[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server
dchamb replied to linuxserver.io's topic in Docker Containers
Something is definitely wrong with transcoding. When I playback video on my big screen connected to my Roku, I get choppiness and buffering when set to auto. It goes away when I set it to direct. However, my smartphone over wifi will only work if I select transcoding. Not sure what to make of this but it didn't happen before the last container update. -

I was thinking the transcoder performance was worse. I'm getting stuttering and stalls, but when I set quality to original everything plays fine. -
Frank1940, Thanks! It is now set if this happens again. I've attached the syslog from the first and only time it failed. Not sure what to make of it except I see a general protection fault (which to me usually indicates a memory leak) and an error on the SSD drive, but nothing further shows up on the SSD. Ran SMART tests and it shows fine. Dale tower-diagnostics-20190712-1413.zip

That's the problem. This has been the only time it happened so I have no basis to determine when it might happen again. If it does, I believe there is close to a zero chance that getting a Diagnostics file saved since everything appeared to be down before the reboot. There was a syslog from before and after the crash though.

I upgraded to 6.7.2 from 6.6.6 about a week ago and all seems well. Before that I replaced the Marvell SATA controllers with an LSI Broadcom SAS HBA. Disk access times are better too. I did have one anomaly. Sometime during the early morning I could not access shared from any computer on my network. The webgui was still running but show zero CPU utilization. I tried to shutdown, but all I got were the standard shutdown warnings and nothing happened. After about 45 minutes I forced it down and restarted. Everything came back up but it had to do a parity check. I've

Here is one I am looking at currently LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i 8-port 12Gb/s SATA+SAS PCI-Express 3.0 Low Profile Host Bus Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DSURZYS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3c3fDbFCRSQST

Thanks johnnie.black. I still am uncertain if I should scrap this controller card for a non-Marvell based one. I see SAS controllers out there but I'm not familiar with them. And if I change my controller will all the existing drive assignments be preserved?

Where would I find it?

I have an unRAID version 6.6.6 system with an I/O Crest 4 Port SATA III PCI-e 2.0 x1 Controller Card Marvell 9215 (based on the Marvell 88SE9215). When I tried to upgrade to version 6.7.0 I lost 3 drives which were attached to this controller card. I reverted back to version 6.6.6 and the drives reappeared on the array. I am reluctant to try going to 6.7.2 because I don't know if this problem still exists, plus I've been aware of the posts on database corruption issues. My question is this: should I replace the controller with a non-Marvell based controller and try again? If so, w

Do you have any Marvell SATA controllers? I have one where two of my array disks are attached and had the same problem going from 6.6.6 to 6.7.0. I rolled back and had no problems. I'm guessing based on your experience the problem did not go away with 6.7.2.

I agree 100%. It is impossible for anyone to test for every condition and they have responded very quickly to address problems as they surfaced. unRAID OS is the best thing going!

Are you using a Marvell controller? I upgraded my system from 6.6.6 to 6.7.0 and two of my array drives went missing. They are attached to a Marvell controller. I reverted back to 6.6.6 and everything was fine. I'm waiting to see if 6.7.2 resolves this problem.

Does 6.7.2 solve the Marvell missing disks problem?

[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server

I recently moved my Plex system to use the linuxserver.io plex docker. All seems well except occasionally I see a half second blip on screen during playback. I thought it might be related to the transcode folder, since it looks like it is going to the array. I tried to move it to tmp, but that made the problem worse, even causing some content to not play at all. I also noticed that using Plex.tv webgui it tends to skip ahead 5 seconds or so several times. Any thoughts on what is causing this? I had no problems like this running Plex under the PhaZe plugin.

I had a bad experience going to 6.7.0. Two of my array drives showed up as missing. I rolled back to 6.6.6 and all was well. I will not be updating to 6.7.0. I would encourage you to roll back as well. There's a good chance nothing was corrupted. But in the event there was, it will be a matter of rebuilding the Plex appdata and not the media files. I realize this may not be a small feat if your library is as large as mine, but it beats the alternative. I do wish they would test these releases more diligently before making them available. Dale
