I'm interested in checking this out, but the github and docker hub pages are both 404s.

I've been using the script for a few months -- how does the docker container handle migration? Should I copy everything back to the array and delete all of the *.plexcached files to start fresh, or will the docker container recognize the cached files and start using the cache as-is? Edit: forgot to add context-- I'm looking to move to the dockerized version 3 from the version 2 script. Edit 2 for posterity: found the migration instructions here, help is no longer needed: https://github.com/StudioNirin/PlexCache-D/discussions/81

I'm interested in this and have installed it, but I want to confirm what it will do before I disable the dry run setting. I believe the goal of this plugin (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is to work in the background to consolidate TV show folders on individual disks, so, for example, if I copy The Office from the array, only one disk has to be spun up. I admire this goal, and have been working on changes to keep disks spun down, namely expanding my cache pool and implementing the PlexCache script to move "on deck" TV shows to my cache disk. To make sure I have everything configured correctly, here is my setup: I have my media split into Movies and Television. Television is further subdivided by genre. /mnt/user/Movies/[movie folders] /mnt/user/Television/Comedy/[show folders] /mnt/user/Television/Drama/[show folders] /mnt/user/Television/[many other genres]/[show folders] The plugin is configured with: Movie Library Paths: "Movies,Movies-4K" TV Show Library Paths: "Television/Comedy,Television/Drama,Television/[genre]" My shares were set up to "Automatically split any directory as required", but from what I understand I need to change my Movies share to split at the top level and Television to split at the top two levels. Does that configuration seem correct? Would you recommend splitting directories at the Show level or the Season level? When I run the script, I get the following in the log: Starting Disk Space Management script... 2025-07-23 00:53:40 - --- Disk Space Management script starting --- 2025-07-23 00:53:40 - *** DRY RUN MODE ENABLED *** No files will be moved. 2025-07-23 00:53:40 - --- Disk Space Management script finished --- Script finished.

I've got an idea for a feature request! I would like to, using this plugin, have the ability to find the number of streams using the command line. My use case is that there are maintenance tasks like AppData backups (https://github.com/rcodehub/unraid-plex-script) and DB repair (https://github.com/ChuckPa/DBRepair) that result in Plex downtime. I don't mind delaying for a few hours or even days, if it means that I don't boot a user off in the middle of a stream. I'm in the US, but I have a couple of friends who watch from the UK, where a 3-4AM maintenance window is 8-9AM for them. I'd like the ability to check a value stored in a file and know how many streams are active, and if that number is zero, proceed with the backup or DB repair. Is it possible to write the number of streams to a value?

Is it possible to trigger a recording using the command line? I'm trying to automate recording the radio during baseball games. I have a calendar service set up in HomeBridge, and another service that can run commands at the start and end of events. Alternatively, the ability to import a .ics file and use that for scheduling instead would be fantastic.

I've got an idea for a flow, but I don't know how to create it. I have many tv shows, things like BBC panel shows, that come in as 1080p h264, and I'd like to create a flow that covers my entire media library and does the following: Look over the entire media library, looking for some kind of file in different subfolders, maybe a file called 'file.flow'. The library would look at '/mnt/user/Television'. This file would be at a location like '/mnt/user/Television/Entertainment/Pointless/file.flow', with season folders under '.../Pointless/Season [#]' When 'file.flow' is found, scan the subfolders of the folder that 'file.flow' was found in for media files (video, audio, etc.) and feed those into a video flow. If the file is not found, ignore that folder. (Optional) Parse the folder name to exclude the Season folder with the highest number after it, so that the current season stays at maximum quality. Run the video flow on the video files I have selected, to re-encode them to 720p h265. (Optional) Notify Plex/Sonarr/Radarr that the file has changed so that it can be re-indexed and analyzed. (Optional) Write the log from the folder that was processed to '.../Pointless/file.flow' This would save me from having to create a library for each TV show I want managed by FileFlows, and having to maintain those folders if/when things get moved around. I think I have a rough idea of how it should work, but am either missing something or am thinking beyond what FileFlows can do. I'm also curious about the volume normalization, how does that work? This is an awesome application and I'm looking forward to using it. I use something similar called LaserFiche Forms/Workflow at work for document management, and it's great.

I'm getting a username/password prompt when loading the CloudCommander WebUI. I looked in the docker config but don't see where that is set. Where do I go to set and/or remove the login prompt?

How do I configure a /config folder? I'd like the webui config editor changes to be saved. Also, I don't see it in the trex miner config, but a way to limit GPU RAM usage would be nice to have. I want to reserve 2GB of the ram on my P2000 for handling Plex transcodes. edit: read up a bit more on Eth mining, limiting ram is a bad idea.

Oh, I agree 100% with you. That's why I was hoping for an alternative. Any chance that ability is in the pipeline, possibly as a plugin? Even a limited version, through a secure API that I can access through the app, to be able to see stats, array, docker, and vm statuses, and maybe restart/power down would be excellent. Alternatively, read-only access to the unraid info would be fine if it can't be secured 100%.

Is there any way to pass Supervisor through to be able to securely access it through the internet without connecting to a VPN first? Does it use a different port, or some roundabout way of connecting, with an API key for security, or is it connecting directly using port 80? I've got a full letsencrypt setup with authentication through Plex and Organizr, and have the API URLs of Sonarr, Radarr, etc. passed through so that they can be managed using LunaSea, and having something similar for Unraid would be sweet.

Suggestion for v3 -- I had a file get corrupted in my Radarr docker appdata, and had to retrieve it, and extracting the 2mb .xml file took forever because my .tar.gz backup file is huge. Can you add a setting to back up each docker container to individual .tar.gz files, rather than one enormous file?

I may be having the same problem as plantsandbinary, I'm unable to connect to controlr from my server. I have attached a screenshot and copy of the log file. edit: Running unraid 6.5.3. controlr.log

Does anyone know a good way to automatically delete the duplicate files that this script finds? I had a 6TB drive become unmountable, recovered over 5TB of files from the emulated drive, then realized I hadn't tried repairing the filesystem, and got my drive back, so now I've got 5+TB of duplicate files, spread all across my array.
