I am really sorry but I'm not very good at clues. I have given a full description of what I have done and am getting nothing but vague clues that are no real help to solve why my GPU is not being used by plex when streaming my media remote

It would help if you'd tell me what the proper one is to link as I am at a loss.

I read and followed the howto which did not give the desired result. I then found a more recent explanation that said that the --runtime=nvidia should not be in the extra parameters but in the additional parameters should be and in the extra parameters what I put in there. Neither options made the GPU be used by plex. Whatever I tried Plex keeps using the cpu to transcode

I have been trying to get plex to use my Nvidia GPU for transcoding and have followed all the instructions However, when streaming content remote Plex is still using the CPU redlining it while the GPU is not doing anything What am I missing. I have also had the variable NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES with set to all but that did not seem to do anything either and removed that since. If anyone has been able to make this work I would be very grateful for a pointer in the right direction. I have read and also followed the instructions at the top of this topic. This did not work and the CPU keeps being used by plex to transcode. The GPU seems not to be doing anything while the CPU is redlining. I have also used the setting where --runtime=nvidia was put in the extra parameters. Did not make any difference. GPU still not been used by plex. Thanks

I am running Unraid 6.12.8 in an HP Tower with an Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz CPU The only thing the server is really running is the Plex docker with content on 8TB mirrorred data array. The CPU is randomly spiking on all 8 threads to max capacity. I am wondering if the capacity of the CPU is enough to run this set-up and would very much appreciate some insight.

I have the same issue but no access to a keyboard and monitor to plug into my server. One moment everything was working and now I get the message unable to connect. I am at a loss. I have reset the router to factory settings I have looked at the firewall and proxy settings on my linux machine that I am trying to connect to the unraid machine with. Is it possible that a security setting has been enabled or disabled that I am not aware of?

Where do I delete codecs as I have no idea. Older mkv H264 files play fine only the recently added ones will not playback

plex wont playback new added movies. I have updated my unraid and the plex docker but now when I add a movie to the share Plex won't playback what I have added.. It can see it and will show the poster and see the file but when trying to play the new content nothing happens.

I tried to login to my tower/docker through ip addres. On the login interface I have given in my username and password as I remember it to be. However it does not accept these details. Password recovery leads to nothing useful. What is the easy fix, if there is any?

Thank you! that did the trick

I have changed address and isp. The new router has a different ip address from when I set up my unraid server. When I try to connect to the docker like I used to in the old situation by just typing the ip address. Now when I type in the ip address that the computer where the server is installed on I cannot connect to it. When I go to my dashboard in Myunraid.net I get a 'no server connected' message (see screenshot attached) The flashdrive from which that computer boots Unraid up is inserted and seems to be working. What am I not seeing/missing? Why does it points me to download connect? I can't find where to even download connect from as it is nowhere to be found in the community apps. (would be very handy if in those instructions a link was inserted that leads to the right place) In short, HELP, I would like to be able to access my Unraid server again.

Newbie question here. How does Krusader work to transfer files from my Linux mint Cinnamon Vera to my unraid server? Or doesn't it work for that? I can't see my laptop when opening Krusader on the docker in unraid. Also, is Krusader only for text files? I am trying to transfer my entire media library from my linux mint Cinnamon Vera to the Unraid server and get random time-out errors. None on the Unraid help forum seems to be able to give me any solution for this and the general consensus seems to be that krusader is the app to use for file transer. However, I cannot find a clear, in laymans terms how to use Krusader tutorial in the support of Krusader. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is a link to watching a lengthy Youtube video (not my favourite thing to do but if it is the only way to learn how to use Krusader, needs must)

I've changed the cables to new ones. The NIC is new. Could the solution be not to use the cache when transfering files from pc to server?

after fresh install Linux 21 Cinnamon Vera on PC the connection to my unraid server still has the same time-out error it randonly had before under Linux 19. I am at a loss. What can be causing this? There is nothing in the logs that shows anything untowards. Is there something simple I am missing?

File transfer on laptop running linux mint cinnamon 21.1 is instant. Suggesting it is indeed the linux pc running linux 19 causing the issue.

i have windows surface. Ill see if I can move files from that to the sambashare

Sorry, I thought I had given all information that would be needed. Attached the diagnostics fle now tower-diagnostics-20230126-1126.zip

Being fairly new to both linux and Unraid I am not sure which system it is I need to be looking at to find what causes the error. As I said in the tag line. I have currently a number of files in folders on my pc that runs on Linux 19 (will upgrade soon to 21) The PC is part of my network which runs on Unraid (screenshot attached) I am in the process of putting my DVD collection on my server to be able to watch anything anywhere using Plex. However, I do this on the PC and then have to transfer the files to the samba share. Randomly it will error during the transfer and as of yet I have not been able to determine what exactly causes the time-out. The strange thing is if I try the same file transfer again it sometimes times out again or it might go uninterrupted. Being new to both systems I have found that it is possible that the system has an SMB value of smb1 and I could up that to SMB3 but the command that I have found that should enable me to change the smb.conf file gives a command not found in my terminal Any help (in layman's terms) would be greatly appreciated. I do want to very much learn the right way to do things and have my system run smoothly

Have tried to find the cause but as of yet unable to and no new file permission issues have risen yet. I do have another issue, which I probably caused myself when setting up plex on unraid. I accidentally created a transcode folder within the transcode folder. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. All the topics with this same or similar issue give a solution that is utterly incomprehensible to me

Thanks, Issue solved

I think I have much of the same issue going on. I I run a linux system with Unraid. My files are in a sambashare and eventhough I have read write permissions I can't delete files from folders What is it I can do to get those files deleted

is that this one?

Unfortunately there is nothing in that plex support forum that gets me beyond the problem. I now managed to get it running but instead of recognising that I have the Plex-Media Server installed on Unraid when I open the Web ui now the plex app asks for me to bwe able to add my media I need to download a plex media server. Which I obviously have just done and successfully set up according to the message I got after finishing the install.

First question I have installed plex using the apps tab in Unraid. Got the claim code from plex and it seems to all be fine as this is how it shows up on the docker Plex-Media-Server started up-to-datehost192.168.1.1:1900/UDP192.168.1.1:1900 192.168.1.1:32400/TCP192.168.1.1:32400 192.168.1.1:32410/UDP192.168.1.1:32410 192.168.1.1:32412/UDP192.168.1.1:32412 192.168.1.1:32413/UDP192.168.1.1:32413 192.168.1.1:32414/UDP192.168.1.1:32414 192.168.1.1:32469/TCP192.168.1.1:32469 192.168.1.1:8324/TCP192.168.1.1:8324/tower.local/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server/transcode/ /mnt/disk1/sambashare/movies//mnt/disk1/sambashare/Movies/ /config/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-ServerONUptime: 9 seconds (healthy) Created: 11 seconds ago However, when I open plex using the WEBUI I get my norml user choice screen but when I log in as me I somehow get Shield Android TV as my server. This has an error as it is unavailable. I was under the impression that when I set up the plex media server using the official docker from Unraid apps pointing the paths to where the files are stored and claim my server with the code from plex it should work? I cannot find where to enable SSH. Where is that control panel mentioned in the instructions above? When I use the commands in the linux mint cinnamon terminal (my system runs on linux mint cinnamon) it isn't a valid command. Unfortunately I am an absolute beginner and have not even the basic knowledge so will need basic dummie step by step instructions to get my plex on unraid working. All help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I have installed the official Plex Media Server app in Unraid, using the apps tab. It shows up in dockers and has started. However, when I open the webapp the server does not show up and I cannot link the webapp to the server so have no access to all my content that is on my server. I am running a NAS network on Linux Mint Cinnamon using Unraid. My content is on .local/sambashare in folders split in TV, Movies, Music, Photos, Downloads Host path 2: Container path: /tower.local Host path: /appdata on tower.local/Plex-Media-Server/transcode I have set the host path 3 to: container path: /media/sambashare host path: /mnt/user What am I missing and why can't I link the wepapp to the server?
