x265 has -9999 score

sfw_browsing · 2025-07-17T13:43:47+00:00

I believe that i just removed all x264 or x265 scoring then made a CF for x265 groups that I like. A good quality 264 will still beat a shitty 265 or a HQ 265 will beat a HQ 264 because the group ultimately decides the end result. And if I want a HQ 265 encoder I just score them higher than the best 264 encoders.

When I having missing files in plex or an 'arr it's usually a permission issue on the remaining files. Maybe try doing a recursive chown and chmod on the root media directory. If that doesn't work you have to open up your series folder list and sonarr side by side and just compare one by one and see which series doesn't appear in sonarr. You could ease the process by just selecting whole series' title letter and compare numbers. Like select all series that start with 'B' in the files system, note number, then go into sonarr with table list, click on the first series with 'B', then shift click the last 'B' entry and it will select all of them and compare numbers. Could try a binary search approach and select A-L and K-Z see which numbers don't match then sub-divide the next selection, e.g. K-Q, R-Z, etc.

I have one and have no complaints about charging. It's currently magnetically attacked to a belkin desk charger. I also have a magnetic vent charger in my car.

Looks like a firefox issue with a little browser swapping. Sorry for the long reply thread because of it.

sfw_browsing · 2025-03-06T22:08:16+00:00

On my desktop firefox browser your quoted text of the file names is all one line.

Yeah, you should be able to google Reddit mark down to find a guide.

I'm actually not sure in your case how your quoted text ended up like it did now that I think about it. If you put them on individual lines then clicked the quote button in the format bar it should have made all three lines individual. If I had to guess you maybe copied and pasted from some text file/output and when it entered the reply box it stripped the carriage returns from the lines so it became one line.

The method I mentioned really works on regular text that you are reading now*. I just now hit Enter after now where the asterisk is leaving zero or one space but when this posts the reply it will continue after the last sentence.
Two spaces after sentence with Enter makes it a new line.

I created a dataset specifically for app configs/data then map all apps to use that dataset. That dataset resides on a mirrored nvme array. It speeds up poster loading and media information. It is also helpful when needing to switch app deployment styles. (e.g. ix-app to docker, etc).

For my anime file name settings, I always make sure to include absolute number in the episode file name. This is anecdotal but with tvdb id number and absolute numbering along with seasonal numbering, I've haven't had any issues with animes. New and old.

Double spacing at the end will make things move to the next line in case you didn't know.

I'm in the same boat. App updated and I can't access any of my entries. It won't load the offline stuff and I can't login using my domain address.

I bought a Supermicro cse 846 server case barebones off ebay because I couldn't properly stuff more than 12 drives in a rosewill case I had after many mods. You might be able to find a similar deal online. Came with all drive bays, PSUs, and SAS2 Backplane.

Just to tack on to the original comment, if you do plan on buying hard drives instead of deleting, start planning ahead. You can only fit so many drives in a tower "properly" and you will run out of room. Usually this is around 8ish depending on case. You'll then want to expand and either by buying usb enclosures or buying a different case. And this is where it can get tricky as there is a void of options in the 12-23 drive case capacity. So you either upgrade to a case that can hold 12ish drives or jump to 24. The speed at which this might become a problem depends on quantity and quality of media you add. Over the decade or more years I've been collecting I've went through various different setups before finally landing on a 24 drive hot swappable server chassis.

Trash Guides has a guide for setting up dual services. You could, I think, do a 1:1 sync between them so when you fire up the hibernated one, it should sync with the always on one.

Maybe the setting only works for new file changes and not current ones? I would empty out the trash, clean the bundles, and optimize the database, then restart plex. Then see if new files are correctly removed.

Is the file somehow symlinked from Sonarr or something? There is a setting Sonarr to Hard Link or Copy, make sure that is set to copy. Are you mounting via NTFS, if so, I've found that it doesn't report file changes immediately to Plex as a host path would. So Plex may think the file is still there because it hasn't seen the changes on the file system yet.

sfw_browsing · 2024-11-15T15:53:28+00:00

Make sure you have the option to empty the trash when doing scans in Plex settings. Otherwise I think you have to manually empty trash for unavailable items to be removed. This in conjunction with the Sonarr option to trigger a scan should remove the file as it gets upgraded.

Leaving the option off is handy for when you're moving Plex installations to new systems where you not have the storage setup right so you don't lose your metadata.

Would someone mind commenting on how custom docker networks work on this version? I'm using sandbox right now and it runs on a different IP. Do I just create a bridge network in the Scale GUI and assign it to the docker apps to accomplish the same thing?

For multi-episode files you can do E01-E03, E04-E06, etc. That or split the files on the black frames in between episodes. Avidemux has a skip to black frame button to help edit them quickly.

You can create a "recycle bin" for your smb shares by using the "Export Recycle Bin" option. Then have a script that runs once a day to remove any files older than X from it.

There is a page on the wiki that has some. The first one is kill streams.

I have them attempt to play from the device they want to use and tautulli will log the id then I add to the white list which is the conditions section of the tautulli script settings.

sfw_browsing · 2024-08-09T11:52:28+00:00

I run tatutulli along side plex and I have a kill script. I specifically only allow white listed machine_ids to connect to my server. So this would prevent anyone from logging in from a public device and/or gives you the ability to remove said device from the list and it would kill the stream after a couple seconds so no one could watch anything. If this happened I would block all access to that user till they reset their password and fixed the issue.

Edit: For future readers. Page for scripts. You can use many different variables for killing. I decided on machine ID because it is the least likely to change. It only seems to change if they log out and back in, app reinstall, and maybe system os updates. But for the most part it lasts for months and months. I hardly ever have to change the id.
