I just couldn’t seem to find what I was looking for so I will ask. I would like to know the optimum file setup for PLEX. I have about 100 movies in all different formats and would like to convert them to one single file type that works best on PLEX. I will be using Handbrake to do this. I am sorta n…

[image] bearhntr: See what it is doing in the OCR? Now you know why NOBODY likes OCR sessions. If ur gonna do a good job you have to ‘Fix’ all that stuff that comes up broken like that - and if you start adding corrections and additions to your Dictionary, as well as ‘Ignoring’ some lines an…

[image] bearhntr: OK. Here is what I am seeing – This is another movie - but looking at them - they all look like this: [image] That means you need to select PGS - NOT F.A.S. <—and at no time do you want Foreign Audio Scan: If it does something - I don’t know what. You can, at this point ‘…

Regarding your HEVC - I’ve been making some tests. They look great, but 4 hour encodes are not something I have time for - literally. At my age I want to be doing something else when I drop dead.

@JuiceWSA , It was not too bad doing the OCR on that film. Most things caught were NAMES. I changed the SPACING requirement for something to be considered a space from 8 pixels to 12 pixels - and it fixed that breaking of words issues (seemed to be occurring for words in ALL CAPS (indicating perso…

[image] bearhntr: There are one in there (where the Na’vi" are speaking in native language) and it is putting those words on the screen (show in yellow and different font) - the Subtitle Edit is doing weird things. I will play with that too. I just thought it was funny. Those subs ‘may’ be bu…

@JuiceWSA , Update. Yes, when I created the .MKV files - I added the English (PGS) into the .MKV (as that container allows for them). I had to search some of the files I created with MakeMKV to make sure I got the correct SUB file. So I tried the following. In the E:\MOVIES folder - where I ha…

Try this: [image] Video File Naming Desktops & Laptops With LMA in priority, Embedded Titles within MP4/M4V files are preferred - even over a perfect file name. Local Media Assets should - AT ALL TIMES - remain enabled (unless specifically instructed to turn it off). Loc…

I do not agree. I find “Local media assets” a totally worthless setting and I turn it off and move it to the bottom of every section it appears in except “Personal media” where it can do no harm. I also fail to understand why Plex defaults such a potentially harmful function to the top of and most …

I use subtitles - so LMA must be enabled. It does far more harm than good being at the top of the list, but it should be enabled at the bottom by default. Tilting at Windmills - but there it is.

I, too, use subs for the films in a language I do not speak at least conversationally. However for those movies I burn the subs into the video when I run it through Handbrake. However everyone must make their own choices and that is why I believe that LMA should default to off and the bottom of the…
