December 24, 201213 yr the current rc (rc8a) is pretty stable. (i've actually never really run v4. i started with v5beta2 ^^) but before you do an update, you can just test the installation with the txz file... but my guess would be, that it wouldn't work correctly...

K. thx a lt. I'll run a test when i get back home tonight and if it doesn't work i'll upgrade to the current rc (no idea how ) thanks a lot!
December 25, 201213 yr anyone using the Roku 2 xs player with their unraid PMS setup? I heard that playback was jerky at 1080p, but that was when they first came out. Not sure if there has been firmware to resolve the playback issues.

Not sure if there has been firmware to resolve the playback issues. I use the Plex app on my Roku 2 XS player regularly and I haven't had an issue with the playback quality so far. Can you confirm that you play mkv files at 1080p with no issues? Most of the problems I read about with the ruko 2 is jerky playback with mkv files at 1080p. If yo udo have this working, I'd be interested when that started working. It was confirmed only a month or two ago to not work, so I hope there was a firmware update that fixed it. Please let us know.
December 26, 201213 yr Benni, you happen to know version of unraid necessary for your plugin / plex install? Running 5.0rc5, and am having trouble getting it to start. (your plugin as well as the server installed as expected). Syslog just has just shows it trying to start and saying something might be wrong... nothing super helpful though. Any thoughts?
December 26, 201213 yr my installation plugin requires beta11 or later (since that is the version, that the plg system was added)... i would think, plex itself should work with about any v5 version. with rc5 you are certainly on a version, which should work (but an upgrade can't really hurt.) at which point doesn't it work? the installation with my plugin or starting plex itself?
December 26, 201213 yr Starting plex stuff.. your plugin installed fine, and installed the server fine. Just when starting the server it fails. It appears to be an issue many have faced in the past now that I have done some more testing (manually trying to start it) and reading through this thread. Its getting stuck with "cannot change locale UTF-8 blah blah blah" stuff. Recommendation is to remove gcc package (unmenu) package and reboot. Can't reboot right now cause of preclear.. so unless I can come up with something else, I'll just hold off unless you know another way.
December 26, 201213 yr I been trying to make this plex media server to work but without success so far. I upgraded to the 5.0rc version of unraid. I can now see the plex configuration option under settings but still can't get it to start. Also i can mount the disk but can't aces the shares. I'm using a MAC to acces via CMD+K on finder as usual. Any idea??
December 26, 201213 yr as always, a syslog would help... what did you set as plex library directory? I can only acces the network / plex media menu. I tried the http://servername:32400/manage but didn´t work. ( i have 192.168.1.10 as static IP) I would post the syslog when i get back home. I been out of the forums for a while so could you refresh my memory about how capture the syslog?? thx
December 26, 201213 yr if you can't access any shares, i guess the easiest way would be to login via telnet (open terminal an run "telnet -l root YOUR_IP") then copy the syslog to the flash drive ("cp /var/log/syslog /boot"). you can then put the usb drive on your mac and access the syslog.
December 26, 201213 yr Ok, i´ll do that as soon as i get back. If i can´t fix the share problem would be easy to downgrade to the previous 4.7 version? I have the flash backup from before the upgrade. Thx
December 26, 201213 yr Slarco and Benni, Was able to get mine to boot up (had same error), by modifying the server plugin (the one that Benni's plugin installs) and removing the include locale lines. Start reading here. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14803.msg151961#msg151961
December 27, 201213 yr Im most worried about the fact that i can´t acces the sshares since the upgrade. Says that the shares couldn´t be mounted. Is there any easy way to fix this? I already created he users since the upgrade deleted them I rather have the shares working and dont use plex, so if I have to downgrade back to 4.7 i´ll do it. If someone can point me on the right direction. thanx a lot
December 28, 201213 yr without a syslog i can't really say, what could be wrong... as a first test, you should disable any addon, you have installed (plugins, unmenu, etc.) and reboot. see, if this clean unraid works... did you run the newperms script? (should not be the problem in this case, but who knows...)
December 28, 201213 yr Ok, this is the syslog since i did the upgrade and tried to run plex. Any way to get it to work or should i just downgrade. thx in advance and where can i disable all the add ons?? Syslog.txt
December 28, 201213 yr to disable the plugins, simply rename these directories to something else: /boot/extra /boot/config/plugins and make sure, that your /boot/config/go file is clean. there should only be two lines in it: # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & i took a quick look at your syslog. it's not a complete log (the booting is not there) one thing I saw, you tried to add a user named "Seba". usernames can only use small case letters. did you try to reconfigure the shares? maybe set them to public and not hidden, so everybody should be able to read them...

I have the users as seba / kyle now (lower case) and at the beginning the share was public, then I made them private and add both users to be able to write and read. I still dont know how to uninstall unmenu and the rest of the add ons that i used to have in 4.7. Can you help me out with that pls?

If someone can point me on the right direction. thanx a lot You ran the permission fixes after upgrading to v5 right? This is the first thing you're supposed to do after upgrading to v5 for the first time. In utilities run 'new config' and then 'new permissions'. If you have a lot of files it may take some time to run.

Or should I just leave it there for a while?
December 29, 201213 yr Yeah, that was the first thing that I tried. I´ll riun it again to make sure. But how do I know when is done?? Or should I just leave it there for a while? if you just checked the box, hit start and closed the window it didnt run... the webpage must stay open until it is complete. it shows u a progress somewhat on what disk it currently is on the bottom, under the start button. and once u see the checkbox again, it means it is done. i had all kinds of trouble with plex and permissions myself, so i almost run the "new permissions" weekly and it helped to switch to the newest version. 0.9.7.7 i think

I'll be posting as soon as i have any news thx
December 30, 201213 yr Ok, so I runned the permission repair and now i can access the shares and the plex manage page. About the extra and the plugins folder, i only have the plex media plugin. I have a few line on my go file for the mover and unmenu, should i delete both of them? go file attached. thx go.txt
December 30, 201213 yr i would remove those line for a proper test. (you don't really need unmenu, since you can install the apps via the plugin system. but of course, you can use unmenu too. but for a first run, i would try without any plugins, just to get unraid running ok. then enable one plugin/extension at a time.)
