Greetings Plex pros! Welcome to our second annual Fireside in the Forums event! For those of you who don’t know me from last year’s event, my name is Kevin and I’m a Director of Engineering at Plex. This week, I’m thrilled to be here in the forums, along with several other Plex insiders chatting w…

Thank you very much to the Plex team for the annual Fireside event, I think it’s fantastic! I appreciate last year’s Fireside event, and I’m excited that the playback speed control feature mentioned has finally been implemented in subsequent versions. I have a small suggestion for improving …

[image] rcarman: Can the subtitle offset adjustment be changed to 500ms instead of 50ms? I don’t think we’d ever want to do that, since it would reduce the granularity available when making adjustments. If your current subtitles are really 10 seconds off, then you might actually be better off…

[image] chrisc: Now, all that being said, we do also have some other work in this area of subtitle timing in progress. No specifics to share just yet, but we think folks might find it pretty exciting once it’s ready to release. Auto subtitle sync confirmed!

I can’t say we have any concrete plans for any of those things :sweat_smile: [image] GeorgBB: allow editing of sonically similar artists and albums This is computed programmatically (and recomputed as tracks/albums are added), so I can’t see it being something we’d allow editing.

[image] Ryuzaki_2: Is anything being done to address the seasonal music issue? It’s something we’d like to do, but haven’t come up with a concrete plan around it. One idea we were tossing around was to have a special label/rule which you could apply to an album which the system would check to…

[image] mightydh: 10 year old request for plex to acknowledge there can be more than artist per music track I’d love this too (as the guy who wrote the “hack” to allow a primitive form of this inside Plexamp). Unfortunately it’s quite a large change to the DB schema.

[image] d2freak: Creating a music cloud. For “listen together” or music discovery or such features. You said it was simply too much but at the same time said that the database scales well to volume. Is this idea truly impossible or no? Any other social music features coming that doesn’t require …

[image] PlexUser215671: how much I appreciate that you guys are doing stuff like this to keep in touch with the community You’re very kind! We’ve always loved the community connection aspect from the very start of the project, I have lifelong friends that I’ve met from the greater Plex commun…

If you search through the forums people have been asking for this change for years. Subtitles don’t need 0.05 second granularity. Getting them within half a second is just fine. Or at least display a 50ms and a 500ms button? As far as get a different subtitle, sometimes they are all off by some a…
