Greetings Plex pros! Welcome BACK to our annual Fireside in the Forums event! My name is Kevin and I’m back with our amazing group of Plexians to answer your questions and listen to your feedback. This has been an interesting year, and we are excited to hear what you have to say. This event is al…

I was going to come in here and reiterate my feedback from last year – that Plex’s internal metadata is not merely bad, it is terrible, perhaps the worst product level metadata offering I’ve ever interacted with, and this is an entirely self-inflicted wound because just not doing metadata and deferr…

I know I’ve asked this a few times over the years at this point, but Plexamp is by far my most dominant use-case for my server sooooo I’ll ask anyway: is the fabled “whole home audio” for Plexamp still on the radar? I don’t think this was asked already, but, as with previous years, there are a ton …

My Question is pretty much the same as last year: What is the state of the supposed alternative for 3rd party Metadata Agents? Last year, it was stated that you wanted to “double down” on the Server side and with the removal of 3rd party agents on the Shield, that there will be an alternative to th…

Is there any hope of bringing back “watch together?” I really miss this feature and used it regularly. Fireside Awesome Question! Answer Post Is there any hope of bringing back “watch together?”

I primarily use Plex to watch anime where your average episode is about 22 minutes. I’ll usually watch 2-3 episodes when I get home from work before going to bed. My question is, would it be possible to set up some sort of “watch pool” that consists of a selection of shows? Clicking it would queue …

That’s right, I’ve also used the PlexHTPC app, but it’s nothing like the browsing experience I had with Plex Preview. For macOS, it should be very easy to publish the same app as on iPadOS/tvOS.

Rather than simply listing the year of release, could Plex support displaying the full release dates in the web/mobile apps and players? I’m thinking specifically when in movie pages and actor filmographies. I might be wrong here, but it seems simple enough to implement? Would be a nice little QOL …

Alternatively just add 80’s Playlist as a genre to any track you want in the playlist then create a smart playlist track genre - is 80’s Playlist This way you can filter your library by this genre and sort by artists

Hello everyone! First - a huge THANK YOU to all of the questions, comments, and participation in the Fireside this year! We aren’t done yet, but we are going to be wrapping up the question thread later today while we continue working to respond to as many questions as we can throughout the rest of P…
