Same problem as above with request for Sign In

Have a look in your appdata share and open your Plex folder. Browse to Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Crash Reports/ Here you have folders for each version you have had installed and the name of the folder is the same as version number string. So just use this name to specify what version you would like to use.

What I would recommend as first step is to setup transcoding to disk. If you have cash disk use that one (any type, don't need to be an SSD), if not do it to the array. Ask if you need help. You shouldn't try transcoding to RAM until you have Plex working first. You can read more about transcoding to RAM here:

Not sure I understand what you would like to do, if it’s transcoding to disk or to RAM. If you have the Transcoder temporary directory in Plex set to /transcode then you should also have a folder mapping with a Container Path: set to /transcode If the Transcoder temporary directory in Plex is set to something else then the folder mapping for the Container Path: should be set to the same. If they aren’t the same, you will transcode to disk and in this case the docker image. Depending on the size of the docker image you could run out of space when transcoding. The setting that configures the transcoding location is the Host Path: If it’s set to /tmp you will transcode to RAM and hopefully you have enough RAM to do this. If you prefer transcoding to disk, you need to configure Host Path: with the location (folder) that you would like to use. Could be something like /mnt/user/appdata/transcode or similar. Preferably a folder located on an SSD disk but that’s up to you.

Here is an example…. I don’t use binhex container right now, but it shouldn’t be to much different. I have configured Plex to use the folder /transcode (this is what the Plex app in the container can see). Then I have a folder mapping for the Plex container that maps /transcode inside the container (Container Path:) to a location outside the container (Host Path:) In this case I have mounted an unassigned disk (not belonging to the array and not a cash disk). When browsing unassigned disks will show up at /mnt/disks I have labelled my unassigned disk to Unassigned (otherwise I think it will show up with its s/n). I have also created a folder Plex_transcode on that disk that I will use. The Access Mode: should also be set to RW/Slave /Leif

And not to forget, having a Plex Pass also support the developers to keep a great product getting even better….

Have a look here: https://www.plex.tv/features/ Basically Plex pass gives some more features as well as Beta releases...

Edit the container like described here: Should look like this:

Updated to the latest image and everything is back to normal. Once again, Thanks!

Works, many thanks for the quick response!

Updated my CrashPlan Pro Docker today but it did not start up, GUI only shows a black screen and log is repeating "app starting CrashPlan...". Any ideas on whats happening?

I have 32 GB as well and a Windows 10 VM running (4 GB) as well as a few dockers and I am able to do transcoding to RAM but my Samsung TV plays most formats natively. Also have remote friends but they have bandwidth limitations so files are likely to decrees in size after transcoding.

Was just waiting for that one coming…. There are so many parameters involved so it’s hard to predict. There are typically three reasons for transcoding, the video stream, audio stream and subtitles. In addition, transcoding might be needed due to the bit rate (to high). All above need to be within what the client player can handle so obviously it will be different for different clients. The number of simultaneous clients playing can increase the required space needed as well. It should also be noted that Plex does the transcoding “on the fly” in smaller data block and they are kept for a while (probably the whole session) so that you can stop playing and revers back in the movie and start playing again. I haven’t checked actual file sizes for a transcoded video, but I believe that a “worst case scenario” would be the total size of the actual movie, but once again I never checked it myself. My suggestion is that you start with transcoding to a folder first and play a full video and look at the files in the transcoder folder to get a feel for what it actually does when using different formats and clients. Let that decide the way to go and keep in mind that running out of memory eventually could crash Plex but potentially the server as well.

That should be correct, also make sure that the "Transcoder temporary directory" in Plex is set to /transcode Transcoding can require a lot of space and there might be risk of running out of RAM.

Go to the appdata share and look in Plex\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Crash Reports You will find folders for your previous versions named as the release version.

I have now tested my Main and Backup servers and problems are solved....

I am having some issues when powering down one of my servers, it simply hangs (see the pic). I had just updated the BMC firmware so I thought that could be the problem. I downgraded the firmware but no luck, still same problem. I decided to power down my two other servers and got into same problem. Decided to uninstall the IPMI plugin on all three servers and they all power down as they should. Reinstalling the plugin will bring back the problems again. Can I get some guidance for troubleshooting this pls…. (my signature is updated with current config)

I set 3 GByte as max memory for my 15 TByte and 800.000 files and that works for me. The recommendations looks like a bit "to be on the safe side".

My settings are: <dataDeDupAutoMaxFileSize>1</dataDeDupAutoMaxFileSize> <dataDeDupAutoMaxFileSizeForWan>1073741824</dataDeDupAutoMaxFileSizeForWan> I have disable DataDeDuplication for files above 1073741824 Bytes (1 GByte) since these are often media files that has (more or less) unique content, smaller files gets DeDuplicated. DataDeDuplication use a lot more CPU power so its easy to see what file actually is DeDuplicated. I uploaded 15 TByte in 4 weeks with a 100 Mbit line.

Yes, you can edit the xml file in CrashPlan Pro in the same way.

Thanks @Djoss for the quick fix!

Same problems as @Lebowski Log file attached. CP Container log.txt

My guess is that you have forced an update of the container and that version 4.8.0 is the one embedded in the container (one more guess…). In my case the CrashPlan app notice the old version and updates automatically however have no idea why yours doesn’t behave the same. Sorry...

This container will auto update (or actually the app will). Mine was in June. Check history.log in the log folder. I 06/15/17 12:32PM Downloading a new version of CrashPlan. I 06/15/17 12:32PM Download of upgrade complete - version 1436674800483. I 06/15/17 12:32PM CrashPlan has downloaded an update and will restart momentarily to apply the update. I 06/15/17 12:33PM Installing upgrade - version 1436674800483 I 06/15/17 12:33PM Upgrade installed - version 1436674800483 I 06/15/17 12:33PM CrashPlan started, version 4.8.3
