    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    I just noticed that within Plex I can't seem to match some movies like "Pelé Birth of a Legend (2016)" or "Amélie (2001)" due to the characters being changed to "Pel? Birth of a Legend (2016)" or "Am?lie (2001)"

     

    I suspect its unRAID because SSH shows the character hashed out:

    Pel? Birth of a Legend (2016)

     

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Probably depends on the character set in force when the folder/file names were created. Try renaming them.

    I do seem to recall some post or something saying we could put multiple keys on and it would check them all until it found the match. And I don't recall ever seeing anything that said we shouldn't do that now that we have online registration (which apparently includes online blacklisting).

    On array start, that still works.  unRaid will keep checking until it finds the appropriate key.  But on a registration transfer, none of the keys are going to match, so it has no choice but to pick one out of the hat.  ergo: only put a single key on the flash drive and you'll have no problems

    So just to clarify this for myself (and maybe others). If you are trying to register a replacement flash, only put the key for the flash you are trying to replace on the new flash drive.

    OK, I get it now. I thought Danconio and jonathanm were saying that a key file was blacklisted. They were talking about the flash GUID that went with a key, which effectively blacklists the key.

     

    So when he went to get a replacement for a new flash drive, it blacklisted the wrong flash based on just picking one of the keys it found on there.

     

    I never had to use the online registration and still have the emails for both of my keys so I am good as far as sorting this out on my systems.

    I'm not getting it. Why would a key be blacklisted? I understand blacklisting a flash GUID. You get a replacement key for a replacement flash, and the original flash would be blacklisted so you couldn't have 2 that work when you had only paid for 1.

     

    But what good is it to blacklist a key? It can't be used on another flash. Yes it could be used on the original flash, but since there is no phone home the blacklist has to be in the downloaded distribution, so you would still be able to use either the original flash or the original key until you installed a new distribution regardless of any blacklist.

     

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here.

    I didn't notice that I had both of my keys on the replacement USB drive when I requested a new key. After attempting to request a replacement key for the second drive I found that I have one usb drive with a valid key but blacklisted drive and one usb drive with a blacklisted key.

     

    For now I can run unraid on the flash drive with the blacklisted key but I would like to find out how to proceed to get a replacement key for the second new flash drive. Neither of my keys are now recognized as eligible to be replaced.

    It will check all keys until it finds the correct one so having multiple keys on the drive doesn't matter. I have both of my keys on both of my systems.

     

    How did you get these blacklisted drives and blacklisted keys? They were blacklisted for a reason. You will have to contact [email protected] to get them replaced. They usually respond pretty quickly.

    Convert Existing Reiserfs Disk to XFS

    in General Support

    Hi,

     

    Is it possible to:

     

    stop array

    change disk1 to xfs

    start array

    Use the parity disk to reconstruct disk1

    Just to elaborate.

     

    Changing the disk to xfs will format it. Format means "write an empty filesystem to this disk". That is what it has always meant on every operating system you have ever used. unRAID treats this write of the empty filesystem just like it treats all other writes, but updating parity. So after you change the filesystem (format), parity will agree that the disk has an empty filesystem on it, and if you rebuild from parity you will get an empty filesystem.

     

    There is already a very long sticky thread about converting to XFS at the top of this subforum.

    Now that inotify is back in 6.3 I don't seem to be able to reinstall this plugin. Just get the "puzzle piece" icon on the Plugins page for ransomware.bait, and nothing for it in the Settings page.

    Never tried that.  I just reverted yesterday so I could develop

    I will be rebooting in the next day or so to upsize my cache pool. Will try again after the reboot.

    It's a typo in the plugin file (basically, it was saving the downloaded txz under a different name than it was uninstalling it under    >:(  )

     

    Uninstall it again, and reinstall, and it'll pull the updated .plg file with the correction...  ( Only affected people who try and uninstall it.  If you've never tried to uninstall it, no need to do anything.  The updated .plg will automatically get installed with today / tomorrow's update)

     

    You'd almost think that I knew what I was doing by now    :o

    I went ahead and rebooted before I saw your post. And then it installed fine. Then I read your post, so just to test the uninstall for you I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. All OK. Noticed it doesn't seem to put any bait in my Backup share though. Don't know if this is intentional or not. This is the same share I use for CA backup among other things.

    This plugin is preventing my array from starting on 6.3.0-rc1

     

    Or possibly, it is stopping my array due to some sort of false-positive before I can even load the webUI.

     

    After upgrading to unRAID 6.3.0-rc1, I was surprised to see that my array wasn't started. So I tried to start it manually, but it wouldn't. Then I tried booting in SAFE mode, and it booted up fine with the array started.

     

    Then I happened to check my email and had some alerts from this plugin. So I removed the plugin, booted in normal mode, and it booted up with the array started.

     

    So something going on with this plugin and unRAID 6.3.0-rc1

    Nevermind about the diagnostics.  You're correct.  However the problem actually isn't with this plugin per se.  Nerd Pack isn't working properly on 6.3.0-rc1

     

    Going to the ransomware settings states that inotifytools isn't installed, and going to Nerd Pack settings just sits there on retrieving plugin information.  Now this is a case that I have to handle, where inotify was installed, but no longer is, so kudos for finding that bug...  But I think that dmascias also has something to do here...

    Now that you mention it I did notice something about inotifytools in my syslog and should have made the connection. So I guess that means I will have to regenerate my .hash files again also. Still using your "deprecated" Checksum Suite after all this time.

    If you don't understand then you don't really understand volume mappings.

     

    If you understand volume mappings then you will be able to figure out what to do with other dockers.

     

    If you don't understand volume mappings then you will always be asking someone else how to do it.

     

    And there will often be others who don't understand either willing to "help" you.

    Hey i am new in nzbget, i have used sabnzbd all the time.

     

    But i am now trying to move to nzbget that i have problems with sabnzbd.

     

    I have it all up and running, but i keep getting an error when i paste in the rss feed from my index site.

     

    i get this error: Error parsing rss feed: Unsupported encoding windows-1251

     

    anyone knows what wrong? and maybe know how i can fix it?

    Sounds like a question for NZBGet support rather than for this docker. Have you tried searching or asking there?

    I just lost a drive; For some reason it forgot a superblock or something and didn't want to mount. Stupid me formatted it in Unraid when it also detected it couldn't mount it (instead of removing it first). There goes 1 TB data.

    Please ask next time if you aren't sure what you should do.

     

    Format means "write an empty filesystem to this disk". That is what it has always meant in every operating system you have ever used. unRAID treats this write just like any other, by updating parity, so parity agrees you have an empty filesystem.

    On my old setup before unRAID, I used to create a symbolic link from my small SSD to a larger HDD for /Plex Media Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+ which is where cloud/device sync files are stored temporarily .

     

    How do I do the same with unRAID i.e. point /mnt/user/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Cache/Transcode/Sync+ to /mnt/user/transcode which is setup to use the cache, but NOT only the cache so that if there are more files than my cache can upload in a day then the mover will move them to the array. 

     

    This will ensure files get created fast, but if there's more than my connection can keep up with then they are moved to the array.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    If your cache gets full, files meant for a cached user share are written directly to the array instead of cache. Mover only moves on schedule not when cache gets full.

     

    Why bother with a symlink when you can just set a mapping for transcode?

    You can get a replacement from Limetech for free if they have a record of your purchase. Contact [email protected]

     

    If you try to use the backup, you should delete the file config/super.dat since it is not current for your drive assignments. You will have to assign your drives from your screenshot.

     

    Your data should be fine.

     

    After you get everything working again, you really should upgrade. Nobody that can help you on the forum has seen that version of unRAID for several years.
