First off, have to say I do really appreciate this feature in PMS. Now, with that being said, I (and I am sure many others) use Let’s Encrypt to automate acquiring and renewing our certs. Let’s Encrypt does the fairly standard .pem files which things like Apache uses natively. Plex of course uses the PKCS12 format, and we have to manually do the conversion. Is there any plans to maybe have PMS support the fullchain.pem and privkey.pem from Let’s Encrypt (Or other sources of course) ---

Hmmm, should I have asked this over in the general PMS section? ---
