They did though. There was a (semi-obscure) forum post where they offered a stand-alone download of the server version that enabled this feature. It didn’t have a docker build, so I couldn’t test it. But from the few dozen people in the post that used it, it mostly got positive vibes from what I saw.
This was an alpha release which then skipped beta straight to public, so the testing pool was fairly small. Those of us averse to pre-release testing didn’t get the opportunity to test and provide feedback before public.
Sorry for the wait, but we decided to push this out with the public release of 1.31.0.
The support article is here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/credits-detection/
The feature has been enabled for all Plex Pass users now running PMS 1.31.0 or greater. It may take a while for your server to pick up the feature change, if you don’t feel like waiting a server restart should kick it into gear.
Please create a new forum post to report issues going forward, as this thread will get locked now.
