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.

This has been a huge bummer, because I was curating old shows complete with old commercials in between.
Theres an *arr relative that allows you to craft channels from your media and use the Plex live TV system to display the channels in the EPG. Although I don't remember what it was called at the moment and I don't know if it handles commercials, but it's on my backlog somewhere...
Didn't Plex used to do something like that natively? It would simulate live TV using your library, right down to being half way through an episode when you switched to that channel.
Hey, at least it's a place to start looking, thanks! I've been avoiding the whole *arr ecosystem because I'm lazy dammit and already have a backlog of too many personal network projects I fail to commit the time and effort to. This may be the final push to give in, but we'll see haha.
I think you'll be happy with the *arrs. They're easy to set up, highly automated and a great way to collect media.
This probably doesn't help, but I use watch together by going to the individual episode and clicking it there. Of course, for a playlist or TV show that means you have to click it for every individual episode.
In my opinion, since it stopped working entirely, any and all help is appreciated. So cheers and thanks for the suggestion.
