The album in question is "Breach" by Twenty One Pilots, the album exists in last.fm (https://www.last.fm/music/twenty+one+pilots/Breach) in discog (https://www.discogs.com/master/3968810-Twenty-One-Pilots-Breach) and in musicbrainz (https://musicbrainz.org/release/1d9a4160-41f8-4c90-8116-82765d736408).

Of course I can edit some data manually, but for some reason the system does not identify it and I would like to know why or if I'm doing something wrong or if i can do something to fix it?

The easiest way to reclaim your server after your password reset is to go to plex.tv/claim, copy that to your clipboard and edit your docker file Plex claim token ENV.

We have recently experienced a security incident that may potentially involve your Plex account information. We believe the actual impact of this incident is limited; however, action is required from you to ensure your account remains secure.

I wish like crazy the Audacious media player had a @plex plugin, so I could play my music with it. That would be the best possible streaming audio scenario I can imagine. https://audacious-media-player.org/

Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

Anyone else noticing faster battery drain on iPad or iPhone since the update? An hour and a half of content has chewed through over 50% of my battery on my M1 iPad, not to mention the device getting very hot.

I must have gone through all the options twice, but can't find it. Not a super big deal, but since you already have the library button below, it's a bit redundant and unnecessarily taking up space.

I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

Oooowhhheeee. What absolute turd of an update. Who decided throwing a gagillion movie posters and buttons randomly on a screen was an “improvement”? Yikes.

The new Plex app for iOS and iPadOS is really bad! The old app Live TV was so much better. #Plex @plex

Shamelessly stolen from another forum site:

Just found out Plex has updated its Privacy Policy page and added a new page to opt-out trackings.

https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

https://www.plex.tv/vendors-us/

Up until now all your playback data may be involuntarily sent to ad agencies and companies such as Amazon to silently influence and target your buyings. Now we can opt out everything and keep your watch habit private and treat your plex server like never existed.

EDIT: now you can also easily access privacy settings and delete all already uploaded watch history, and stop syncing watch states, rating etc. Remember to set all to private if privacy is important to you.

EDIT2: also double confirm "Send playback data to Plex" is unchecked.

Upcoming Plex Pass Price Increase

The price increase applies to new and existing subscriptions, with the exception of existing Lifetime Plex Pass holders.

New USD prices as of April 29, 2025 will be:
 Monthly: $6.99
 Yearly: $69.99
 Lifetime: $249.99

If you’d like to lock in a Lifetime Plex Pass subscription at the current rate of $119.99 USD, you have until April 29, 2025 to do so.

Upcoming Change to Remote Playback for Personal Media

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature.

So Long, Mobile Unlock Fee

Our Android and iOS mobile apps previously required a one-time activation fee or Plex Pass to remove the one-minute playback limitation when streaming content from a Plex Media Server. As part of these changes, there will no longer be any such one-minute playback limitation.

EDIT:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.

Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.

Is there a setting somewhere in Plex or on the server so that some songs don’t play loud and others so soft? Thanks in advance.

Are there any good iOS apps for rating songs while they play in Plex on the TV? I can’t find a way to rate songs using an AppleTV and its remote.

I did try the Plex app on the phone, but you have to leave it as the frontmost app or it will disconnect by the next time you open it (app flushes/sleeps). If it doesn’t disconnect then instead you get a mismatch of what’s playing and what can be rated (album art/track name/rating pane don’t match). There’s also no widgets from the app to do this from on iOS.

Or is there a web app I can run on the server and connect to from the phone’s web browser to rate items as they play?

@plexamp @plex Seeing an interesting/odd server response to an API call from with the Symfonium player - http://support.symfonium.app/t/manually-sync-all-playlists-option/5633/4?u=talios - any ideas why the server (Version 1.41.2.9092 - tho may have been the previous version at the time of this log) is generating wrong output? The server _is_ busy processing sonic analysis on a bunch of tracks tho - could that be related?

I would love to have an easy way to sync up my Photos from #icloud with @plex Any ideas???
