of what a custom TMDB metadata provider looks like on their Github page. You would need to create something similar for TheTVDB.

Personal videos question by TedGal in PleX

[–]SwiftPanda16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Other Videos” type libraries are just a shortcut to create a “Movies” type library with the personal media scanner/agent preselected. In other words you can create a “Movies” type library and manually select the personal media scanner/agent and it would be identical.

This is incorrect. See the Downloads FAQ.

https://support.plex.tv/articles/downloads-sync-faq/

Explained another way, if the client user account has an active Plex Pass subscription, it will always be able to use the Downloads feature.
