Pro Week ‘25: Fireside in the Forum Question Submissions

I’m back a year later with my 2024 punchlist because communications have ceased on those issues along with some new ones:

  • Hi Elan - Any plans to nuke music from Plex Media Server and rewrite so that we can finally have more than one artist per track. I would pay for another plex pass / bounty for this option. Plexamp is great, but majority of my music is wrong so I stopped using PMS for music. [10 year old request]

  • ETA on Nvidia Shield TV extras working on a per season level. Every other lesser device is supported. [September 2021]

  • ETA on Global Lock for poster option and just be done with it, forever. Movie posters are changing randomly to Gracenote’s unbelievably poor posters at random times. Plex employees can’t find the bug, so just give us the lock. [February 2024]

  • ETA on Disable Logos globally option- they look cheap. Just give us the option like we have been begging for. I don’t look forward to logos when the new UI is forced onto the shield. [November 2024]

  • ETA on Backdrops wrong aspect ratio fix? Why can’t we have a 16:9 option? 4:3 is offensively wrong and I don’t believe any exec at plex dogfooded backdrops. @nolankotulan gave Plex,Inc $50,000 in free consulting services to solve this issue [November 2024]

  • ETA on my ticket to remove the “add to watchlist” advertisement (popup on the shield) when I play a local trailer, using media on my server that I personally ripped. Plex employees refuse to get me a ticket number and are combative in the thread. I’m not the class of plex user who will ever use a watchlist or discover and this advertisement is offensive. [December 2024]

  • ETA on answering emails from NVIDIA on audio dropouts and sync issues with seamless branching on 4K TrueHD/Atmos can be fixed on the shield. It’s been a few years. Plex employees have refused to update us paying users since June 2024. [February 2022]

  • ETA to remove “browse libraries” from the homescreen of the new UI. There is no way this is on purpose, because libraries is less than one inch below. [June 2025]

Edit: let’s use Jeopardy rules to see if we get some responses.
