Plex Media Server - How To Consume Your Media In Style

[aussiebbq]

ok so im at this point in trying to put it into utorrent, however my list does not show up its just blank, is there something special that you did to get it to show up, i click the rss downloader and the dialogue box pops up but no list in there like yours has.

You have to manually add it one by one.

You have to manually add it one by one.

And how do I do that?

I've already added them to my Rssshows list, if I add those shows again manually in utorrent how will they match up to my list I'm rssshows and download the correct show?

[bush_basha]

Ok so I just watched a video of it, entered it manually and it seemed to work fine. I think I understand it now, I couldn't work out why I had to make a list twice, but it seems the Rss website is purely for information to utorrent or such keeping it up to date?

How do I make utorrent download the new episode say in a days time or a week down the track, do I have to keep updating feed or will utorrent do it automatically refreshing itself from now on?

[macca_779]

The rssinfo list is essentially the links to the shows. The list you put in utorrent is how it manages them. Ie folder to save to.

Depending on the settings utorrent will refresh the feed periodically. Ever 30min for example. The rules will be in effect when ever a new show comes up.

Fwiw. Screw utorrent. It's full of junk these days. I use qbitorrent

As Mac said qbitorrent takes a lot of beating & been using it for a few years now.

And the servers are at work connected by a 450mbps wifi like so I don't have to hears them fans

Qbitorrent, what's so good about it and what junk is utorrent filled with? I've only ever used utorrent and its seemed fine for me, I'll have a look at utorrent though.

With my plex trying to play 720 TV shows or 1080 movies I'm assuming it's the size it stops and starts and bring up a dialogue box on the TV saying the server is not powerful enough for smooth playback. Is this a common problem or because my laptop is on wifi?

uTorrent shipped with some dodgy stuff (a bitcoin miner I think it was) a while back. Never had any dramas either and I didn't pick up the dodgy software that supposedly auto installs.

Does anyone else have the issue when you select subtitles for movies it doesn't want to play back the movie?
I want to select the subtitles because some files I have allow the foreign language to show in English etc but plex just does not like to play them it will just stop and load and play then stop and load and it comes up with an error saying it can't playback

Can't say I've had that issue. Try adjusting your player settings to burn the subtitles in. That way the plex server is doing the work

My player is set to burn subtitles in always.
I believe the subtitles it's using is actually downloaded with the file so maybe it's trying to load both and not working real well, I don't know.
Do you watch yours in a console or TV and when you have a foreign audio does the subtitle come up?

I turn subtitles off

So how do you watch an film that is normally English but the some spots in has a foreign language?

You will find those movies will have hard coded subs that can't be turned off. Also if need be you can find subs only for those parts. Lord of the Rings series has something similar with the Elvish to english subtitles for example.
