Do you have your Plex Server setup to require authorization for access on local network? I disabled mine temporarily until I got it working without authorization. Did you install the PlexWatch Docker container in Bridge mode or Host mode? I couldn't get it to work unless I installed in Host mode.

What files do you have in your PlexWatch config directory? I have the following files: root@MediaTower:/mnt/appdisk/apps/plexWatch# ls -l total 1368 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 574 Jul 26 21:46 config.php -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 10658 Aug 1 20:49 config.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 10706 Jul 19 10:53 config.pl-dist drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody users 4096 Aug 1 11:13 db_backups/ -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 185427 Aug 1 20:57 debug.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 949248 Aug 1 21:02 plexWatch.db -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody users 47867 Aug 1 20:57 plexWatch.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users 170701 Jul 19 10:53 plexWatch.pl* The drive mappings I used for the installation: /mnt/appdisk/apps/plex/library/Plex Media Server/Logs/:/logs:rw /mnt/appdisk/apps/plexWatch/:/plexWatch:rw The beginning of my config.pl file: $data_dir = '/plexWatch'; ## to store the DB, logfile - can be the same as this script $server_log = '/logs/Plex Media Server.log'; ## used to log IP address of user (alpha) $log_client_ip = 1; ## requires $server_log to be available too.

Did you edit the config.pl file? Was the config.php file created and saved with your config settings the first time you opened the PlexWatchWeb gui page?

I get that same message and just ignored. PlexWatch works just fine anyways.

I do not have a root password set on my unRaid system. When I telnet in using putty, it prompts me for my login, and I type "root" and press Enter. It then asks for my password, and I just press Enter and it logs me in successfully.

Bad download of the plugin? (I've seen those types of errors when people incorrectly download the files from the github page.) Did you download the plugin directly from the first post of that link I provided? Right-click the Unraid 6 version of Plex Media Server and do a "save as" to your computer and put that file on your flash drive.

You can install the 64-bit version of Plex using Phaze's plugin if you are not ready yet to go the docker route. See here. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33341.0 Make sure to fully delete the other version you already tried installing first.

Assuming you already have a btrfs formatted cache drive and docker installed/enabled on your unRaid system... To install the gfjardim Extended Docker Configuration plugin, go to the Extensions tab on the unRaid webgui. Copy and paste the following in the install extensions box: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gfjardim/dockers/dockerMan/dockerMan/dockerMan.plg

Install the docker template plugin and you can select the included template for Plex Media Server. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33965.0

Is Plex adding your movies to the library and just not downloading the metadata? How are your movie files named? https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200381023-Naming-Movie-files Which agents did you select for your movies library? If this is your first time with Plex, have you read thru this? https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200288896-Basic-Setup-Wizard

Are you running unRaid 5 (32-bit) or unRaid 6 (64-bit)? The easiest installation is to use the plugin from Phaze (he has versions for both unRaid 5 & 6). http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33341.0 If you are running unRaid 6 you could try installing Plex in a Docker. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33822.0

It did. Thank you. I copied your settings to my config.php file and it works now! I kept making changes to my config.pl file, and not changing the config.php file. Putting localhost in the config.php file seems to have been the solution.

I wasn't able to get the plex username and password to work either. But try changing the "network type" from "bridge" to "host", that solved it for me. Here is some background: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33965.msg316848#msg316848 During my initial install of plexWatch, I couldn't get it to work at all until I changed it from "bridge" to "host". After making that change, plexWatch works fine if I don't require authentication on local networks in the Plex server settings. But I still can't get it to work with authentication turned on. Can you confirm that you have it working with authentication turned on?

Did anyone get the plexWatch docker to work with "Require authentication on local networks" set to ON in the Plex server settings? I entered my plex username and password in the config.pl file, but when I bring up the plexWatch gui I get a "Failed to access Plex Media Server. Please check your settings." error message. The plexWatch debug.log file doesn't contain any errors.

Are you running version 5 (32-bit) or version 6 (64-bit) unRaid software? Did you install Plexconnect using a plugin? Ver. 5: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29193.0 Ver. 6: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31530.msg285753#msg285753

If you don't have an UPS on your server, that would be the first thing I would "fix".

Did you try deleting the packages and forcing them to be redownloaded?

I gave up trying to get my home email account working, and just created a gmail account for this purpose. Gmail is free, easy to configure to get working, and you can configure to send the emails to any address. After taking less than a minute to get Gmail working, I regretted all the wasted time I spent trying to get my other account working.

You are changing the ownership group and users that have permission write to the appdisk. Notice from your output that all of the array disks (cache, disk1, disk2, etc) all are already configured for "nobody users" but your appdisk is configured "root root". The first command changes the ownership of the appdisk to "nobody users". The second command changes your telnet prompt to the appdisk directory. The third command changes all folders and subdirectories within the appdisk to "nobody users". The third command may take a couple minutes to complete depending on how many files and directories you have on the appdisk.

From telnet prompt: chown nobody:users /mnt/appdisk cd /mnt/appdisk chown -R nobody:users . I had this issue when I switched from the FrankenPlex 64bit plugin to the Phaze 64bit plugin for Plex. Plex wouldn't start because of the permissions issue, I did the chown process and it worked fine after that.

datruedave, your Plex folder on the appdisk is owned by "root:root" user so unless you are running Plex as root it will not be able to write to that folder. I fixed this issue on my system by chown the entire appdisk and all subfolders to "nobody:users"
