So a TL;DR here is this:

I run Plex Media Server within Docker and it was crashing daily; when it would crash, somehow it was also either taking down my entire Docker server or somehow hamstringing it causing other weird issues Docker-wide (don't ask me, I have no idea how, but it did).

After looking through the PMS logs I kept seeing something along the lines if this (note that the numbers 1.40.0.[etc.] are just the PMS version number and will change over time):

I know at some point in time we've all come across these terms while searching torrents and NewsGroups, but what the Hell do these terms really mean?

These words all describe the QUALITY of a video in one way or another, as released by the "scene". I recently came across a great page with information that describes them all very well, and I wanted to re-post here for posterity, and to help more people find the answers:

Here's a great lil Chrome Browser extension I whipped up to make "quick-viewing" of your Organizr server that much easier.

Just install it, and enter in the URL to your Organizr installation in it's settings area, and you'll get your Organizr page loaded up in a small window when you click it's icon on your Chrome toolbar.

Need to Enable Logging (or Disable Logging) in your Plex Media Server? Here's How.

A very quick "How To", to show you how to immediately do a library update and / or optimize your Plex Media Server (PMS) database (library), through Plex.

1. Made some changes to your Plex folders outside of the Plex interface, such as recently added files, movies, music, or whatever, and need to have PMS see them NOW instead of waiting for it's scheduled update check?

2. Want to make sure your PMS library is nice and cleaned up, running fast, not using up unnecessary bloat on your hard drive, etc.?

Plex Media Server Search Doesn't Work. No Search Results.

Symptoms

I've recently run into a long lasting problem with my Plex Media Server (PMS), where doing any search, be it in the PMS web interface itself, or any of Plex's apps, would always end up with "No matches found." Even if I was looking directly AT matches right on the screen, with my very own eyes (which are still pretty good, I might add, even at my age. ).
