I'll grab a screen shot if it happens again. Zip attached Yeah, I created that share a long time ago. Can't remember specifically why. mongo-diagnostics-20200111-1659.zip

Cool, just changed it. Thanks! Will monitor to make sure that's fixed the problem.

Great, found it!

Sorry, I'm not sure how to find the docker run command. Is it in the logs?

I'm not sure what to provide here. What kind of evidence do we need? I can stream multiple streams at once with the RAM usage hardly being affected. But the RAM will be 99% used when there are no active streams. A simple restart of the docker takes the RAM back to normal.

Oh I see. Here you go.

Sorry about that. Here's the whole thing.

I just recently switched from Binhex to Linuxserver distro of Plex. I'm noticing that every few days Plex builds up to using 99% of RAM, approximately 60gb. I restart Plex and it goes back down to 1% or something. What could be causing this?

I'm using Sonarr and Radarr for TV and movies with Plex for playback. I've noticed that after my downloads finish unpacking, it can take 20 minutes or more before they show up in Plex (even when initiating a manual library scan). After investigating, I noticed that the files are being moved to their respective folders for TV and Movies and they will only show up in plex when the move has completed. But this move is taking a long time. Is there a setting to make this work better in SAB, Sonarr, or Plex? Or maybe it's an unraid mover issue? I've got a cache pool setup with 2 SSDs.

Quick update... It turns out that I was apparently not running the linuxserver docker of plex, but rather the Plexinc version. That's a tidbit I found out after removing the docker to try reinstalling. So anyway, I attempted to reinstall with the linuxserver version, but I was getting an error saying my certification has expired and it wouldn't pull the docker. Poked around on google and unraid forms and found out that error can come from an incorrect date/time setting. Upon checking, my date and time setting had been set to the date on which the updated bios had been released (Aug 3, 2019). So I manually corrected the date/time and the docker pulled and installed correctly. My guess is that my problems with the original plex install were likely related to this too, but it's too late since I deleted it. All the appdata is showing up correctly, but I had to re-add the libraries before it would play any of the content correctly becuase the linuxserver distro uses path mapping. So that was fun!

You know those times when you want to throw your computer against the wall and light it on fire? That's been my experience the last 24 hours. Newegg was supposed to have their ASrock x370 boards updated to the new bios by ASrock, but apparently mine slipped through the cracks. So my board had a bios that was not compatible with Ryzen 9. But it took hours of troubleshooting to rule out other things first. After calling 6 computer repair shops in town, I found one who had an old beater Ryzen in the shop specifically for upgrading bios for series 3 ryzens. So now everything is back up and running EXCEPT my plex server has decided to become invisible. Clicking on the Webui link on the docker takes me to a "Page Not Found". Clients can't find the server either. No idea what caused it and no idea how to fix it.

PLEX SERVER UNREACHABLE AFTER RYZEN 9 UPGRADE Today I upgraded from an old AMD processor to a Ryzen 9 3900x and a ASrock x370 Professional Gaming Motherboard. I got everything up and running, but Plex is acting strangely, Selecting the webui shows the server as unreachable. Sometimes I can access the plex server from my phone or Nvidia shield on the local network momentarily and then it drops again. Any idea what could be going on? UPDATE: Now clicking on Webui from the docker no longer takes me to plex admin. It's just showing "site can't be reached"

Thanks for the suggestion. If I wasn't trying to get it up and running quickly, I'd try it out. I just installed the MB, Ryzen 3900x, and RAM this afternoon with an old PCIe graphics card. I thought there was a chance that the motherboard had come with the 5.3 bios from the factory since the update was released in July. Unfortunately there's no way to tell. The computer won't post and get stuck in a boot loop. Starts up for 20 seconds (no video output) then resets and starts up again. I don't know if this is due to the 3900x not being compatible or if there's another problem. Maybe the ram? It's not listed on the official asrock compatibility list. I've ordered a Ryzen 3 that is compatible with all bios of this motherboard so that I can update the bios if that's the problem. But I'm not sure that it is.

Hey All, I've been using unraid since version 4 (I think), but I've always kind of fumbled through my setup. A couple years ago, I did some skype sessions with @jonp and it was very helpful! Not sure if Jon is still doing them. I'm upgrading my motherboard/processor and I thought this would be a good time to get everything working in tip top shape. Some things I'm hoping to get help with... 1. General settings/share/app optimization 2. Sabnzbd/Radarr/Sonarr/Plex (Optimize) 3. Switch from Reiserfs to XFS 4. Setup Next Cloud 5. Setup a Windows VM 6. Setup Windows VPS (is this possible?) Anyway, would love some help optimizing my unraid experience!

Oh shoot. I already ordered it. Stuff started arriving today. Is there something in the description that would have alerted me that it’s not compatible? i don’t have another AM4 processor.

Ok, cool. So you're saying that I shouldn't have to select disks from the drop down and manually setup the array? It'll just boot up and probably start the array correctly?

Next week I'm upgrading my processor, motherboard, and RAM (see this post for details). I'm trying to learn how to keep my 6 drive array (5 data + 1 parity) safe during the upgrade. I'll be using the same case, so I won't need to physically move the drives or anything. Currently all my drives are plugged into SATA ports on the motherboard and the new motherboard has enough SATA ports for all the drives, so I'm good there. But how do I make sure that each drive gets assigned correctly? Do I just take a screenshot of the dashboard page of unraid and carefully select the right drives?

Ok, so according to this thread post 2015 CPUs in general (not just Intel QSV processors) can handle 4K h265 much better than in the past. So it takes only a 8000 passmark score to transcode 4k h265 with most recent CPUs. I hope I'm correct in my evaluation? Since this no longer locks me into an Intel chip here's what I'm now thinking. AMD RYZEN 9 3900X (31,930 passmark) ASRock Fatal1ty X370 (This gives me 10 SATA ports in case I need 2 extra in the future) How does this combo look? Ok for 4k and Virtual Machines? Any Ram recommendations? 430w Power Supply ok? EDIT: For RAM maybe... G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 Gives the option to upgrade to the motherboard max of 64gb if needed.

My understanding is that AMD processors don’t have hardware transcoding for 4K h264/265 like the intel Quick Sync Video compatible processors. Is that right or is there an AMD equivalent?

My research is pointing me toward a Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz. It's got Quick Sync Video that should be able to take the CPU load of of 4K h264/265. Am I on the right track here? Will need to get a new motherboard. Edit: Or maybe the Intel Core i5-8600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.6 GHz?

I'm doing an end of year upgrade to my server that is partial used for business purposes (hence getting the expense in for 2019) and I've got $2500 to spend. Required Performance/Improvements 1. Ability to transcode 4k for remote playback. 2. Support for Virtual Machines and Remote VPS Servers 3. Ability to add on functionality for remote file server with multiple users like NextCloud or something. 4. Increased storage. Will be loading up with a lot more 4k content. 5. Optional: Improved file redundancy. CURRENT SPECS Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H CPU: AMD A8-5500 APU w/ Radeon™ HD Graphics @ 3200 Ram: 8GB PS: CX430M Cache Drives: 2x Samsung 850 500gb SSDs Array Drives: 6x 8TB WD80E (5 Disk + 1 Parity | 9.31TB of 30.7TB Free) Notes: Hard drive bays are full Was thinking of starting the process of upgrading to 12tb drives Would like to keep the case if possible. Would like to offload 4k transcoding to GPU or QuickSync CPU (don't want the CPU overloaded if someone is streaming transcoded 4k) Motherboard upgrade necessary? Non work video playback is all through Plex.

Gotcha. Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks for finding that @wgstarks I used that version number but it still is not changing the version on the webui general settings page. root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='PlexMediaServer' --net='host' -e TZ="America/Chicago" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e 'PLEX_CLAIM'='claim-cpzsQgMWvkqB7uW3qnSd' -e 'PLEX_UID'='99' -e 'PLEX_GID'='100' -e 'VERSION'='1.13.9.5456-xxxxxxxxx' -v '/mnt/user':'/mnt/user':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/plex/Plex Media Server/':'/config':'rw' 'plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass' 8e45b193f3fd58c00d18a675e504aa1763dd0160d9bb3e91774c8832855f723
