Question:
YouTube Library: In order to avoid the insane number of YouTube ads I see, I have started downloading YouTube videos for offline viewing automatically. The problem is, they don’t really fit into Movies or TV Shows. Are there plans to expand into this type of content?
Answer:
We do support an Other Videos library type where you can put media like this but will need to provide your own metadata. My guess is that the real question here is: does Plex ever plan on supporting additional metadata providers for things like youtube videos? The answer is no, but we have released the PMS API documentation and you are welcome to build you own if you are so inclined!
Question:
Cast profiles: So there seems to be two different systems going on when it comes to the profile pages of cast members. … Are there any plans to sync these two worlds together or have a settings option to let one choose which they’d rather see?
Answer:
This is an area that we have worked to improve in the new experience. Before this, what would would see would be scoped to either the full media universe context (discovery tab) or scoped specifically to a PMS (only movies in my library). In the new experience we tried to bring these together into a more universal experience.
