/r/Plex & Chill: Game of Thrones Ep 5

#Listen up r/Plex!

Lets watch this together every week and hope for more greatness like Battle of the Bastards was. If you've never participated in any of the previous r/Plex & Chills, please, come check it out. Also, if you haven't already, please go check out PlexTogether and support the development. It's been a great tool & platform for the community.

What is r/Plex & Chill:

• This time, we will be watching a Game of Thrones together, in sync, and have a live chat alongside on our Discord server (channel: #plex-party), EVERY WEEK.

• Here's how you can join the #plex-party channel:

  1. Head over to the #bot-commands channel
  2. Use the command --join plexparty to get the Plex Party! role
  3. You should now see #plex-party

What we will be watching:

• Game of Thrones, Episode 5 - Eastwatch
• Note: You must have the episodes on your own server, or on a shared server. We will not be sharing them with you, and asking for a Plex share is against our subreddit rules. It should work as long as your version of the episodes are around the same duration.

When is the party:

• America: Mondays, 2am UTC (9pm CST)
• See here to convert UTC to your local timezone.
• Once a show starts, there will be no pausing
• If interested, please give yourself the Plex Party! role in our Discord. Prior to the start time, we will do an @Plex Party! mention as a reminder every week.
• If you miss the start time, you can still join late and sync up with everyone else.

How to join the party:

1. Go to http://app.plextogether.com/#/app.
2. Connect PlexTogether to your Plex.tv account using the pin.
3. Select your Plex player and connect.

• Note: Plex Web does not work.
• For the best experience, please use Plex Media Player or OpenPHT/RasPlex.
• Android and iOS may work, but your mileage may vary.
• The list of supported clients can be found here.

4. Click on Join Room, and select the server US1.
5. Join the room with the following details (case-sensitive): Room details will be announced ~30-60 minutes before showtime in the Discord room

• Use the invite that will be edited in/provided in the #plex-party channel. If that doesn't work, the info will be available for manual join.
• The room will open up around 30-60 minutes prior to showtime

6. Join the live chat on our Discord server (channel: #plex-party).
7. The episodes should start playing automatically when the party starts. See below for troubleshooting or join the Discord channel #plextogether for help.

Party Details

• Please see the Discord channel for the room invite link & party details. Will be posted 30-60 minutes prior to showtime.

Troubleshooting:

• Plex Web does not work, but the Beta Plex Together Player does (or should), however it forces a transcode. Based on our testing, Plex Media Player or OpenPHT/RasPlex have the best results.
• If your movie does not start playing automatically, try playing it manually and it should jump to sync up with everyone else.
• If your stream is not transcoding fast enough, you may have trouble trying to keep in sync with everyone else.
• Try adjusting the PlexTogether preferences by clicking on your avatar at the top left and increasing the "Sync Flexibility" and "Syncing Method".
• Try restarting your client/app, signing out and signing back in, and refreshing the PlexTogether page.
• If you are having troubles with PlexTogether detecting Plex Media Player, try toggling the "Allow Fallback to Insecure Connections" setting (Settings > Web > General).
