>If I import something its scanners cant' scrape metadata for, it might as well not even exist. Its not displayed to me at all. I have to fiddle with title and re-scan until its metatdata scraper finally realizes what it is. You can use the 'Fix Match' option within Plex and tweak it's search parameters (usually just title and year) until it matches. Alternatively you can paste stuff like IMDB IDs into the field and it'll match based on that instead. For some titles with obscene names etc, that's the best way to get an accurate match. >They've gone to some dark patterns to convince you to make a plex account and log in, just to talk to a server on the same LAN. Settings -> Network -> List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth -> Put your LAN subnet in there. >They now hide your content and promote their own streaming content in a tv-channels like grid. I don't want any of that, I just want my movie library, don't make me scroll for it. Yeah that's a bit annoying, but can be fixed: Use the 'pin' functionality to force your libraries to the top. This applies even for unauthenticated users (just tested in a private tab). I ditched Plex a few years back due to UI annoyances. I've come back because they're mostly resolved, and honestly the alternatives (Jellyfin etc) aren't great. I chucked the money at them for a lifetime pass as well (mostly for PlexAmp), so I guess I'm pretty invested now :)
