I've mentioned it to the Plex developers but it's a difficult issue to track down. What's important to note is that the logging provided by the plugin I've released is ONLY for the plugin and not for Plex itself. You will want to attach your Plex Media Server.log file (make sure to do this right after the crash, before you restart Plex).. I can take a look at it to see if anything weird is happening. I'm trying to track it down myself but it's not something easy to do and definitely won't be fixed in the next few weeks that's for sure. Quote Link to comment

I just got it running again. Removed v01 and replaced it with v03. I also Remonde the autostart. Now it starts again. Quote Link to comment

Rembro Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe a stupid question, but i only can dowload a .tar file from the dropbox from user Stokkes. put it on the flash drive, in an ''extra'' directory an tried the installpkg command ''installpkg plex-0.3-i386-unRAID.tar'' and get this error in Telnet box ''Cannot install plex-0.3-i386-unRAID.tar: file does not end in .tgz, .tbz, .tlz, or .txz'' a .tar file is by my knowledge a kind of compressed file/package RAR / ZIP file. So i tried With 7-Zip and winRaR to see with kind of uncompressed file it would output (maybe a .tgz file) and it did'nt. Quote Link to comment

aht961 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thank you for the nice work. I have installed and got it running. However, a few questions if somebody could answer: - Is there any way to play VIDEO_TS files using Plex App for iPad? If this is not possible, could PMS do some live conversion using ffmpeg or other packages (like Air Video)? - Is there any way to include the mpeg-ts (transport stream) files in the directory? At the moment I include the path which is full of .ts files, but Plex manager insists saying that the directory in empty. Quote Link to comment

ChronoStriker1 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't know if this is actually a question for them. I originally had plex installed via the method in this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=9902.0. I had no issues but I was running as root which caused other issues for me. I then tried the plugin version and had the issue with it dieing after a day. On a whim I tried going back to the original way but adding su nobody -c to fix my other issue. I'm now working for 72 hours so I have to think its something the plugin is doing differently. Quote Link to comment
Benni-chan Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 there is a long thread going on about this in the plex support forum. some people using this plugin have that problem but there are also some people who don't use this plugin, who also have that problem. i myself had no crash for about a week now but didn't change anything. it's some kind of memory leak and the plex developers are not sure yet, what's causing it.

aiden Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Is there anybody running this with Plexbmc addon for XBMC? I am. It works well, but I've been having issues with embedded subtitles either not showing up, or showing up without being asked for. Aside from the already mentioned random program halt, which I have experienced twice, it's a great solution for everything. Quote Link to comment
Bagpuss Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi All, I've got an interesting problem with this plugin (v0.3). I've downloaded both the full and light versions, and the issue is the same on both. I've tried the default install from the full package, and put my plex library on both a data drive (/disk1) and also on the cache drive (/mnt/cache/.plexlib). I've also used the light package, and pointed it at the untarred Plex archive on /disk1/plex and /mnt/cache/.plex. In this case, the library was in /disk1/plexlib or /mnt/cache/.plexlib. The problem is this. Certain seasons of some shows simply don't show up in the library. As an example, I've got all 4 seasons of Enterprise, and when scanned Season 3 doesn't show up in the library. If I start Plex from it's own start.sh script (from the same install directory), then it detects Season 3 of Enterprise, and displays it in the library. My user.conf looks like this: # Customized Plex Media Server configuration file for the unRAID-Plex plugin. # DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THIS FILE. THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. # PLEX_INSTALLED_DIR="/mnt/cache/.plex" PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="/mnt/cache/.plexlib" TMPDIR="/mnt/cache/.plextmp" RUNAS="root" init.sh is as follows: #!/bin/sh # Start Plex using runas user from configuration su root -s /bin/sh -c "/boot/custom/plex/plex.sh &> /dev/null &" and plex.sh: #!/bin/sh # We load our configuration file here source /boot/custom/plex/user.conf # Now we export the variables required for Plex Media Server to run export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${PLEX_INSTALLED_DIR}" export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR="${PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR}" export TMPDIR="${TMPDIR}" export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS=6 # Set the maximum stack size. DO NOT CHANGE THIS ulimit -s 3000 # Start Plex Media Server or check for version if [ "$1" = "--version" ]; then $PLEX_INSTALLED_DIR/Plex\ Media\ Server --version else $PLEX_INSTALLED_DIR/Plex\ Media\ Server fi My start.sh script from the .plex directory looks like this: #!/bin/sh #SCRIPTPATH=$(dirname $(python -c 'import sys,os;print os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1])' $0)) SCRIPT=$(readlink -f $0) SCRIPTPATH=`dirname ${SCRIPT}` export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${SCRIPTPATH}" export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_MAX_PLUGIN_PROCS=6 export TMPDIR=/mnt/cache/.plextmp export PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/mnt/cache/.plexlib ulimit -s 3000 ./Plex\ Media\ Server When I look at the log files from the scanner, then Season 3 is clearly being parsed when using the server plugin, but it just doesn't display in the library. Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on here? I can provide log files from the scanner for both cases, if that helps. Quote Link to comment
sunnyville Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I am loving the idea of being able to use the Plex MEdia Server. Does it work with later versions of beta 5 such as the latest 12a? Quote Link to comment

Interstellar Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Can I ask what this does? Is this a GUI so you plug your UnRAID box into a TV or: Does it stream to compatible devices like a PS3? I've been googling etc but can't for the life of me work out what it does... Quote Link to comment

gbdesai Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 @Bagpuss: check if you have error messages in your scanner log file like these: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc0' in position 48: ordinal not in range(128) if yes, add these lines to your plex.sh export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Are changes to plex.sh persistent or will they disappear on reboot? If they are not persistent, how do we get those lines (which I need as well) into the script permanently? EDIT: I'll answer my own question, I didn't see at first that those files are on the flash drive... so it seems that init.sh and plex.sh are persistent. So another question, I know there is a RUNAS variable in user.conf, does that mean that I can simply run /boot/custom/plex/init.sh in my go script and not have to run su nobody -c "/boot/custom/plex/init.sh" to ensure the process runs as nobody? EDIT2: Nevermind again, I think I see that init.sh calls plex.sh as nobody in my case... I find that posting a question I may be struggling with for weeks is the quickest way for me to find my own answer... very strange indeed. Quote Link to comment
Dimtar Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think someone mentioned it earlier in the read but after a quick browse I cannot see it. Two of my drives, parity and data 1 are not spinning down at all ever since installing Plex. Is there anyway to sort this out or even just reduce it? Quote Link to comment
gbdesai Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hmmm. Maybe that's what's happening to me. Only 1 of my 20 drive array is spinning down these days. In my log it doesn't appear that the system even attempts to spin down the other drives. I am also using Cache_Dirs to minimize drive spin up, but it seems like something else is going on. Maybe I should turn off update library on changes and see if that improves things... Quote Link to comment

Maybe I should turn off update library on changes and see if that improves things... I did that but it seems to make no difference, luckily it only leaves two disks spun up but it's certainly reducing the awesomeness of UNRAID if the disks don't spin down. Quote Link to comment
