Nice new Music library

Super nice new music thing.

 

But cant play the music videos plex serves up.

Clicking any video comes up with " There was a problem playing this item "

 

Investigating the issue a little further.

And went to the vevo.com

This is what that told me.

 

"OOPS! THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION.
VEVO is working hard to make sure all of our videos are available worldwide. In the meantime, watch your favorite music videos through VEVO on YouTube, and follow us on social media for updates! "
 
OK not good.
 
Guess I should read the fine print, at the very bottom of this page
 
** Vevo music videos are currently available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, UK, United States.
 
This makes me wonder !
Why would Plex implement a feature, that more that half the world can't use ??

Because the other half of the world can!

Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, UK, United States.

That's not half of the world in my humble opinion! Not even close!

I just upgraded my Plex server and saw the new premium music feature.  How is this different than the current music library feature?  I am assuming I don't have to rebuild my music library from scratch being it's all in plex already.   I went to a few artist pages to see if there were videos that were linked and it doesn't seem to show that information.  The biographies are all there as well as the background pictures -- but again that was working before this new "premium" music feature.   Can someone help me get what the new feature is bringing and how it goes back and works with an existing music library already in plex?

You'll have to create a new [music] library, if you have the latest PMS installed, you'll get prompted whether you'll want a basic or a premium library. But before you do that, make sure the 'Plex Premium Music' is listed above 'Local Assets', because then it'll fetch the data from the new magic Gracenote thingy :)

It looks / works realy great thanks for this new feature !

Ok just to close this.

Vevo, could not handle the second half of the world.
So the service closed.
