I work for an Australian indigenous media company and we’re looking for a solution that will allow content to added to an archive with custom metadata and that content being deliverable on the local network via the Plex server.
Is this sort of thing possible to develop with Plex?
That seem to me to be already supported. Plex can already deliver videos through:
The plex client (on pc, or samsung/other branded smart TVs) would have the series or movies with fanart, poster, theme songs, and many metadata supported.
The content has to be in libraries which are tv series, movies, audio …
Here are the metadata fields available: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle/wiki/Plex-Metadata-Fields-Available
Thanks for your response.
We’d like to be able to add custom metadata fields. (tags won’t really do it for us.)
This system would be for content we have created ourselves. Just imagine a community TV station offering their local content via public wifi. That’s basically what we’d like to do, but sync the content to 13 communities in the remote outback using a QNAP NAS server in each community.
There is a high-demand in media organisations (and libraries) for an integrated system to ingest digital media for archival purposes and enable public viewing of that content. If this could be setup on a NAS it’s a no-brainer.
I am just in the process of finding out what is feasible and what kinda budget we’d be looking at.
I gave a list of the fields available. You could use “collections” to add tags, and all permissible fields would be there
You gave little specifics to the extend or type of fields.
Maybe Kodi with XML metadata would be a better match

if you need a web interface, Plex would be a must but you will have to make do with Plex fields
Why not use web pages and windows network share if all is needed is custom metadata and videos?
Won’t work from TVs like plex on samsung TVs though…
