Feature I'd love to see (Win + PS4)

Hello!
First of all, kudos for Plex. It’s great!
Here’s some features I’d love to see in my PS4 app.

  1. AUDIO (PS4 APP) - Seamless play. I find the “gap” between tracks quite annoying. I think this could be avoided pre-loading next track when the current one is about to end.

  2. TV SERIES (PS4 APP) - Continuous play from the first unviewed episode. Now I have two choices: select continuous play and then skip forward to the episode OR play the single episode then select the next one and so on.

  3. AUDIO (WIN) - Auto download artist portraits and album covers.

  4. GENERAL (PS4 APP) - I’d like to be able to watch metadata and infos of audio/video I’m playing (bitrate, codec, etc.)

This is what I thought after first days of using Plex. I also have a problem with libraries. For example:

As you can see, I have multiple entries for the same album. But I double checked and all tags are consistent. Here’s an example of what is inside the three “Reflektor” folders:


But, as I told you, all tags are consistent:

Thank you!

Make sure your Music library is set to ‘Use embedded tags.’ Without that, your tags will be ignored.

You’ll need to refresh the library after making that change. If refreshing doesn’t correct it, you may need to do the “Plex Dance.”

Hello and first of all thank you.
Option was checked and I’ve tried refreshing several times, without success.
About “Plex dance”, it seems to me that it only works for videos, not music.

…and just to be sure, there’s Update Library and then there is Refresh All
You will want to do a Refresh All after enabling Use embedded tags

No, the Plex Dance definitely works for music. It may not be needed in your case, but I’ve had to use it extensively.
