Ahhh,

 

here are all the errors that pop up on the GUI - they match the output of that command:

root@tower:/usr/local/plex# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="."; ./Plex\ Media\ Server

do you have the iStat plugin installed?

 

 

 

I do have the iStat package installed from unmenu package manager.

 

 

thats your problem.

 

my plugin doesn't work with this one, I don't know why. It messes something up.

remove it and it will work. (sorry)

 

try the SimpleFeatures replacement gui for unRAID 5

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12698.0

 

there is also a "stats" package

 

 

 

@whiteatom

change the location back to /usr/local/plex

 

its the preferable method.

 

Maybe I remove this option in a newer version, I don't see any benifits on having plex installed on the harddrive.

 

@spidi - I went into unmenu and told iStat not to reinstall on reboot and rebooted. Now iStat shows not installed and I am getting the same errors.

 

I already have Simple Features installed but maybe I'm using an older version as the Stats page only shows me my "Disk Stats" and not "unRaid Stats"

 

I'm going to update it now and see if that changes anything.

can you list all plugins you are using?

Here is everything I have from unmenu package manager:

bwm-ng

gcc-4.2.4

cxxlibs-6.0.9 (this one is interesting as it seems to do with the error, in unmenu it says "Unless you are running a version of unRAID where this /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 library was accidentally omitted, there is no need to install this library.

It is only needed if you are running unRAID 4.4-beta2 through 4.5-beta5

This package will NOT install itself if /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 already exists on your server" but for some reason it is installed but not downloaded on my system. I think when I first got started with unRaid I may have been on 4.6...

dmidecode

hdparm

iftop

unMenu Image Server

lighttpd

lsof

midnight commander

monthly parity check

inraid mover exclude underscore

openssl

PHP

reiserfsprogs version 3.6.21

rsync

SMART tools

unRaid Web

 

 

it looks like that this packagecould be the problem: (cxxlibs-6.0.9)

./Plex Media Server: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ./Plex Media Server)

I can't uninstall it from the unmenu GUI. Do you think I should  remove it from the disk and restart? Any ideas what the symbols mean next to these items?

 

libstdc++.so.6@   libstdc++.so.6.0.13*   libstdc++.so.6.0.9*

 

I'm also concerned as it seems I also have version .13 along with .9. They both have "*" next to them when I ls the dir and the one stated in the error has "@" next to it.

ask the package maintainer how to remove it safely.

I cant really help you there

Just ran 3 days with 0.9.5.3..as stated earlier it fixed my subtitle issues...but..

IT IS INCREDIBLY UNSTABLE

 

I'm sure its not my config.

 

The whole server crashes randomly at least once a day.

I don't have time to dig into it (again...) so may just downgrade...

 

This is the fourth version im running. So far 0.9.5.2 has been the most solid.

 

@Mithrandir

 

can't confirm that, mine works like a charme.

 

I've not had too much trouble with it either.  The media manager seems to be running slower but I'm not getting any crashes.  I still have to restart plex at least once a day (transcoder problem still I think, haven't checked logs since upgrade).

 

 

 

Woohoo!

 

So I tried deleting that package and it was gone but the problem still remained...

 

Just googled the crap out of my error and found it to be not uncommon on some other linux threads.

 

Advice there for folks was basically to rename the original version and symlink a newer version as the original:

 

For me the newer version I had was .13 so:

 

sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.13 libstdc++.so.6

 

and now "Plex Media Server is running"

 

Woohoo!

 

thanks to spidi for all the back and forth and to whiteatom for chiming in.

 

Now I have some Simple Features to update!

 

Anyone had any luck getting Plex plugins to work on this? I tried the DVD order plugin (by just copying the DVD order plugin.bundle to my Application Support/Media Server/Plug-ins directory) but it didn't seem to do anything. Apparently that's all you have to do to install plugins on it.

 

Seems like I may be doomed to having incorrectly named Firefly episodes

Anyone else experience this in 0.9.5.3....

 

When I got to scan the library from the web media manager, it creates a Plex Media Scanner process that never exists.. The little spinning cursor appears indicating it's scanning, but it never stops. Even going back a few hours later, it's still scanning (but it isn't).. The process is just sitting there and prevents any new scans from taking place.

 

 

no sorry, no problems there

Looks like I had conflicting python versions..

 

no issues at all here .. works great ...

kid is using plex all the time ....

never hear him complain ... except when i haven't dlded anything new for him

UPDATE to PMS 0.9.5.3

 

Thank you, working great for me as well

@whiteatom

change the location back to /usr/local/plex

Sooo.. things got a lot worse before they got better.

 

I stopped the plugin moved the install dir to /usr/local/plex and started it again and then I get this error popping up on the gui:

ValueError: bad marshal data (unknown type code)

 

I started it from the command line (/etc/rc.d/rc.plex start) and it starts fine, but my scanner agents were all gone.

 

Anyway.. deleted everything in /usr/local/plex and re-ran the installer and all seems to be well. I'll give you the update when I restart.

 

Cheers and thanks for the help.

I'm not sure what it is, 0.9.5.2 was more stable for me then 0.9.5.3 so far.

With all versions though i've had at least some form of failing transcoding, after which i would need to restart PMS. (There do seem to be transcoding problems with the Linux PMS version..if you spend some time on Plex forum you'll see many people have transcoding break down randomly).

 

How does soft links tie in? I've switched that on now to see if it makes any difference. I didn't need to before (No memory issues or so) but switched it on this time anyway...

My PMS was crashing every few hours or so (0.9.5.3) but in the end I weighed up the benefits of having a dot at the front of the directory name VS having a completely stable PMS, and I decided to go with the latter. Hasn't crashed since.

 

I am however now experiencing a problem with PMS scanning my TV library forever. It started earlier and has been running since (despite not finding anything). Has anyone had this? I wonder if a downgrade to 0.9.5.2 might fix this - is it easy to downgrade?

Anyone else experience this in 0.9.5.3....

Even going back a few hours later, it's still scanning (but it isn't).. The process is just sitting there and prevents any new scans from taking place.

 

I also just had this today. I decided to downgrade to 0.9.5.2 and the WebUI is way faster, it scans much more quickly and things start playing much more quickly on the Android app now. I'd recommend anyone to downgrade to 0.9.5.2. Don't know if this was the quickest way to do it, but all I did was delete the 9.5.3 .plg file and replace it with the 0.9.5.2 one then reboot. For anyone looking for it, I found a link from earlier in the thread:

My PMS was crashing every few hours or so (0.9.5.3) but in the end I weighed up the benefits of having a dot at the front of the directory name VS having a completely stable PMS, and I decided to go with the latter. Hasn't crashed since.

I never had hidden folders to begin with. I use an application drive (SSD) which is humming away nicely.  (Ok, it doesn't hum..its an SSD..)

0.9.5.2 was entirely stable except for:

- Subtitles not working - could cause transcoding to halt entirely untill PMS restart

- Occasionally needed to restart PMS to get transcoding to work again (Very annoying..) - Direct streams to TV always worked

I mainly upgraded to get the above 2 fixed.

 

0.9.5.3 so far:

- Subtitle issue fixed (yaay)

- PMS manage web page becomes unresponsive after X hours

- Cannot login / connect to PMS at all after X hours (PMS process is still running, so not sure what is going on)

 

When i find the time i will go through all the logs but for now ill be downgrading to 0.9.5.2, .3 is a step back in absolutely everything but subtitles.

so far it does not seem to be memory issues, so it may be something new.

 

Note i have various other services running on the same box without issue

Ah! That may explain the reason that my Android phone was suddenly unable to play videos (both over myPlex and over wifi) as I assume it generally does some form of transcoding. In which case, that is also an issue in 0.9.5.3..
