I have since then resisted the temptation to update. Again, it helps to follow the recommendations on the Plex website on naming conventions and syntax. It took a few hours to fix everything, but it's done.

I have nearly 600 movies cataloged, plus a helluva lot of captures, documentaries, music. For really stubborn ones, you have to delete *all* the bogus fields (director, year released, everything) and re-enter. This won't invariably solve the problem, just reduce its incidence.

If it's a movie for which there's an original *and* a remake (Red Dawn, Conan the Barbarian, etc), append the year to the title. Then carefully rename the file, paying attention to the recommended syntax. Best in that case to move the file to another, unshared location and rescan the database, then delete the 'trash'. Yeah, it's a bastard when it misidentifies a file and your edits won't 'take'. Now the question: Is there an alternative media server, compatible with Roku, that does not require the sophistication of a technically proficient person to use? Thank you for your attention.ĭunno of anything better than Plex for the Roku. By the way, after the application's built-in Uninstaller, there are left behind some 30,000 files, not to mention the hundreds of registry ones.

I, a short while ago, installed the latest update. When a file is properly identified and selected, I must say, PMS works. It fails to catalogue files definitely on my computer, incorrectly identifies music files, for instance, as movie ones, misnames files, displays totally unrelated posters for files that then require a one by one search to locate, displays files not on my computer, does not save changes I make, despite assuring me it has, and so on. PMS has a number of defects and deficiencies, as I'm certain many of you already know about, but in my experience with it, it is often sorely confused. Wanting to expand streaming to include downloads and other files on my computer, I installed Plex Media Server. It works very well with all streaming channels to which I subscribe. I understand that some of these issues may require a post on the Plex forum, which I intend to do, but some may be issues with the Roku setup.This is my first post, so if I flub accepted form, or protocol, please advise me of same so I may correct it in future. The best measure is to play at the 'original' data rate. This of course can create a problem if I lower the playback rate, because transcoding kicks in on the lowly Pi computer which cannot handle it. no wifi issues), the Plex movies buffer all the time, especially if over 12mbps data rate. BTW, the dad has told me that 4k content from Netflix is 'dark,' which tells me that he may not be getting HDR from his Netflix channel, either.Īlso, even when the ROKU is connected via ethernet and the little Pi media server is connected via ethernet (i.e. Difficult for me to determine if 4k content is actually displayed as such.

(They had an older Ultra model.) Their TV the Roku recognizes as 4k HDR10, but no content that is HDR displays as such (not sure if this is universal, but no 'HDR' notification in the upper right corner comes up). I can watch the movie without interruption.Īt grand kids home, they have a Sony TV, new. All movies display just fine, little to no buffering or if so, only at startup. At home the Roku Ultra (latest model) is connected to the server via Ethernet and the Pi connected via Wifi. I have a RAM disk setup on the Raspberry to help with any transcoding.
