September on the server

3 min read

Two hundred films, a faster library, Wrapped and Friday's watch party — the month, written out.

This week

Wrapped is here — and it is a story now

Your year on the server — the hours, the plays, the genre you kept coming back to — no longer has a page of its own. It opens as a story over whatever you were doing, one card at a time, and closes back to it.

  • Open it from the Wrapped slide in the dashboard's Smart Hub.
  • Move through it card by card; a card with a Share button shares just that card.
  • Nothing about it leaves the server unless you share it.

Two hundred films added overnight

The 4K remaster shelf is in, along with the whole Studio Ghibli run. Newly Added has all of them under This week.

Also new in 4K this month:

  • Civil War
  • Fallout
  • Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
  • The Bear
  • Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
  • Challengers

Pro Tip

A 4K file only reaches you as 4K if your app's quality is set to Maximum — here is how.

The library moved to faster storage

Sunday's maintenance moved the whole library to a new NVMe pool. Two things you should notice:

  • Playback starts faster, most of all when you skip ahead in a long film.
  • Transcodes no longer queue behind each other when several people are watching at once.

Nothing to do on your side. If a title stopped playing since Sunday, that is a fault, and worth a report.

Coming up

Watch party night, Friday at 8

Bring a film and a hot take. The room opens half an hour early so everyone can get their audio sorted out before the lights go down.

  1. Open Watch Parties at 7:30 and join the room from the list.
  2. Pick a seat — everyone in the room sees where you are sitting.
  3. Chat stays open beside the film; reactions land on your seat.

Live Trivia rounds, whenever the room is full

When a round is running the sidebar says so, with a live tag beside Live Trivia. Join from there, answer against everyone in the room, and the leaderboard settles it.

Earlier this month

Describe a scene, get the timestamp

Scene Finder searches inside a film's dialogue. Pick the title, describe the moment the way you remember it, and it answers with where it happens — or says honestly that nobody in the film says anything like it.

Nightly backups moved to 4 AM

They were overlapping with the busiest hour of the evening, which is when you would have seen the odd stutter. Nothing to do on your side.

Audiobooks are on the server

A first shelf of 60 audiobooks, readable from any Plex client. Requests for more go through Content Requests, like everything else.

The next good break is in 8m.

  1. 1:15:40Best break

    In 8mLasts 4 min

    When the rowing race starts. Nobody speaks until it is over.

    What you’d miss

    A race is lost by a few feet in front of a crowd. Beautifully shot, and it changes nothing — the conversation straight after it tells you the result.

  2. 1:38:05

    In 31mLasts 3 min

    When the lawyers call a break and the room empties.

    What you’d miss

    Two of the lawyers go back over numbers you have already heard. You are back before the questions start again.

After the credits: nothing extra. You can stop when they start.
