First stable release of the v3 line. This is effectively a ground-up rebuild: PlexCache now ships as a Docker container with a full web interface, on top of the original caching engine.

Coming from 2.x, treat this as a fresh setup rather than an in-place upgrade. The wiki has the current install and configuration docs.

Web UI

  • Dashboard with cache overview, storage breakdown, and Recent Activity grouped by run
  • Settings split across tabs (Plex, Libraries, Users, Cache, Schedule, Notifications, Logging, Integrations, Import/Export) with a search bar across all of them
  • Log viewer with live streaming, level/phase/time filtering, and search
  • Maintenance tools (audit, cleanup, restore) that run in the background

Caching engine

  • Smart eviction returns watched media to the array while keeping high-priority media on cache
  • Priority scoring (--show-priorities) shows why an item is cached
  • .plexcached backup: array files are renamed rather than deleted when cached, so nothing is lost if the cache drive fails
  • ZFS-aware path handling and the /mnt/user0 safety rules for Unraid

Deployment

  • Official Docker image, an Unraid Community Applications template, and docker-compose support
  • Runs as PUID/PGID and creates library folders with correct ownership

Plus a long list of fixes across subtitles, mobile layout, notifications, and path handling since the betas. Thanks to everyone who tested them.
