I almost threw up just now when I updated my PMS and went to search for an episode only to see completely irrelevant podcast search results in the search window. Looking through settings I see no option to turn this off. I have literally zero interest in podcasts. None of my users have any interest …

Using the web app ( app.plex.tv ) you should be able to go to your account settings and under online sources you can choose to disable it there. I disabled it on mine and search brought up no results (at least not when using the web app) I downgraded my ios version, so not sure if it holds true for …

Thank you SO much. I’m assuming those options are in the account section and not settings because it’s a beta feature, but that is really unintuitive. I would never have thought to have looked there.

I guess as it’s on online source, (like news) you cannot disable it on a per server basis, just on an account basis. I have few plex servers, and disabling it from the account settings removes it from all my servers.

Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but a friend of mine (a shared user) just asked why all this stuff that’s clearly not my content shows up in his plex app. I disabled all this Online Media Sources on my server and thought that also blocks this sources from showing up on my shared users apps? So …

A user with an own plex.tv account (i.e. not a ‘managed’ user) has his own controls for online media sources. Tell him to log in to plex.tv with his plex credentials. Then he can go to this address https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/online-media-sources and disable everything for his account. …

What? Up till now i was under the impression when i disable that stuff on MY server, my users that use MY server can’t see these sources…that’s just ridiculous. Sorry, i know you’ve nothing to do with this, but what is plex thinking? So now i would have to call my non tech-savvy family and guide the…

Agreed. This stuff should be off by default. What irritated me more than this was a huge “recommended podcasts” section on my display. Recommended by who? Based on what? They are nothing I would ever listen to. I think the devs have an agenda with these recommendations which is insult to injur…
