June 12, 201214 yr Moving away from the hidden directory to a cache only share seemed to have fixed my problem of PMS becoming unresponsive. I also took this as an opportunity to move all other plugins to cache only share. The only that that was painful was crashplan because I had to track down a setting in an xml file that was using the old path. Thanks for the great plugin spidi!
June 13, 201214 yr sorry can someone explain the new way to install? i only know how to drag and drop plgs lol.. is this some telnet install? so i create /boot/extras on the root of the flash drive and drop the file in?
June 13, 201214 yr Author thats basically it, yes! (on the root of the flashdrive you create only "/extra"; if your system is running you have to create an folder named "extra" in "/boot"
June 16, 201214 yr i'm trying to delete my plex library but it won't let me on windows or mac... can someone tell me what i need to do to delete it? can i do it via telnet? tried to install the newest version and when i try to start it i get this root@Server:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8): No such file or directory nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'
June 16, 201214 yr Author root@Server:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8): No such file or directory nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' let me guess you are running unmenu, and you habe a package named gcc-.*.tgz in /boot/packages/
June 16, 201214 yr root@Server:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8): No such file or directory nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' Spidi... I have the same error... what does it mean? And yes I have unmenu and those packages... how do I fix this problem? I do not know what those packages do. or if they are necessary for unmenu to function. let me guess you are running unmenu, and you habe a package named gcc-.*.tgz in /boot/packages/
June 16, 201214 yr Author it looks like gcc messes something up, and you can't export LC_ALL any more. the only solution is to remove the gcc package, but I think you need it, if you want status emails (if I remember correctly), for this I would suggest to use simplefeatures replacement GUI.
June 16, 201214 yr Can you tell me how to remove it? Do I just delete all of the gcc files from my packages dir? or remove via UNMENU somehow?
June 16, 201214 yr Author I would say disable it in unmenu (if thats possible haven't used unmenu in quite a while )
June 16, 201214 yr I would say disable it in unmenu (if thats possible haven't used unmenu in quite a while ) I just removed the files, did a reboot and voila! it works! thanks again Spidi!! You rock!!
June 16, 201214 yr Looks like I need to move Plex out of hidden directory and make a cache only share ? What's best way to do this ? I've not used shares before. Thanks
June 16, 201214 yr Author -stop plex -create cache only share ( assume /mnt/cache/plex/) - mv /mnt/cache/.plex/Library /mnt/cache/plex/ then you should have a path like /mnt/cache/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ point in the webgui to /mnt/cache/plex/Library - start plex that should do it!
June 17, 201214 yr root@Server:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8): No such file or directory nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' let me guess you are running unmenu, and you habe a package named gcc-.*.tgz in /boot/packages/ thanks that worked for me too... now can you tell me how to delete my multiple plex libraries ( i kept creating new ones cause and have created a mess that for sure reason i can't delete off the disk)
June 18, 201214 yr Spidi, I just moved to your new package version of PMS because I was suffering from some bugs in 9.6.1... But now PMS won't auto start when I reboot. I have tried putting the PMS install file in the extras and in the packages folders, but both require me to telnet in and use the rc.pms to start it manually after a boot. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot? Cheers, Whiteatom
June 18, 201214 yr Author Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot? can you give me the output of /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver version and of ls -al /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/plexmediaserver/event/
June 18, 201214 yr This all looks like how I would expect to see it.... root@knox:/boot/extra# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver version v0.9.6.3.143-4466fb5 root@knox:/boot/extra# ls -la /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/plexmediaserver/event/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2012-06-08 04:52 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2012-06-08 04:52 ../ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47 2012-06-08 04:52 disks_mounted* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47 2012-06-08 04:52 unmounting_disks* Cheers, whiteatom
June 18, 201214 yr Author yes thats right, looks all good! Do you get error messages if you start it with "/etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start"?
June 18, 201214 yr No, that's the strange thing.. It starts perfectly with the command line. I rebooted again and in the console I'm getting this a few seconds after the login prompt comes up... Unable to install PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.3.143-4466fb5-unRAID.txz: tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2) But I can just start PMS immediately after that without issues... root@knox:/boot/extra# /etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' And I can stop it and re-run the install manually and start it again with out issues... root@knox:/boot/extra# installpkg PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.3.143-4466fb5-unRAID.txz Verifying package PlexMediaServer-0.9.6.3.143-4466fb5-unRAID.txz.
