I slowly moved to Emby quite a while back. I kept Plex around for it’s DVR function because of the ripping capabilities. Now that it’s broken (and taking so long to get fixed), I don’t see any reason to use both. I may try it again later, but for me, Emby is going to be my focus going forward.
MIne is failing with recordings going to a local, onboard drive on the PC that runs the Plex Server!
Emby is not as good as a media server as PLEX plus more costly
I’ve used both and will argue the opposite.
I tried Emby and it did not perform as well.
PLEX is easier, the metadata works better, and was more reliable,
That is my opinion

Did you give both equally amount of time to form an opinion? Moving from Plex to Emby, for me, has been breath of fresh air.
I was going to reply to a specific message but that would make me the lesser…
…So I did it indirectly…
1, Boeing Joke? who does this help? (your ego maybe?)
2, Emby? Initially unimpressed! And in order to fully evaluate it will cost me $$ (maybe later) (ya I know Plex cost…)(but I paid already…)
3, MCEBuddy? Looks like it was written by a programmer, not a user – terrible interface!!
4, Plex? I haven’t been here long but I don’t see many (any?) replies from Plex staff? A few from moderators whom may or may not be employed by Plex, it’s unclear…
SO Plex! Be nice
I ran both parallel and found PLEX easier, better interfaces and Less Expensive
I used Plex for years. Switched to Emby without any problem at all. Don’t miss Plex the slightest and have found things easier and performance better for me.
I respect your findings though.

Is this considered a known issue? Is it being fixed? Commercial skipping stopped working for me awhile back.
A bug report has been filed. We’re patiently awaiting results.
More than a month ago… one update to break it! Month + plus to fix? REALLY?

So I just booted up a PC that I had shutdown in July. Copied the Plex Com shipper.exe to my current machine that is not working. I scheduled a recording for 1:AM . I’ll update the results to see if it worked.
It’s not like we really have any sort of recourse…they are not going to give us a refund.
I’m going to attempt to determine which update broke it and install the previous version and quit doing updates.
1.18.5.x is the last known good version for this…
I see this as a perfect opportunity for those that haven’t tried Emby yet, to do so. The weeks and weeks (with little or no communication) regarding a fix for a standard feature is a bit crazy, IMO. When you report an issue on their support forums, the Emby team responds almost immediately and works on a fix in most instances.
Does Emby offer commercial skip? Does it work?
Thanks
Does anyone know if there is a page that tracks the status of submitted bugs/enhancements/issues?
My company uses a widely popular open source report engine, and they use a tracking system with a public facing interface. I’ve personally had issues reported, validated, and resolved in < week (not counting their monthly sprint schedule), but also had a few that took > 6 months. They have always been open about their development cycle and never obscured embarrassing issues with their code.
Plex appears to be on a 1-2 week development sprint cycle, so it would be nice to have some type of roadmap/timeline of bugs and enhancements.

@davissd_gmail_com Not built-in (yet). I installed MCEBuddy, it’s a small app that you can set up that does exactly what you want. You can set up different rules and enable/disable per show/directory/etc. Good stuff.
Thanks again. I used that when I have Windows Media Center. I’m sure I still have it installed somewhere.
