I run backup/restore once a week and all my meta data from plex is automatically backed up to the folder selected within the plugin

You'll get much better transcode capabilities with new chip h265 decode for a start

Apart from error doesn't transcode ok thinking of very similar upgrade

Will be following this as not updated and only use my server for plex

This may help

Thanks TODDLT hope all your problems are fixed

I don't have this option in my docker container, how do i add this

Did you just point it too the appdata folder on your cache

Hi TODDLT you managed this yet as was thinking about it myself but total NOOB and totally dont want to loose anything.

Hi i have an extra SSD, im going to install it in my unraid setup with unassigned devices, can i set my trans code folder to it so save wear and tear on my main array, If so can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I've managed to run 1 windows vm plus use plex with my G4560. But that's its limit.

You may need an i7 bud depends on what else you use for example vm's and the likes. I basically just use mine for plex and and file share server for the house. So my lowly g4560 does fine.

Any intel 6th generation chip or above, for future proof go 7th gen a sthey can decode/encode hevc at 10 bit. You could also get a cheap nvidia 1050 card but they can only do 2 trans codes max ( im sure there is a away round that). I personally use a cheap g4560 intel chip (7th gen IGPU) and ive had 5 trans codes easy with room to spare.

Yep same here very annoying, how do you roll back version before without losing anything?

What devices you using for clients? I use nvidia shield and handles everything easy

I use a G4560 transcodes hevc easy and have had 7 and 8 streams going with plenty room to go. Got processor and ram and board for 80 quid 2nd hand. Great wee unraid server with 20tb of har drives. Struggles with vm's but excellent plex server

Nvidia gtx cards are locked to 2 transcode but I believe they can be hacked

Your chip doesnt support hevc

5)navigate to “config” and find the “go file” --> make a copy (I called mine go_orig) https://imgur.com/DZM9yyA 14 6)open the Go file (NOT THE COPY) with wordpad / notepad/ notepad++ or similar and make it equal to mine then SAVE & CLOSE the go file Copy to clipboard #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & #enable module for iGPU and perms for the render device modprobe i915 chown -R nobody:user /dev/dri chmod -R 777 /dev/dri https://imgur.com/GJRG9s0 15 go to you docker tab and click on Plex https://imgur.com/wDE2oiF 14 upper righ clich on basic view button (upper right - will become advanced) https://imgur.com/k1aYxUv 15 find extra parameter line and write in it exaxctly --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri https://imgur.com/Xazlmt7 20 then “APPLY” at the end of docker setting. Reboot you server, DONE !!!

Great thanks ive been replying to you on you tube, im a total beginner in every sense of the word, ive installed plugib so do i just drop this in

Hi if you have an xbox one they have an excellent plex player, i personally use a nvidia shield tv which is also great

No worries I had same problem until I checked my log and noticed my driver had errors that's when I found out my problem. Best to up load logs so someone with a bit more know how can help. Sorry I can't be more help and u hope you get it fixed. Post here if u do. Good luck

Can only speak for myself but if i use my windows vm and set graphics card to intel on baord instead of VNC it crashes my i915 driver which affects my transcode ability in plex, if reboot and fixes itself until i try and use VM again with intel graphics. Doubt thats yer problem but only a suggestion

Do you use windows VM by any chance
