linuxserver.io Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Application Name: Plex Media Server Application Site: https://plex.tv/ Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/plex/ Github: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex Pfsense, Plex & VPN Guide Please post any questions/issues relating to this docker you have in this thread. If you are not using Unraid (and you should be!) then please do not post here, instead head to linuxserver.io to see how to get support. EDIT: 11/6/19 We've made it easier to get Nvidia & iGPU hardware trancoding working with this container. This post will detail what you need to do to use either of these in your container. (PlexPass Required) Nvidia 1. Install the Unraid Nvidia Plugin, download the version of Unraid required containing the Nvidia drivers and reboot 2. Add the Plex container and add --runtime=nvidia to extra parameters (switch on advanced template view) and copy your GPU UUID to the pre-existing NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES parameter. There is no need to utilise the NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES parameter any more. This is handled by our container. Intel GPU 1. Edit your go file and add modprobe i915 to it, save and reboot. 2. Add the Plex container and add --device=/dev/dri to extra parameters (switch on advanced template view) There is no need to chmod/chown the /dev/dri, this is handled by the container.

StanC Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have just switched over from limetech plex to linuxserver plex and noticed that all of the Plug-In items (plex\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins) have been removed. In particular I am looking for the PlexThemeMusic.bundle item. This one is needed in order to get theme music for when I use the DVD Order Agent plugin to correctly list TV Shows that should be in DVD Order such as Firefly. I can add it manually but on a restart the plug-in gets removed. Is there a way of adding this and have it survive a restart? Quote Link to comment
scottc Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just checking, Are you sure it is still needed for theme music? there has not been an update to the plugin since Jul 9, 2014 and it is probably not compatible with the latest versions of plex and could be why it is getting removed. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
StanC Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 That is possible - I am still new to Plex. For those instances where I use the DVD Order, if a theme is not downloaded I can add it locally. Quote Link to comment
scottc Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I would try posting in the Plex forums, I think it is probably a compatibility issue with the latest versions more than a docker issue. Quote Link to comment
reluctantflux Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Upon initial install, I'm getting a "you do not have permission to access this server" message. I've installed Plex from other containers in the past, but their appdata and containers have been deleted for a while now. Not sure what's up. Nevermind. Was doing initial setup through VPN. I guess it doesn't like that. Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Does this script Running /etc/my_init.d/99_chown_plex_owned_files.sh. really need to run at every start. It seems to chown my entire plex config folder, taking several minutes. Quote Link to comment
lonix Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Does this script Running /etc/my_init.d/99_chown_plex_owned_files.sh. really need to run at every start. It seems to chown my entire plex config folder, taking several minutes. Yes and no, It runs every time, but it only acctually touch any new file since last startup. (Working on a fix for that aswell). Quote Link to comment
JimPhreak Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just installed the Linuxserver Plex docker and I'm seeing some log messages every few seconds that I'm unsure about.

Haroldkidd Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Does this DOCKER still support PlexPass? I installed this and couldn't find where to enter my PlexPass information. Is there detailed steps to install and configure this DOCKER? sorry I'm new to all this. Quote Link to comment

Ockingshay Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I am moving over from plugins to to this docker and having moved over all the files according to this guide: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201370363-Move-an-Install-to-Another-System I do not see any of my sections. I am hoping it is because of a permissions issue, so i had a look at this guide: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288596-Linux-Permissions-Guide I would like to set the permissions for everything in /config (which i have mapped to /mnt/cache/dockersapps/Plex/) Will this work and would anyone be able to give me the commands to run to make sure the permissions are set correctly? Thanks. Also, i don't understand this part because surely you are not suppose to have the source server running whilst you are copying the files over? Disable Emptying of Trash On your source Plex Media Server, you'll want to disable the Empty trash automatically after every scan preference for the Server. Quote Link to comment

Haven’t done this move myself but here are some thoughts… Regarding permission I believe that it should be Owner ID 99 and Group ID 100 however I believe that this is taken care of when you install this Docker (at least for me). Also suggest checking you Docker mapping so that Plex can see your folders and the Plex is setup to match that. Quote Link to comment
Ockingshay Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 i know it can see the folders, because if i add a section it adds the metadata to the folders already there. The sections must come from a config file somewhere. EDIT: Ok i found it...it's in the Plug-in support folder....for some reason it didn't copy everything over. Quote Link to comment
dirrtyjoe Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm curious if it would be possible to create a version of the plex container with this included: https://github.com/wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder Would love to be able to utilize some of my other boxes. Quote Link to comment
ridge Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Had this docker working without a problem for some time. Remote access worked a treat. Since updating earlier today to the new container, remote access hasn't worked (confirmed by friends outside my network), and on restart the remote access tab will not connect. Server's connection hasn't changed - only change was the update to the Plex container. Anything changed? Settings I need to update? Variables I'm using: PUID: 99 PGID: 100 VERSION: plexpass Thanks! Edited to add: Restarted a few more times and the remote access connects. Friends can see contents of my server, browse, etc. But nothing plays outside the network. I added a /transcode path in case that had anything to do with it, but didn't seem to help. Quote Link to comment
funtek Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Having this weird problem since the most recent docker update and plexpass. Previously, plexpass worked fine. But now, if I have VERSION = plexpass, it says it's upgrading in the logs, but nothing happens for a long time and the webui is unavailable. If I set it to VERSION = latest, the it starts fine and I can access it via the webui. Not a big deal, but not sure why that's happening. Quote Link to comment
