does the permission script run on the cache drive too? (I have all my apps and appdata there)

but i think I will never use it. If I want to change permissions I do it myself.

 

3 hours to chown your plex library, wow, how much have media do you have?

 

mine needs about 5-7 minutes. and I have 6000 TV-shows and a couple of movies.

and last count i had about 3800 movies ...

 

 

well my database is on the array for now....  but i have a few 500 gb 's laying around... mounting one as appdrive is not difficult

Ok so I asked this same question over at the other Plex thread and didn't get a useful answer ... but what is the difference between "Tofurkey" edition and the version found here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14446.0

Tofurky edition is the official name of Plex Media Server 0.9.5.2

 

http://elan.plexapp.com/2011/11/28/plex-media-server-v0-9-5-2-tofurky-edition/

 

this plugin uses the plugin system of unRAID 5b11+ and counting.

the other one isn't (yet at least)

ahhhh ok.  Didn't quite notice the other wasn't a plugin.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Ok question: will Plex ever let my cache drive spin down?  In prefences I told it to update the library daily and unchecked "update when there are changs" but my cache never spins down and as best I can tell, plex is the only thing accessing it.

 

Is that normal, or should I spend my time digging deeper?

I don't know, because thats the hole point of the cache drive for me. its always running. and the other HDDs are spun down.

hmmm for me it is for fast writes.  if I'm not writing anything, I want it spun down   like right now while at work. 

If you host the library, logs and temp drive on the cache, then your cache likely won't spin down.  Same problem if you use Couchpotato (unless they fixed that).  Not really sure if there is a way around it, as PMS pretty consistently is writing logs for either PMS or the scanner, not to mention every plugin.

 

I'd MUCH rather have my cache drive spinning than having to run a whole other machine (i.e. Mac mini) to run PMS.

I have a similar problem... I agree I'd rather have one drive running than a whole computer, however.com! I want my unRAID box to goto sleep until accessed. For the S3 script in Simple Features to run it needs to wait until all the drives have spun down (ie my cache drive!) Anybody got any ideas or will it always run up the drive?! Surely if PMS isn't being used and automatic scanning is disabled it shouldn't be writing to the cache drive?!

yeah plex works fine with my files on my mac, windows machine just not working on unraid

 

I think its a permission problem.

 

I would say, create a temporary movie folder. Put some movies in it.

and do:

chown -R nobody:users /path/to/tmpmoviefolder

If you add this folder to plex, it has to work.

 

blah... still no go...i think it has to do with my install.. maybe it went wrong? how would i redo everything?

or is it an issues with b12a?

i'm getting this error again if i start and stop the plugin..

Error: Unable to set up server: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

using the "other" .plg you provided

 

Been trying to get plex up and running on unraid 5 b14 for 2 days now...

 

currently stumped at a log file filled with these (one for each directory)

 

 

ERROR - Failed to add watch for /mnt/user/TV/The Simpsons/Season 1 (28: No space left on device)

 

 

plenty of space left, permissions are correct, not sure where to go.

what are for plugin settings?

permissions?

 

but I would say ask at the plex forums.

have you reboot your server and post "df -h" again?

and its not working now either?

 

can you post the output of:

egrep -i plex /var/log/syslog

and its not working now either?

 

 

Let me explain a little bit more about what is not working...

 

It appears PMS is starting ok I can get to the mange page

 

I have added folder to the library but it does not and is not scanning the folders.  All library folders are empty.

can you start PMS without the soft links enabled.

and report if it works then

I thought that fixed it, it was able to do an initial scan and pick up the media.  When I add new items it does not pick up any new items.  I've tried a force deep scan with no luck.

not to be too blunt, and I swear I searched, but WTF does softlinks do?  I am running without it right now because that is default.  Why would I turn it on? or why would I not want to turn it on?

It has not incremented since the initial scan I did.
