Not sure I follow... on unRAID or windows?
-
my unRAID server is static, I will see if the other solutions help out. Using the IP is fine, just a pain for people non-computer friendly since they can't just click the network->MachineName...
-
In the FWIW department, I've got a Windows 8.1 machine, and although it's not my main system, I HAVE used it quite a bit with UnRAID ... and have NOT seen this issue.
I don't think its Windows 8.1 issue, I just think I have something set somewhere messing with it...
I can ping the machine fine at all times and I can browse to it via IP it appears at all times, but via machine name no luck.
-
I was hoping someone with Windows 8.1 (RTM) has possibly seen this issue, as I am not 100% fluent yet with Windows 8.x... If I reboot my machine it can see my unRAID server (5.0) fine, over time however, if trying to browse it \\HADES it just throws a "the Network path was not found" error. puTTY connects fine from windows 8.1 as does the browser, it is only browsing the machine. I tried turning off Windows Firewall as well, but it did nothing, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, its rather frustrating

ive noticed on reboot/update settings are reset in plexconnect despite the fact I am using a cache drive. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
not sure which settings you are talking about ....
you mean the settings of the plugin ?
or the settings from plexconnect?
normally the settings file from plexconnect should survive a reboot for sure and an upgrade normally too as there is no cfg page in the git branch ...
settings of the plugin should be saved on the flashdrive
it is he plexconnect settings, for instance i change the OSD to show a 12h clock

works like a charm for me, this is awesome.
My only feature, if possible to add I would recommend:
Don't start it unless a .perm file is found, since it is a prereq and people skip prereqs (like me) haha. Not a big addition, but if its simple and possible can solve a lot of headaches for people who are new to PlexConnect and didn't go through the whole cert process last weekend.

hi
i just downloaded the packages and made my own md5 hashes and added these to the plg's
in my fork i only changed the python package and the libidn package....
what i still need to do is remove yenc and cheetah from the sabnzbd plg as it is included in piotrasd 's python package... and update the unrar package....
PIOTRASD said it was ok to use his packages...
if somebody finishes the job of completing all upgrades please send me a merge request ... so i can update my fork too....
i am busy finalizing my plexconnect plg
when i try using dumptruck it fails with this on boot (MD5: 644B5F3F14E76AAA5B43F01A50D8DEFA):
Sep 2 22:51:55 Hades logger: installing plugin: sabnzbd_unplugged Sep 2 22:51:56 Hades logger: file /boot/packages/python-2.7.3-i686-5PTr.txz: downloading from https://dl.dumptruck.goldenfrog.com/p/Vq3zpArAKB/python-2.7.3-i686-5PTr.txz?dl=1 ... bad download, deleting
However, this link works fine in browser. One this I have noticed though is that python takes forever to download.
If you manually download them and put them in the packages folder they work fine, so there is definitely something bad with the dump truck links it appears.
I don't use github, or really know how to, but here are the three i have modified... I will keep updating them once I get the links working, but for now this works on SAB, Sick and Couch if you manually download the packages first...

did I see under your commits to influencer that you are working on a plexconnect plugin?

pice of shit
sorry but good luck using packages from slackware 14.0 
i have latest packages but compiled special for unraid slackware 13.1 !
check my link
https://truck.it/p/Vq3zpArAKB im using in all plugins almost 8 mouths without anny issueGuess somebody tried that
ran into issues after a reboot
any objection to use your packages in a new fork / commit ??
sacretagent, are you working on forking all of influencers stuff? Just wondering because I was looking to get python 2.7 into these but if someone is working on it I don't want to duplicate the effort.
trashmagazine
i forked them and added the python packages from piotrasd ....
but then ran out of time... busy at work for the moment...
also not much expertise in this....
feel free to have a go at it ...
might need to open a new thread too as influencer seems to be missing in action ... so not sure when he will merge the commits
Do you have the checksums for the new packages or were you just removing the MD5 checksum part?
Also, is it a safe source to use https://app.dumptruck.goldenfrog.com/p/Vq3zpArAKB to download/connect to each time unRAID reboots? piotrasd, can we use this location?

I was wondering, since most apps (CP, Sab, SB) are using 2.6.6 of python, is there a way to get two copies running on unRAID at load time? PlexConnect requires 2.7 and I wanted to have that enabled to make full use of PlexConnect. If there is I would love to know what I point to and how to do it.
I tried adding the txz file to the extra folder but on reboot it still only installed 2.6.6. Beyond that, if they are both installed how would I tell PlexConnect to use 2.7?
Currently I just say in my GO file "python folder/PlexConnect.py"

You can pre-clear both drives at once if you have available SATA ports ... and they don't interfere with the array at all. But you need to either do it from the console, or via Screen => you CAN do it from Telnet sessions (2 sessions to start 2 pre-clears) .. BUT if you do that, the Telnet sessions have to remain open for the entire pre-clear. I always do it from a console on the actual UnRAID PC.
You're right that a pre-clear of a 4TB drive will take a LONG time ... especially if you do multiple cycles. Given that you NEED to get your drive rebuilt, I'd not do more than 2 cycles, so you can at least get the rebuild done later this week
Anyone know if this is ok?

A. mean I have no parity now (obviously), but does this mean I can't do the above anymore?
B. Does this not affect my plans to do the above, which is replace my parity with a 4TB, and move the parity into the spot of the dead drive?
Actually you have good parity, which is WHY you can still access the missing drive (it's emulated by the other drives) and why you can rebuild the drive by simply replacing it.
You can do the swap-disable process ... but do NOT wait on this. ANY other failure and you'll not be able to recover the data from the failed drive.
drives are coming in today. I need to pre-clear first though, which will probably take like 6 weeks

PlexConnect should be pointing to your AppleTV's IP (the one you replaced with your unRAID IP on the AppleTV.
So Apple TV should have your unRAID IP
PlexConnect should have your AppleTV IP.
I didn't have to change any settings in the PlexConnect settings to point to the AppleTV when I set this up for my parents. I just pointed the AppleTV's DNS settings to the server and started PlexConnect and it worked fine. Your AppleTVs IP could change.
Sorry, been on vacation. That being said, I guess if that is the case I am not sure, I have my apple tv's and unRAID server on static IPs so I never have that issue. But the below steps are based on PlexConnect wiki:

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Post a picture of the Web GUI [Alt-PrtScrn, then paste it in Paint, then save it as a JPEG, and then attach it to a post here]. The array SHOULD go online with no problem, even with a failed disk ... but parity should still be valid, and the failed disk should have a "red ball" next to it. If that's the case, then you should definitely do the swap-disable process as soon as possible, as you're running "at risk" until that's done. [A better approach would be to replace the failed drive with a 2TB drive, so you don't have to simultaneously replace the parity drive; but that would require buying another drive.]
I attached a picture, I plan to do the "Swap both" as I don't want to purchase another drive at the moment. That being said, I haven't done this for about a year now, how do I pre-clear these drives prior to unRAID just detecting them? Can I do that? Do I need to do that? I assume pre-clearing 2 4TB drives will take 4-5 days...

just want to make sure on this, my unRAID server went back online with the invalid drive (assumingly my parity drive took over). Does this

You need to CAREFULLY read the Wiki section on "swap-disable".
What you're going to do is replace the failed drive with the old parity drive and replace the parity drive with a new 4TB drive at the same time. AFTER that finishes (obviously MANY hours), then you can add your other 4TB drive to the array.
These are the instructions from the Wiki:
For swap-disable, you use your existing parity disk to replace the failed disk, and you install your new big disk as the parity disk:
1. Stop the array.
2. Power down the unit.
3. Replace the parity hard disk with a new bigger one.
4. Replace the failed hard disk with you old parity disk.
5. Power up the unit.
6. Start the array.
When you start the array, the system will first copy the parity information to the new parity disk, and then reconstruct the contents of the failed disk.

Thank you, hopefully I don't mess this up
I justr bought two of these, hope they are decent.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/835055-REG/Hitachi_0S03359_4TB_Internal_Hard_Drive.html

One of my 2 TB drives died today, or when I booted up it came up as "Missing" and upon reboot it wont load anymore. So I ordered a new one. My question is though, I ordered 2 4TB drives, one for the replacement and one for a new parity. Obviously I can't replace the parity first, but what happens with my process? Do I need to replace the 2TB with the 4TB, let it setup and then replace the parity? Once the parity is on 4TB do I need to re-setup the 4TB drive as well?

Having some teething issues here - would appreicate any advise.
Changed unRaid web port to 8008 via go script
ATV3 Dns points at unRaid - 10.0.1.4
PlexConnect has DNS master entry 10.0.1.4
Fire it up and it hangs on finding PMS - PMS is running as I can get to the web gui
I'm sure I've got something the wrong way round here!
UnRaid 5.0-rc11.
PlexConnect should be pointing to your AppleTV's IP (the one you replaced with your unRAID IP on the AppleTV.
So Apple TV should have your unRAID IP
PlexConnect should have your AppleTV IP.

It you type
nohup python PlexConnect.py &
into the terminal, what does it say?
If I type it directly, I get this:
[1] 8943
root@Hades:~# nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
If I type it with full path (assuming I need this) I get nothing back:
nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py &
-
Even after a reboot it does not work from the go script?
Also, as I mentioned earlier, to run it from the terminal and keep it running you have to put nohup in front of that command...
Ya, both methods dont work for me, I tried the other one first... :'(

I must be slow... My go looks like this and it wont start unless I have puTTy running and manually run:
python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py
If I close puTTy it dies...
My GO:
#!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p 8008 & /boot/unmenu/uu cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py & unraid_notify start

I got it working, and its soooooo much smoother than the iphone/ipad through AIRPlay... THANK YOU PLEXCONNECT!
I have it running on RC13.
*Make note of your unRAID internal IP, if you have SimpleFeatures it is displayed in the main page in the upper right hand corner
For AppleTV side, please follow this: https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/OSX-and-ATV-with-5.2-firmware-and-ethernet-internet-connection-installation-guide
For unRAID side, please follow below:
1. Change your default port for unRAID to something other than 80, something like 8008.
To do this go to your go file on your flash drive and replace /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & with /usr/local/sbin/emhttp -p XX & (where XX equals the port)
Not sure if needed, but I rebooted here
1. Install python on your Plex server (since I have CouchPotato and Sickbeard running, I already had it), maybe someone can send me some manual steps and I will gladly update with how to do this.
2. Copy the download https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/XML_templates.zip to your destination of choice (below you will notice I used a cache drive).
3. Go to your destination (/mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect) and modify the file Settings.py with the following:
return '8.8.8.8' # google public DNS and replace 8.8.8.8 with the IP you saved from your apple tv
4. go to puTTy and type in the following (you should be able to close puTTy after this):
nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py &
*thanks to mrow
This should get you going.
sorry but good luck using packages from slackware 14.0 
Windows 8.1 Network Share Issue
in General Support (V5 and Older)
Posted
My shares are open on my network, so no saved credentials. That being said, my server comes back fine if I reboot unRAID first, once I reboot my PC though the same thing occurs again. So basically this is the full run down:
unRAID reboot after PC is on:
\\HADES works
\\IPADDRESS works
ping HADES works
puTTY HADES works
PC Reboot AFTER unRAID in on:
\\HADES fails
\\IPADDRESS works
ping HADES works
puTTY HADES works
