<p>So, what are the best Plex Media Server settings?</p>
<p>This is something that can't really be answered because it depends on the use case and your personal preference.</p>
<div class="admonition danger">
<p>Here I will provide some suggestions and try to explain why I recommend these settings. Adjust it to your own liking and keep in mind that it is only a suggestion.

<li>Enter the Plex port you want to use. (default: <code>32400</code>)</li>
<li>Click on <code>Apply</code> and when everything is setup correctly, your Plex Media Server should be fully accessible outside of your network, so you can connect to your Plex server from outside. You may also need to configure port forwarding on your router.

<p>When a change is detected in the source location for a librarys content, the appropriate library will be scanned. This function relies on the computers operating system providing the “something changed” trigger. Some operating systems dont provide this trigger and content mounted via a network will also typically not work. If your library doesnt automatically scan, you may have to set a periodical scan or do it manually.</p>

<summary>TIP - Autoscan - [CLICK TO EXPAND]</summary>
<p>If for some reason ex. your operating systems dont provide this trigger or your storage is mounted on a network (SMB/NFS/Cloud Storage) or your library just doesn't automatically scan, or is just plain impractical, You might want to consider using autoscan. IBRACORP (A Youtube channel I collaborate with) has a video explaining it in further detail.</p>

<p>On low-powered systems (e.g. ARM-based NAS devices), it can be beneficial to run scanner tasks at a lower priority than other tasks. This can help ensure they do not interfere with regular streaming.</p>

<p>This option creates a series of preview thumbnails from a media item when it is analyzed. These images are used by some Plex apps when you move back and forward in an app with the timeline scrubber. Theyll also be displayed in Now Playing when someone is streaming from you so that you can see where they are in the video.</p>
<div class="admonition check">
<p><strong>Suggested: <code>Never</code></strong></p>
<p><em>Besides that, it uses a lot of disk space and high I/O, No one in my family uses FastForward/Rewind but they use the skip forward/backward.</em></p>

<div class="admonition danger">
<p class="admonition-title">ATTENTION</p>
<p>Creating these images can</p>
<ul>
<li><u>Take a considerable amount of time</u></li>

<li><u>Increase the storage space used</u></li>
</ul>
<p>The images are stored in your Plex database location (/config) so <u>be careful you dont fill the drive <img alt="‼" class="twemoji" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/14.0.2/svg/203c.svg" title=":bangbang:"/></u></p>

<p>You can choose to have TV episodes analyzed to try and detect when the “intro” occurs during playback. When detected, apps will then offer a <code>Skip Intro</code> button, allowing you to quickly jump over the intro.</p>

<p>Choose how your Plex Media Server handles secure connections.</p>
<div class="admonition check">

<p>For users with multiple network cards or systems such as NAS or Docker where there is always another network interface which Plex client applications may try to use to connect to the Plex Media Server, with this option you can ensure that your local Plex clients would only try that interface.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>If you have enabled Remote Access enabled and are having Plex automatically map the port (as opposed to specifying a port manually), then Plex Media Server has no control over which network interface is used for an automatically-mapped port. Thus, its possible that Remote Access connections could come through an interface other than the one specified here.</p>

<p>If this setting is enabled, it prevents Plex Media Server from using or accepting the deprecated TLSv1.0 and v1.1 protocols, as well as legacy weak ciphers. May prevent older clients from connecting. The vast majority of users will have no reason to enable this option (and receive no benefit from doing so).</p>
