Created new directory using "mkdir /mnt/cache/plex".  Changed the library directory to "/mnt/cache/plex".  Changed "Run as user:" to "root".  Same error.

ok, whats the output of:

cd /usr/local/bin/
./plex.sh

ok, whats the output of:

cd /usr/local/bin/
./plex.sh

 

root@Vault:/usr/local/bin# ./plex.sh
./plex.sh: line 3: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-
root@Vault:/usr/local/bin# terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

 

vi plex.sh

and remove these lines:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

 

do you know how to use vi?

 

and try it again.

vi plex.sh

This fixed the problem.  Instead of removing the lines, I merely commented them out.  I saw references to these lines earlier, but I thought they only caused a problem with filenames using non-standard characters.  Obviously that was incorrect.  Thanks for working with me on getting this resolved.

glad I could help.

 

I recommend to edit the plugin file, otherwise you have to do it every reboot.

Works well. Thank you.

 

For those that follow I installed here

 

Install directory:    /usr/local/plex

Library directory:    /mnt/cache/.apps/plex

Temp directory:  /mnt/cache/.apps/plex/tmp

Run as user:  nobody

 

and had to create the install folders manually and change their ownership (chown) to nobody/users before it would run.

 

Thanks again

Those are my settings as well, with the addition of having to comment out the locale information in the .sh file as well.

I'm trying to get this to start but I am having the same issue that aiden was having before.

 

Install directory:    /usr/local/plex

Library directory:    /mnt/cache/Apps/Plex

Temp directory:  /mnt/cache/Apps/Plex/tmp

Run as user:  nobody

 

My library directory contains my previous Plex library. I might have to start over and do what joeshmoe1 did and see if that works.

If you have one, you don't have to start over.

Just set the rights with:

chown -R nobody:users /path/to/your/library/

 

I don't do this in my script, because with a big library it takes about 5 min to do it.

(and I don't think its an good idea to do this every reboot)

 

please check if you have the same issues like aiden with "export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8". (see above)

spidi,

 

I manage to get it to work with your suggestion above. I also corrected the path of my Library to /mnt/cache/Apps/Plex/Libary which fixed the issue.

 

Thank you very much! I'm slowly switching over all apps that I installed to the new plug in system. Still learning the code for the plugin system. Hopefully someone can port over Airvideo and Subsonic to the new plugin system.

Have just installed:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26598301/unRaid_plugins/plex-0.9.3.5-noarch-0.4ds.plg

 

When I go to the Plex WebGUI on port 32400 I get 'This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.'

 

Any ideas, I can grab a screenshot when I get home if that helps?

 

Thanks!

you have to go to:

or use the Link on the settings page

You should still be doing this.  Even if it takes a while on the first install it will need to be done.  On subsequent runs it will take very little time since it has already been changed.

I'm an idiot... That's worked... thank-you v. much 

Not sure if anyone else has the issue of Plex on AppleTV crashing or audio being out of sync, but I read that the fix was for an updated ffmpeg.  I wrote up this tutorial on how to replace the ffmpeg in Plex's dir to the new one

 

http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/31286-ffmpeg-update-for-unraid/page__gopid__202430#entry202430

 

I went a step further and (hope you don't mind) edited the plg to add the new ffmpeg and new path.  It's working here.  Hope this helps someone.

 

EDIT

Forget it, this doesn't work   Sorry all

plex-0.9.3.5-noarch-0.4ds.plg.savestheday.txt

I'm not sure why but I get "We're sorry but there was a problem attempting to play 'name': null" when playing any videos from my TV Shows share. All videos in my Movies share works properly.

 

I never got that error before I moved to the new plug in system. Did anyone experience this issue?

no Sorry.

 

but what have you used before?

I ask because, if you haven't set the PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR variable,

the directory order is a little bit different.

 

Maybe thats the problem.

 

Forgive me but I figured out why I was getting the NULL error when playing my TV Shows. I changed the season structure of all the TV Shows thereby, the Plex TV Shows library is now pointing to old directory.

 

I had to update my Plex TV Shows library. Not sure why Plex did not update it automatically since I set it to update my Library when it detects changes to my folders.

 

Sorry for the user error.

no problem

 

the main thing is its working. 

Plex 0.9.5 is now available. Awesome new features! Check the info and screen casts at http://elan.plexapp.com/2011/10/28/laika-revealed/

 

Waiting for the Unraid/Slackware version.

Already updated all my clients 

 

Plugin is nearly ready, i'm waiting only for the new download link.

Plugin with the Laika prerelease is ready.

 

If someone wants to try it, say so and I sent you a PM with the link.
