Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn’t provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

      tldr: searches metadata websites for movies and TV shows, and then adds thing to Jellyfin.

      You can even then tell your *arrrr stack

      https://trash-guides.info/

      to report things that succeed/fail to external services like Telegram.

      What I do find weird is actually searching the Plex server I have access to for media

      Like, I could? But what I like doing is abusing another family members fibre connection to request things for both of us, that then appears in their Jellyfin magically.

        Neat.

        I have no issues with downloading stuff as I usually just download boxsets once a season has finished. All that is manual for me and I have no issues with that side of things. I think Jellyseer honestly wouldn’t really help my issues with Jellyfin. Jellyfin has:

        • Poor design (by comparison)
        • Poor/inconsistent UI navigation in certain cases
        • Seemingly no deduplication/combining duplicates
        • Maybe something else I’m missing from Plex

        But since Plex is so bad on my TV, Jellyfin is still better sometimes. 😅

          Yeah I was gonna say, Plex has a terrible UI and is why I stay away from that crap.

          Jellyseerr thou is something even my less than tech savvy peeps I know just punch stuff into and making the Telegram channel make noises. I should really turn those notifications off.

            Plex has a terrible UI

            Better than Jellyfin. What I meant by terrible on my TV is that it’s painfully slow.
