plex-nginx-reverseproxy VS plex-utills

I ended up resetting my nextcloud AIO, following those instructions to the master container and NGINX, then restoring my backup. All good letting nginix handle it now and have plex working properly and securely now. using this https://github.com/toomuchio/plex-nginx-reverseproxy

Cache is disabled, everything is setup accordingly, using this for my nginx config in an attempt to fix performance but nothing.

I have been using a reverse proxy setup for close to two years. I use the nginx config shown in this github. I have configured it all to my local setup with the correct certification files from certbot and have recently renewed the certificates.

This is the universal nginx config 80% of nginx/plex users default from.

I have the same setup, a VPS that proxies through a Wireguard tunnel to my NAS that runs plex. I am using nginx with this config file https://github.com/toomuchio/plex-nginx-reverseproxy

yeah... sadly not getting much information outta there. Was hoping for some CSP errors. Go check out the general nginx config for plex. Maybe that'll help you.

plex-utils

I use the "Hide 4K" script from https://github.com/jkirkcaldy/plex-utills which sets an "untranscodable" tag on anything that only has a 4K copy and not also an HD copy. Then you can lump everything into one Movies and one TV Shows lib, and when sharing with friends, disallow the "Untranscodable" label for those you don't want streaming 4K. Script is setup to run nightly and will remove the tag if you later add an HD version.

Your after something like https://github.com/jkirkcaldy/plex-utills?

I haven't tried it myself yet, but this app will handle it automagically. https://github.com/jkirkcaldy/plex-utills

you could put a label on all 4k content and exclude that label for the users (plex-utils might be able to automate the process)

This is one of the features I'm working on for Plex-utills

--- An alternative is to run this and have a nightly "hide 4K" script run. If this is over your head then you're best off making the separate library and calling it a day.

Working on writing a script for this with the plexapi. It could probably be integrated into this repo and scheduled to run daily, but I'll get you a python script you can run manually with an "are you sure??" prompt today. The idea would be, you'd build a file with titles to never delete and then the script would show you all the other titles with a "lastViewedAt" attribute that is older than X days, with X configurable. Would that work?

Now there will be times where you have a 4K film without a 1080p version and you don’t want your users to try to transcode this file then you can use my app, Plex-utills . In there is a script that will find these files, and add an ‘untranscodable’ tag to those files. You can then use that to restrict your users access to the files.
