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.

    Jellyfin definitely does not feel like it’s a finished product yet, no. I run both and Plex feels a lot more polished. It has automatic collections, duplicate detection, cleaner design, etc.

    Two things I hate about Plex.

    1. Its native WebOS app on LG TVs is incredibly slow. Every action takes seconds. Seeking in the video is quick but other than that, navigating the library is physically painful. Might have to do with my growing library size, but the mobile app is absolutely fine in this regard.
    2. Same TV version now: it is terrible at playing videos with multiple language audio tracks. It just plays the English (first?) track all the time, no matter which track I explicitly select. Super annoying when the kids are watching movies in our language. Jellyfin wins here, but the Plex mobile app is fine also on this point.

    Other than these things, Plex all day. I wish it weren’t so. 😩

      I don’t use the WebOS app but generally default subtitles/audio languages are set on your profile and the apps pick up those settings.

      Try logging in to the web interface and going to your user profile. There is a “Playback” section where you can set your preferred languages. If this isn’t set it likely is taking the default language from your media files instead.

        It works fine on mobile and on the web interface via the same server, so it’s definitely a problem with the TV version of Plex, unfortunately.

        Thank you for trying to help though. ❤️
