i just discovered smart collections , been using "collections" for a while but smart collections you can make your own


already made a few to appear on the home page and you can make them appear on your friends home page too

the 2 i made for the homepage are

"Top 50 Unseen movies of the decade" By imdb rating
"Top 250 Unseen movies of all time " By imdb rating
my followers will get the unplayed movies they haven't seen, not what I haven't seen

to sort by audience rating imdb and then create a smart collection follow this guide



I made a couple more but not for the home page , for the library section ,
Disney movies
spike lee movies
tarantino movies
david fincher movies
top comedy of the 80s
top comedy of the 90s

i might make a couple more

you can make whatever you want
4k movies
top rap albums of 90s, if you have music in plex
top 90s sitcoms
whatever you can think of

Are Pirated Movie Screeners Off Limits Since the EVO Bust?​

A decade ago, nearly all screener copies of all Oscar-nominated films leaked online. Today, these types of screener leaks are non-existent. Changes in the movie industry contributed to this change but the bust of piracy group EVO a year ago had a big impact too. The group's suspected leader was arrested in Portugal and others are still under investigation.

Yup, things are better than they were before. I used to hate seeing somebody record in a movie theater.

Seems like Sony is getting out of the oled tv business and focusing on mini led instead
Is it just the mini led is cheaper and oled doesn’t get bright enough ?

They are not getting out of it. Their master series this year will be a greatly improved miniLED. Means that they will probably not make any change to last years master series, the OLED A95L which came out late 2023 and won most contests as the best TV of the year. That TV and their other OLEDs will still be on sale.

What the fuck is this .... a challenge?!?!?
Do they want us to put back on the eye patches and take to the high seas again.

People just got a little lazy over the last few years because streaming makes everything a lot easier.

That don't mean we forget the old skills. Keep talking shit Hollywood, and see if people don't get the old crews back together to help some screeners 'fall off the back of a truck' during the next award season.

looks like some people who share their plex are getting account banned




so far is only people who have like 80+ users or something crazy

I only share with 3 people

Btw the limit was 100 users you can share with ,so nobody was breaking the rules ,unless they are taking money but how would plex know that

Some people are saying they had a low user count, like under 10, and it still happened to them. Weird. So far mine hasn't been touched but I only have 7 users and they are never all streaming at the same time. We shall see.

I keep it in house, my kids and grandkids have their own in house server running. Sharing outside of your own house is a recipe for disaster. :itsawrap:

Unrelated to Plex but if your here , chances are you use a vpn
I was able to get YouTube premium for $3 a month using PIA VPN and selecting Vietnam as the country in the vpn
The family plan cost $6
Other countries Ukraine did not work for me
Just follow this guide

... Maybe I'm missing something here, but if you are using a VPN already, why are you paying for Premium? Just set it to Moldova or somewhere and watch ad-free for free.

For me I use YouTube not just on phone or tablet but on a couple of tvs , Rokus , Apple TV, smart app , plus family plan is $6 with this hack up to 6 people , not everybody know what A vpn is or how to use it

When you get old you just want things to just work , you do the vpn hack one time and you can delete the vpn and never think about it ,you got YouTube with no ads plus YouTube music which I use every day

Yeah, I got no problems paying for YouTube Premium, especially since I got a family plan and they have no clue how to use a VPN.
Even with IPTV now, it's cool and a lot cheaper than cable/satellite but I'm thinking of switching to something like YouTube TV just because every now and then the shit doesn't work especially during crucial moments of a TV show.
