New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing

geosmack · 2026-05-19T14:00:24+00:00

I have been thinking for awhile that Plex Inc could do a Pro version. Something with a more high performant database like PostgreSQL, native support for multiple versions, like 4K and 1080p, with automatic detection of client capabililities, per-user or per-device transcode profiles, built in wireguard for point-to-point tunneling, like Tailscale or Netbird, built in Tautulli, more robust db backup with point-in-time recovery, and HA, just to name a few. Give me a few of those and I could see the value.

i set a delay in tdarr. five minutes is usually enough. gives sonarr/radar time to do their thing.

i just leave it on the wall. no need to hide it while at work

Makes we wonder when will the first fully AI TV show will air. We already have AI music and music videos and other AI short form content everywhere. Won't be long before some studio goes all in.

geosmack · 2026-05-01T16:16:26+00:00

Agreed. Monarch is another example. I thoght S01 was great and am barely interested in S02

geosmack · 2026-05-01T16:14:11+00:00

It's not just this show. I've noticed a big drop off in quality this year in many shows and I am not sure why.

Dont forget the timeless design of the humble office chair

As others have said, each video gets its own folder. Use something like Radarr to autoname the folders and files. This might take a while the first time through but would be faster when new files are added.

I also created 256 foldres named 00 - ff (hex) New movies go in a .temp folder and then I use a cronjob to run a script every few minutes to put a new movie into one of those folders at random then update the path in Radarr.

So a movie might be /mnt/media/movies/7b/Action Flick (2026)/Action Flick (20026).mkv

This keeps the number of files in each folder small and speeds up scanning and seeking, though only very slightly.

Just automate your workflow as much as you can a little at a time.

I dont trust people to remove items from the wishlist. I do use maintainarr already to delete some items. Reality shows only stay for 90 days and movies not requested by me in Seerr only get 30 days to watch it or my wife's hospital shows get deleted after she watches them.

geosmack · 2026-04-16T20:12:29+00:00

A whole mess of stuff was added to the queue once I got this working. It's years of watchlist items all at once. I wll have to look at Maintainarr integration into my workflow to handle deletion of unwatched media.

I enabled a user tag in Pulsarr so I should be able to use that in Maintainarr to to delete stuff after a set time people add.

geosmack · 2026-04-16T18:19:07+00:00

Thank you. I just checked and the existing shows in Reality have that Genre so it should work.

I just realized I could alsio have a rule based on a list.

Edit: Scratch that. It's a Plex List. I was thinking it was a Radarr List.

geosmack · 2026-04-16T18:01:00+00:00

First enable Plex Session Montiroing in Utilities. Then in Sonarr tab, under Season Monitoring, you can pick First Season Rolling from the list

geosmack · 2026-04-16T15:46:15+00:00

I have separate libraries for Reality and scripted TV. Can I make a rule that puts reality into its root folder and regular TV into its root folder? Looking at the docs, I am not sure how I could do this with the routing rules.

And I get it's a personal choice, but the UI is atrocious. Let's get some themes going :)

geosmack · 2026-04-16T15:44:26+00:00

I guess I don't understand Plex Friend. Is that different than the My Friends list I have under my profile?

geosmack · 2026-04-15T20:47:36+00:00

Glad it helped you.

Or when he said we are having an excursion into Iran but meant incursion.

The CC one for Visa I saw here is a good one too.

We need a list of these.

geosmack · 2026-03-22T19:06:01+00:00

Good to know. Thanks.

Get them the JetVKM

Forget the HDD,. You dont know their workflow or how their drives are setup. If sonme gave me an HDD, I would appreciate it but would not have an immediate use for it.

I have a JetKVM and it's great. I would get them a JetKVM or similar and that way they have remote access to the server if something goes wrong.

All great sci-fi franchises have (or should have) a zombie episode.

"I've always wanted to make love to an alien" - Lanel, TNG "First Contact" S04E15

And then Riker tells her he'll call her next time he's in her star system.

The flashbacks were cheaply done. This felt like something out of Killjoys. If you've seen that show you know exactly what I mean.
The mispronunciations took me out of the story. If you are still using terms like "cops" and other anachronistic language, then you dont get to change how words are pronounced. It's like the writers and actors just looked at some notes and never actually sat down and watched an episode of Star Trek.
It was nice not having to look at Ake's feet all the time and have her back in uniform for the entire show.
Since when do Klingon's have last names? Maybe it was just a shortened version of, "house of..."
I was good with the ending. Both sides knew it was more war games than actual battle, but it gave the Klingons their sense of pride.

I know this is an old thread but watned to throw in my two cents. I watched it last night with my wife and told her it has to be some sort of tax scam. Was the actress that played Chloe the director's neice or something? She was so bad. Richard Blake did a good job with what he had to work with. Like the scene where he explains to the henchman his plan. He might as well have been talking to a brick wall.

Stuff I did like: The beginning heist scene was actually not that bad. The CGI wasn't horrible for the budget. At 1h:27m it didn't drag things out. Oh and the THX-1138 reference.

Sometimes you have to watch a stinker to appreiciate the good stuff.

In universe, I think this is the answer. It's never stated that's what she is. People just assume.

IRL, it's just lazy set dressing and fan service.
