March 19, 201214 yr Author you can do this manualy: chown -R unraid-plex:users /mnt/disk1/plex you Library is really there? the next directory is "Application\ Support/"?
March 20, 201214 yr Everything was working ok, it just took over an hour for the permissions to change. Did not realize that going on so sorry for wasting your guys time but thanks!
March 24, 201214 yr Can anyone tell me where the Resorces/Plex Transcoder directory is with this plugin. I've got a test binary to try and fix some transcoding problems that I need to drop in there but can't find it anywhere.
March 24, 201214 yr Yes, I use the default settings. Is there a trick to seeing /usr with a Mac? I've tried making hidden folders visible, tried using the "Connect to server" and specifying path as 'smb:IPaddress/usr' and 'smb:IPaddress/boot/usr' and other variations but still no luck. Tried using spotlight to search the whole server for usr and it came up with nothing. Also, I am logged into server from Mac as root.
March 24, 201214 yr Author I don't think you can do that you have to login via telnet. copy the binary to a share and move/copy it to the right position within the telnet session.
March 25, 201214 yr Thanks for the help. I tried everything to navigate to that directory to no avail. I did finally think to try using midnight commander and telnet...right about the same time you replied. Tried it and it worked great. Thanks again.
March 29, 201214 yr I can not get this to install for some reason. I am getting: root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins# ls couchpotato/ sabnzbd/ couchpotato-0.5-i468-bw.plg* sabnzbd-0.4c-i468-bw.plg* plex/ sickbeard/ plex-media-server-noarch-0.9.5.3b-ds.plg* sickbeard-0.4a-i468-1bw.plg* root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins# \installplg plex-media-server-noarc-0.9.5.3b-ds .plg installing plugin: plex-media-server-noarc-0.9.5.3b-ds Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "pl ex-media-server-noarc-0.9.5.3b-ds.plg" in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13 xml parse error Interestingly I got the older .plg file from here to work fine.
March 29, 201214 yr I think I messed up my copy paste when I did that. But I'll do it again to confirm.
March 29, 201214 yr I guess I did screw it up. I tried multiple times. How I kept putting a \ in front of it I'll never know. I first tried it by putting it in the plugins directory and rebooting the system. It didn't show up so I started trying to do it by hand. Anyhow. It looks to be running now. Now I just gotta read up on it.
March 30, 201214 yr This was up and running just fine until I shutdown the server to add more drives. Strangely, I don't even see the Plex icon in settings section anymore. Do I need to manually start something after a reboot?
March 30, 201214 yr Yep- rebooted again but no go! Plex dir is present on the USB as well as the cache drive. Is there a way for it force start?
March 30, 201214 yr Thanks- that did it. Going to try and reboot again to see if it sticks or goes blank again
March 31, 201214 yr New beta for Plex is out with DLNA support. Would you be upgrading the script for that?
March 31, 201214 yr I tweaked the plugin to get it to work...I don't want to repost as this is 99.99% spidi's work. The changes I made- and I make no guarantees this will work for anyone else were as follows: 1. Follow Spidi's direction in the OP for removing the old version (I disabled the plugin, renamed the /boot/config/plugin/plex directory; removed the /usr/local/plex directory; removed the /usr/local/emhttp/plex directory) 2. Took the PLG from Spidi's OP, edited it as follows: Lines 40-42 <FILE Name="/boot/config/plugins/plex/PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9-unRAID.tar.bz2"> <URL>http://plex-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/0.9.6.0/PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9-unRAID.tar.bz2</URL> <MD5>aa22a8ac8f04276f067b2260f3c1f6db</MD5> Line 283 Version="0.9.6.0.11-ba" Lines 461-462 PLEX_VERSION="v0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9" PLEX_TARFILE="PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9-unRAID.tar.bz2" PLEX_TARDIR="PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9" 3. Save the changes as a new PLG, copy it over to your /boot/config/plugins directory 4. Run installplg <yournewPLGfilename> Again, this is strictly a kang of Spidi's work, but hopefully it will get the over-eager amongus up and running until Spidi can make an official update. Cheers!
March 31, 201214 yr Author Hi, I created a new version of my plugin. the changes are: 1: This version only installs at /usr/local/plex. eg. in RAM. it will install version: v0.9.5.3.309-524cf73 2: there is no extra "no-UTF-8" version anymore. you can uncheck it on the settingspage if needed. 3: you have to use "cache only share" / no softlink support any more 4: to check which version is installed you can do: /etc/rc.d/rc.plex version 5: you can update PMS with: /etc/rc.d/rc.plex update It will install the newest version. at the moment this is: v0.9.6.0.11-ba33da9 please give it a try and let me now if it works. Download on first post Have FUN with Plex and DLNA
March 31, 201214 yr Awesome job as always spidi. Will install your latest plugin today and will report here. DNLA update is huge for me. Thanks! Update: New plugin is perfect. Also updated to the latest version of Plex using /etc/rc.d/rc.plex update. Will you implement an update button in the future? Thanks!
March 31, 201214 yr Many thanks for this, awesome job. Maybe I did something wrong, but it would not work until I deleted the old PMS from /boot/config/plugins/plex. Now it works like a charm. Will test DLNA later today.
March 31, 201214 yr Hi, I created a new version of my plugin. the changes are: 1: This version only installs at /usr/local/plex. Can you expound on what you mean by this? I am using cache only share. Does the plugin only support running PMS in memory and the library persistently on the cache only share? Thanks again for our hard work!
March 31, 201214 yr Author PMS runs only in memory, thats right. I don't see any advantage to store it on a HDD. You can put the Library where ever you want. I prefer my cache drive.
