Of course you can’t use sync and/or download with a poor cell signal. LOL. How is anything spose to work correctly if you have little to no signal. Downloading data needs good signal. This makes absolutely no sense.
Dear lord. Its like you are intentionally misunderstanding stuff to be argumenative. When i say sync and download doesnt work when you have little to zero signal I am obviouslt talking about playing thise downloads NOT ACTUALLY DOWNLOADING THE ITEMS. Holy hell…this isnt that complicated. Starting to sound like you work for Plex and were sent here as their human excuse machine.
But even if you wern’t actively downloading something you will still need some signal to login otherwise the app won’t work at all but it’s always been like that unless of course you’re directly on the LAN with a whitelisted IP address.
NOW YOU ARE GETTING IT. Other apps that use downloads, such as Netflix, place the priority on downloads over streaming…that way if you dont have a signal, you can still watch your downloaded content. If i need a signal to watch downloaded content, the entire option is pointless.
It wouldn’t be necessarily pointless because one could still log-in with a low signal which is still needed but use the download because of the low bandwidth.
You have flip flopped your stance on this depending on what i saybjust to be argumenative. The app is trash, they have sdmitted to the glitches i have mentioned, and have done nothing becsuse they are more worried about adding features no one wants or cares about. Thats the situation point blank.
The app plays videos for me. I use it successfully everyday.
You should re-read some of your past comments all the way back to January before you call someone else argumenative. The shoe is molded to your foot.
You keep proving my point. It isnt a video player. It is a media server designed to organize and keep track of your media. If i wanted a video player i woukd use VLC. And pressing the issues on problems not being fixed isnt argumenative …it means i want the producr finally fixed. Further more, pointing out if have been waiting for the samenissues to be fixed since January (at the least) further proves mt point…thabk you.3
It does exactly this for me VERY well.
It doesnr keep track of finished episodes between android and the server…it doesnr work for amy of the half dozen people i knownusing android wirh Plex.
That’s a lie. The Android app has no issues keeping track of finished episodes. All episodes I watch that haven’t been watched then subsequently watched fully are marked finished.
Before you call someone a liar, tough guy, go and google it and you will find more than a few threads on the issue. As far as lying goes, i have talked to numerous people about your “flawless” script and they all have used the term “garbage”, “junk”, and “amateurish” to describe it.
Why would I google a problem that I clearly don’t have nor does anybody else. I’m sure the issue is between the chair and the keyboard like most. But even if I did have the problem wouldn’t I search here in the fourm instead of google? This is, after all, the place where everything is reported.
Never have I said the script is flawless, but you just did so I thank you for that. It does indeed work for what it’s made to do in the restrictive nature of nginx scripting. But clearly this statement of yours is also a lie. i’m sorry you wern’t ever credited for providing a temporary solution to a long time issue but that still isn’t a reason to be rude and obnoxious.
Try helping here instead. Maybe the CEO will share his second pool with you. We don’t like people peeing in our pool so probably not.
I attempted to reproduce the issue of offline, downloaded media not being marked as played when the client reconnects to the server but was unable to do so. As soon as my Android mobile client reconnected (with the Plex client running), it updated the played status on the server.
This was my process:
- Marked a movie unplayed on the server;
- Downloaded that movie via the Android client Plex app;
- Disconnect that client from the Internet by disabling Wi-Fi (it has no cellular connectivity);
- Played the downloaded item;
- Verified it was marked as played on the client, but not on the server;
- Reconnected the client to Wi-Fi, with the Plex app running;
- Checked the item on the server to verified it had been marked as played (it was).
Is there something I’ve missed here which is required to reproduce the issue?
i just went on vacation and watched a movie that didn’t mark as played. got about 3/4 the way through it. then when i tried to watch the rest at the location when i landed and went to play it was still marked unplayed (presumably pulling data from the server) and then i had to find where i had stopped watching in the movie. it happens to me fairly frequently over the years that i am marking content as played when i get home from trips because it didn’t update after i watched it offline.
