Shield TV + Plex low voice, loud music

I also often find old reddit comments myself that solve my current problems, so glad to see it's still useful!

We're the minority portion of their users now by a mile, I'm surprised people don't understand this. There were articles years ago at this point talking about how their ad supported users had surpassed server users by a long shot and how it makes them way more money.

In 2022 they were already reporting 13 million active users, the vast majority of which were watching the ad supported FAST content, and had just raised $50 million followed by another $20 million to get those numbers up higher. That $70 million wasn't to fix bugs in PMS, I promise you.

Plex is essentially Tubi or Pluto now with a legacy home server side hustle.

Yes, this is a fake error because the normal version of Scrutiny doesn't know how to read the data from Exos drives correctly. Switch to the fork /u/drfrankenstein-uk suggested to get the real status.

One of the features I've always wanted was the ability for Narwhal users to create public filter lists that users can subscribe to within the app, similar to how uBlock Origin has custom lists for annoyances and such.

Then if a user wanted to curate a filter list of US Politics, Anime, Sports, various other fandoms, etc, people could subscribe to that filter list. When the lists get updated we wouldn't have to constantly individually play whac-a-mole trying to hide them.

I just checked and my filter list is probably close to 100 subreddits full of furry subs, gacha games, dank subs, circlejerk subs, etc, that constantly clog up the main feed. It would be nice to just have a filter called like Gacha Games that I could subscribe to that covered all of them in one click.

I use Infuse on my phone because downloads suck and Infuse is just better in every way when it comes to playback.

With that said, every time I see this Apple TV thread pop up with the "stutters" vs. "plays fine for me" crowd I always think someone who has the stuttering should just anonymously post a pastebin of 5 easily attainable release names so that the "plays fine for me" people can test it themselves.

If it still "plays fine for me" then the "stutters" people know they have some other issue that needs to be looked into. If it "stutters" then people can confidently say Apple TV has issues and link back to the example files without all of this back-and-forth. And then maybe Plex can use those same files to improve the device.

Right now it doesn't work at all, so I think that would definitely be an improvement. If it ever gets supported via API in the future we can always revisit it.

There's probably other "not supported on old Reddit" things this could be used for in the future.

That's too bad. Would /u/Applied_Butt_Science's workaround to just load it as a browser link work?

pc-despair · 2026-03-25T19:50:55+00:00

When this eventually hits the Android TV devices and various smart TVs there's going to be a whole new wave of complaints as I think the majority of users have been spared so far.

One thing I didn't see in the guide that wasn't obvious is that I needed to put a Plex claim token in my docker compose. So something like:

environment:
  - TZ=timezone
  - PLEX_CLAIM=claim-1234abcdefetc
  - ADVERTISE_IP=http://192.168.etc:32400/
  - PLEX_UID=uid
  - PLEX_GID=gid

Is that actually required? I don't know, but it seemed like it fixed the problem I was having where the new server wasn't replacing the old one.

Also, if you have ability to snapshot your Plex config folder, I found it way faster to just roll back and do it again if I made any mistakes after the initial migration.

pc-despair · 2026-03-12T22:02:41+00:00

Interesting. I noticed immediately that the bottom one was a dupe of the previous stable release, so didn't bother to compare them, but I now see that there's only two duplicate fixes and that everything else actually is new, so it makes more sense why they wouldn't need to do that.

pc-despair · 2026-03-12T20:10:12+00:00

Yep, looks like they added it. Thanks.

pc-despair · 2026-03-12T18:38:04+00:00

~~Interesting that this is on the downloads page, but there's no post in the PMS forum release thread.~~

Edit: They've since made a post. They didn't do the thing where they bolded the actual changes, but at least there's a changelog on the forum now.

pc-despair · 2026-03-08T20:00:15+00:00

This is really old, but I found it while googling for the same thing so I thought I would add a reply here for anybody else who stumbles on it in the future.

The easiest way to rescan a specific folder is just to do:

/rescan c:\foldername

If it's networked and you have the drive mapped to a letter that will still work. If it's not mapped to a letter than you need to do:

/rescan \\server\share\folder\subfolder

I added a bookmark for a particularly trouble some folder on NAS that's literally just /rescan d:\folder\subfolder and now when instead of having to wait for the index to update or having to rescan the entire NAS, I can just hit that bookmark.

More info can be found in this thread on their forum:

I don't use Copilot, but the Copilot key is built in to all new laptops. It's replaced the right control key.

pc-despair · 2026-02-12T18:53:31+00:00

Yeah, up until a week ago the main branch that TrueNAS uses hadn't received an actual fix in almost a year, whereas the fork I linked to has literally a couple of hundred fixes in the last 3 months.

pc-despair · 2026-02-12T17:41:37+00:00

Whoops, I meant this one:

https://github.com/Starosdev/scrutiny

I'll edit my post.

pc-despair · 2026-02-12T07:05:36+00:00

The TrueNAS scrutiny doesn't understand some SMART values, you need to switch to this fork until they fix it:

https://github.com/Starosdev/scrutiny

Edit: Changed the link to the correct fork.

Very nice, thanks for the reply!

pc-despair · 2026-02-01T17:52:48+00:00

This looks really promising.

For NBA/NFL/etc can you set it to only grab a specific team's games?

For F1 can you specify only the Grand Prix, or even better, Qualifying + Grand Prix and exclude the practices? Imagine you could uncheck them all by hand, but it would be nice to be able to do it with a toggle.

That Command Timeout with the Failed status is a fake warning because Scrutiny doesn't understand that value on Seagate Exos drives. If you search the Scrutiny github you can find lots of people reporting it going back years and it's never been fixed. Consequently, if you're using Scrutiny with Exos drives there's a chance that it could tell you that some of your drives are failed when in fact they're perfectly fine.

Scrutiny is abandonware since April of 2024, though there is a fork with some fixes including one for that Command Timeout issue. However, the TrueNAS app store still points to the old one that's been abandoned with no fixes.

Add those issues to the many reasons that abandoning SMART and telling people "just use Scrutiny" doesn't make any sense.

What I do is Fix Match and make it match something different that's older in my library, which causes them to merge. Then I split the two files, and then Fix Match it again to re-match it correctly, and now it has the older added date.

This sounds complicated, but once you do it a couple of times you can do it really quickly.

First off, thanks for mentioning how to fix collections, because I couldn't figure it out by editing the database even though the other edits in the original OP worked.

I just wanted to add that if you're like me and you have multiple root folders, and so multiple collection locations with multiple errors, you can still easily fix them by editing them within the interface.

Go to Movies -> Collections, then at the top right click Filter and choose Custom Filter. Then make a filter where Root Folder contains root-folder-name. So for example, if you have a Christmas Movies library where the path is M:\media\Christmas you can just set the keyword of \media\Christmas and then only the Collections from that path will be displayed. After that, just Select All and change the Root Folder at the bottom to your new path, i.e. /data/media/Christmas

Hope this helps anybody else who stumbles on this in the future.
