Rules

Rule 1 - Don't be a dick

Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.


Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.


Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post


Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.

Shamelessly stolen from another forum site:

Just found out Plex has updated its Privacy Policy page and added a new page to opt-out trackings.

https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

https://www.plex.tv/vendors-us/

Up until now all your playback data may be involuntarily sent to ad agencies and companies such as Amazon to silently influence and target your buyings. Now we can opt out everything and keep your watch habit private and treat your plex server like never existed.

EDIT: now you can also easily access privacy settings and delete all already uploaded watch history, and stop syncing watch states, rating etc. Remember to set all to private if privacy is important to you.

EDIT2: also double confirm "Send playback data to Plex" is unchecked.

I tried to delete my history and.... "there was an error deleting your data".

Sure plex. Which is yet another reason most of my viewing is on Jellyfin now.
