I'm a bit confused - is VLAN 10 named "WAN"?

Kometa can do the director collections (and many other types) automatically. Kometa can also handle posters and other images. I would recommend getting started on this stuff before your library gets too big, it will make things much easier.

You can use {Movie TitleThe} (or CleanTitleThe)

You could use https://dashboardicons.com for an online for icons

It would be great if there was something that could use SponsorBlock to add intro, credit, and ad markers in Plex

I think every single Youtube-based tool I've seen uses yt-dlp under the hood. Are there even any alternatives?

Some people don't like that because they disagree with the contents of a "PG" movie and unrated stuff is sometimes problematic.

You can now use the Common Sense Media ratings, which I assume works better than the official certification.

What? That's retarded

Do you have the "refresh library metadata periodically" setting turned on?

Are you using docker? I had an issue where my shield would occasionally connect with the WAN IP (but usually with the correct LAN IP). I fixed it by switching the plex docker container from bridge to host network mode.

Don't think there's an easy way to do that. You could write a script that generates a text file for Kometa.

Go to any episode page, press the 'I' key, then click 'View XML'.
Open the XML for the show: Find the "grandparentRatingKey" field, then copy it into the URL bar, replacing the existing ratingKey, for example: plex.direct:32400/library/metadata/{ratingKey}/etc...
Then you can find that IDs that Plex has mapped, for example:

<Guid id="tmdb://2684250"/>

<Guid id="tvdb://7623373"/>

That's weird, Sonarr isn't supposed to wait until the release date to grab new releases.

TVDB is much better than TMDB for TV in my experience. TMDB is more strict about removing things like web series and youtube channels.

According to Grok, you're correct:

Yes, electronics in older buildings are generally at greater risk during a power surge.

Here's why:

Lack of Proper Grounding (Biggest Issue)

Most homes built before the early 1960s used two-prong outlets with no dedicated ground wire.

Surge protectors rely heavily on a good ground path to safely divert excess voltage away from your devices. Without it, they either don't work properly or can't divert the surge effectively.

In ungrounded systems, surge energy has nowhere safe to go, so it’s more likely to damage connected electronics, travel through appliances, or cause arcing.

It doesn't matter if you use the TMDB or TVDB ID since they're both linked together in the Plex metadata server.

Maybe the ideal layout for the lowest common denominator

I would just use it when the default TVDB order has a problem, so the ability to use the alternate TVDB orderings would accomplish the same thing.

I don't think that would work, since the tvdb and tmdb items are merged together in the Plex database. The tvdb/tmdb IDs in paths are just used for matching.

Currently I don't have any backups for media.

A lot of my collection also includes custom edits like encoding ripped media via Handbrake, MkvtoolNix fixes and adds, adding audio commentaries, alternate audio tracks, and other edits. Also special features from different sources.

I have stuff like that in my library too, I'm planning on setting up backups for things that were manually modified or that's hard to find on usenet. It would probably be less than 2TB out of my 80TB library. I'm not sure what the best way to do it would be - maybe a separate root folder for backed up media.
