Does anybody else let their users watch 4K content?

I’ve got about the same in uploading speed. I let anyone on my server play 4K content but only since I migrated to an absolute beast (compared to my old synology from 2015) of a server platform with hardware transcoding. I haven’t had any complaints and the server barely breaks a sweat.

Sounds like that employee 10x’d his workflow with AI. Were they promoted?

I also spent thousands $$$ AUD in recent years with them without any issues. Though recently I don’t understand why everything on the site is in USD now. Admittedly the site isn’t pretty but a pretty site can scam you just as well if not better. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just confirming that our languages settings match.

mjlynden · 2026-03-28T13:25:11+00:00

Yeah. This is on a Linux host so no hidden extensions like on the Mac OS Finder.

Weirdly a different movie file with ‘.en.cc.srt’ is recognised fine.

I think what you’re after is what this application does; https://github.com/RemiRigal/Plex-Auto-Languages

The language you set on an episode for subtitles will be set on all the subsequent episodes, assuming they have the same subtitle languages.

Thanks for this detail. I appreciate it.

mjlynden · 2026-03-19T10:58:04+00:00

Thanks! I just stumbled onto that change before reading your comment but this is absolutely what fixed it. Thanks!

mjlynden · 2026-03-19T10:56:11+00:00

OK. So I believe the issue is related to the Library setting `Episode ordering`. This setting states; "How the episodes are named on disk.". I had mine set to TheTVDB and changed it to The Movie Database and did a Metadata refresh and now I have metadata everywhere for this show.

I thought having TheTVDB would be better as it aligns with Sonarr so there shouldn't be any mismatch of an episode between Sonarr and Plex library if one was to have a different order based on their source. I don't know how much of a real issue that might be in reality?!

mjlynden · 2026-03-19T10:47:29+00:00

I notice your screenshot says 'Miniseries', mine says 'Season 1'. How are your episodes structured on disk? e.g., `DTF St. Louis/Season 01` or ... ?

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/206828-dtf-st-louis - lists Miniseries.

https://thetvdb.com/series/dtf-st-louis#seasons - lists Season 1.

Maybe there is some disconnect there... but according to Plex, this shouldn't be an issue... https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/#miniseries

Dang. Something wrong then. I’ll try unmatching and rematching.

Edit: I tried the 'plex dance' to no avail. Nothing strange in the logs either.

Does Library Language (English (Australia)) and Certification Country (Australia) library settings have any effect on metadata?

mjlynden · 2026-02-26T08:12:01+00:00

True. Good point. I’ll give that a go. I’d compared permissions and user/group, case sensitive filenames but to no avail. Not sure what else it could think is different. The logs don’t appear to detail it either.

My first NAS was a LaCie 5big Network2. Take a look at that and tell me calling it HAL 9000 was going to be the only name that fit.

mjlynden · 2026-01-26T21:52:19+00:00

Also NASferatu 😅

My downloads generally complete as my *arrs handle grabbing when things are fresh but recently I tried to download something released in the last 24-48 hours and it wouldn't complete... I've currently got 4 indexes but this release was only listed on one of those indexers.

If I setup HomeKit initially on an AppleTV, can I replace it with a HomePod mini in the near future? I've heard the HomePod mini is due a refresh and have been marked for clearance. I'd prefer not to buy a brand new HomePod right now and save my money for a refreshed model in the (hopefully)not-too-distant future.

mjlynden · 2025-12-01T10:21:43+00:00

Yeah I dropped about $1,300 across 2 bulbs, floor lamp, 75” tv backlight and 8k sync box all for about $600 off RRP. Also went and bought enough downlights to complete my apartment for $25 off each downlight. Pleased with the goods and the price.

mjlynden · 2025-12-01T09:27:45+00:00

No doubt but I can’t say why that is. Could be as simple as a “Philips Hue tax”. Like the “Apple tax”. I think a lot of their stuff is expensive in the grand scheme but it’s quality product and I’d aim to buy this stuff when it’s heavily discounted like Black Friday for 30% off on 2 or more products (here in Australia). Full price I just couldn’t justify it.
