  • tl;dr: Yes, but probably takes some effort for most content.

    Plex will play the files, but metadata is hit or miss. If it’s something that’s on thetvdb or themoviedb, it can be matched as a series or movie, respectively. With some effort, you could also probably include all the relevant metadata when downloading the videos, then have plex use local metadata, which could cover anything not big enough for the big metadata providers.

    I think it’s also possible to find plug-ins/scripts that will pull metadata directly from youtube, but I’ve had bad luck relying on that stuff and then development stopping, so I avoid it these days.








  • Spot on. Even when they’ve been caught doing things most people thought was shady (e.g., last year’s /r/place manipulation), they tend to not outright deny it, but rather admit it and offer a half-assed explanation and end the conversation at that.

    They wouldn’t do something that flagrantly disregards EU/CA privacy laws. If they did it, they’d have have a justification they thought would hold up in court. If they had a justification that held up in court, they’d happily plop it in a comment that’s pinned with a few dozen rewards and ignore any responses after that.
