![]() So I'm back to using Plex, which I stopped using months ago because it has a god-awful "feature" where it writes to log files on a regular basis, because stupid. To make matters worse, DS Video is going to be discontinued on Roku TVs as of (according to the support rep who got back to me about the audio issue). Unfortunately, DS Video can't play DTS audio for whatever reason. I was using Synology's "DS Video" app on my Roku TV, which worked great until I started ripping my blu-rays with DTS audio. I'm running a Synology NAS with lots of movies etc. Is there a way to do this? Will it stop Plex from keeping my hard drives spinning all day? If you do, every time Plex runs an update scan and fails to see the offline media it will delete it (only to turn around and rescan the media, download all the metadata, and so on, the next time it’s online).The quick version: I want to point my '/volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/' directory to a black hole, so nothing gets written to it. If, however, you use external drive that are sometimes removed from the Plex Media Server computer, you have media shared on the Plex Media Server that is located on a network share of another computer that isn’t always on, or some other situation where media you wish to keep in your library is not always online, do not check the “Empty trash” option. That way if you delete a bunch of stuff from your media server, Plex will automatically tidy up after you and remove all the entries for that media. all your media is on a specific server on fixed internal drives) it’s a good idea to leave this checked.

This option works for both local files and files located on a network share (that is, a computer other than the one Plex Media Server is installed on), since it manually scans the entire directory structure at the frequency you specify. If you find that automatic library updating doesn’t work for your system, you can always use the “Update my library periodically” setting to set an update schedule. Scheduled Updates: Great for Media On Network Shares Until the library is updated, you won’t be able to watch them. If you’re away on a business trip, for example, trying to catch up on your favorite shows, but Plex Media Server hasn’t updated to include the latest episodes, you’re out of luck. ![]() There’s the media itself (like your TV shows), there’s the actual Plex Media Server that manages your media, and then there are the Plex client applications you access the server from via your Apple TV, your iPhone, or other devices.īecause you aren’t directly browsing the folders that contain your videos, it is critically important that Plex Media Server’s database be up to date. There are three components to the Plex Media Server experience. RELATED: How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your Movies on Any Device) Plex Media Server offers three ways to keep your media collection up to date so you always know what’s available.
