I spent some time on the Plex forum and found numerous reports of bugs and problems for YEARS that haven't been fixed and lots of people complaining about the same issue. Combine that with the fact that I'm a paying subscriber yet has no way of receiving any official support....I decided to jump ship. Emby is different and takes a little getting used to but the quality so far is far superior. I still run Plex on the same machine as I still need to get my remote users to switch over. But my eventual plan is to completely ditch Plex Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

No never did. And the Plex forum wasn't helpful either. Ive stopped using Plex and switched to Emby. So many problems resolved. Playback issues, 1 second jitter, inability to fast forward or rewind, chapters work, subtitles work better, etc. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I've been on the :Latest for quite some time. I'm currently on 6.0.36.0. I'm seeing issues with my device roaming. Clients are not roaming from AP to AP like they should and are staying stuck, wifi disconnecting entirely and then reconnecting to the next AP, etc. Seems to have really been noticeable after the latest firmware update. I don't have any Wifi6 AP's so Im considering downgrading the controller version. Can I downgrade from the ver 6 chain to 5.14 ?

I assume your talking from within the Plex app? No I don't see that. I don't even see the "advanced" part.

Good thought but no. It's set to high performance and runs other things 24/7. It never goes into low power state. I wish I was better at reading plex logs. But they're Greek to me. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

That was my initial thought as well but no. It's set to 4 hrs Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Ill see what I can throw together as a different client. I know its not a network issue. I'm a network engineer and I know the network part is good. Both the server, Xbox, and Unraid are on the same layer 2 VLAN via a Cisco 3750x switch. The UnRaid server has a 4 member 802.3ad bond. Ive done bandwidth testing at each endpoint, saturated the 1GB links as tests etc. I'm 99.9% certain this inst network related. What I am not certain of is if I have something miss-configured in UnRaid or Plex. I used to run Plex as a Docker in my UnRaid server but slowly I ran out of horsepower and now with other smaller dockers, dual parity, etc I know my box doesn't have the horsepower to run Plex as a docker. I am getting ready to rack a dual CPU Gen 8 dl380p so I could probably use it for testing as another Plex Server. As far as another client Ill figure something out. Maybe Ill cast to a chromecast ultra from the phone app as a test. The smoking gun here has the be the fact that this occurs at exactly 2 hrs in and I mean exactly. Like somebody flips a switch at 2:00:00. I just cant figure out the cause. PS. the current Plex server is a desktop with a 12 thread 5820k CPU and 32GB of RAM. Not latest gen stuff but certainly no slouch.

Sorry but I'm not familiar with the new plex player? Or I've just gotten used to it and forgotten a change. I'm using an Xbox One and I know I'm not exaggerating when I say this has been going on for at LEAST a year. Xbox One app version is 2.55.0.70. Maybe I need to try to find another client device to use to test for a while.

So I submitted this question on the Plex support forum weeks ago but haven't gotten a single reply. Wondering if anybody here has any advice on troubleshooting this issue. UnRaid is my media storage server. Plex server is a hotter Windows machine and accesses the files via LAN. Almost without fail a movie that is over 2hrs long will stop playback at the 2hr mark just as if the file was cut short. You can go back in, restart the movie, fast forward and continue. It happens at EXACTLY the 2hr mark. As in 2:00:00. This has been happening for a long time now. Like 2 years or so. Multiple UnRaid versions, dozens of Plex Server versions, lots of different movie files. I don't know where to begin to even try troubleshooting other than store movies on the local Windows machine and test to eliminate UnRaid as a variable. My initial thought was the disk spin down time. I set it to 4 hours months ago (it was set to 2) and it made no difference. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Minute 16:30 for anybody in the future.

Replaced my r8000 router with a 1u re-purposed server running pfSense. I have a lot of stuff to still do / configure but right now I have lost access to my unRaid GUI and I can't figure out how to fix it. The tower can be pinged by hostname (tower), all my shares are accessible, my wireless controller is still accessible (Unfi docker on unraid), but I cannot access the GUI. I get "this site can't be reached" with an error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. I'm sure im doing something stupid. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Transitioned to the new container and went to the latest 5.10 branch (from the 5.9 branch) before I noticed all the warnings about bugs. Oh well it transitioned seamlessly for me including my old app data folder. Thanks for the work!

What's the purpose of doing this over just using the USB cable? I didn't see this page and gave up using network UPS setup for UnRaid. I just recently installed a Smart-Online 1500 double conversion UPS. I just used the USB and have the network management card purely for remote management and notifications from the UPS. I see load still isn't shown in the above so I'm just wondering what the advantage is over simply using the USB cable. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Done thank you very much for helping me and saving me much headache !

I thought I did but I ASSumed it could only be done on a disk that was not a member of the array. I thought formatting was when a file system format was written to the disc and will invalidate anything previously written to the disk. I've only ever done it when adding a new disk. Perhaps I'm way off base here. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
