Running Turbo or Deep Scan does not remove the dead entries, nor does emptying the trash.

Have you tried the "lean bundles" option under "more"?

 

I do recall having some issues with deletions taking some time to actually go away, but they always seem to eventually.  If they are still showing tomorrow I'd post to the plex boards.  Be prepared for them to ask for scanner logs.

Sadly, the Plex forums have been relatively useless which is why I'm leaning so heavily on you guys.

Hi all,

 

Unraid 5.0.4. Plex  0.9.8.10.215-020456b installed via Plex Updater 1.7.

 

Plex will not start-up until I remove:

 

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

 

from

/boot/config/plugins/plexmediaserver/exportsettings

 

Fine, except that after a reboot, exportsettings has those lines added back in.

 

What file do I need to edit that writes export settings, in order for them to be persistent?

 

Thanks

 

If you want to mount a SNAP drive to use with Plex, add the following to your go file:

 

/boot/config/plugins/snap/snap.sh -m ShareName

 

If you want to mount and share a SNAP drive, add the following to your go file:

 

/boot/config/plugins/snap/snap.sh -ms ShareName

 

"ShareName" is the share name you have assigned to the drive.

 

This will mount the SNAP drive before the Plex plugin starts.

Any of you been using Plex Home Theater on your front ends ?

Not I.  All my clients are thin: roku, android, and an experimental RasPi

As are mine.  Multiple Rokus, iOS devices, and Samsung Smart TV app.

I use Plex Home Theater. I have a Zotac ZBox I use as a Windows 7 HTPC attached to the plasma TV in my den. Works better than the old client for me. I also have it installed on our main Windows 7 workstation PC which sits next to my unRAID (with Plex Media Server) in the "computer room".

 

Also have an experimental rasPi but haven't done much with it yet.

Anyone any thoughts on this? The exportsettings file is on my flash drive, so should be persistent, but it is being overwritten every boot.  Something must be creating it!

I've been using PHT in our main viewing room from August and it's now very stable (especially after the official release). The latest releases added a lot of functionality and stability. PHT is the most advanced Plex client when it comes to AV-fidelity. If eg. HD-sounds are not critical you could look at Roku, Samsung Blu-ray or similar for much cheaper player. It will also take some effort to reach the same kind of appliance usability with PC as you get with Roku/Samsung.

 

I'm running it in a Zotac Z-Box Nano AD13 with Pulse Eight HDMI-CEC module which gives the ability to control everything with my TV's remote. The setup was super simple: Win8, AMD drivers, Pulse Eight drivers and PHT. Everything worked out of box. When I switch to Zotac's input on tv it automatically wakes it from standby. I also put the box in "kiosk" mode following this guide: http://cybernetnews.com/xbmc-run-boot-xbmc-startup-windows-8/

 

The main complaint I have in my setup is the noise from Zotac, the fan is getting annoyingly loud when playing high bitrate movies. Also there are quite a lot of small details when using a PC in a remote only fashion. Few weeks ago my wife phoned that she cannot watch her favourite tv-series since there is an "Check out the Win 8.1 upgrade in store" message on the screen which couldn't be closed with the remote...

 

I cannot find any download for Plex Home Theater.  I guess it used to be called Plex desktop and they renamed it.  However, only Plex Media Center is on the Plex home page for downloading.

 

got link please?

Plex Home Theater (PHT) is at the moment only available to Plex Pass members due to being in beta. It is the future replacement for Plex Media Center (PMC). There is no development on the PMC but it is still very much functional and the official production PC client. If you don't want to become a Plex Pass member then you will not miss too much by using PMC. And yes, the way they name these things can get a bit confusing...

 

I see they now have the Plex Home Theater client. Would this now be the flag ship for Win 8 HTPC setup?  I just dl and will install and test....

Running unRAID 5.0.4 Plus and PMS-0.9.8.18.290

 

I just ran into an issue almost like this as I tried to add Plex to unRAID for the first time tonight. I was able bring up Plex using a browser though, but if I tried to add section (TV Shows and Movies), no shows/movies would get added. The UI seemed to tell me it wasn't even trying to update, as it immediately gave the Scan Complete message after adding and refresh attempts. Log files weren't helpful either, even in verbose mode. There wasn't even a scanner log to look at. Just the system log. I've attached outputs of that log before and after the change I describe below.

 

Commenting out the following lines:

 

#export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
#export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

 

in the file:

 

/boot/config/plugins/plexmediaserver/exportsettings

 

along with a restart of Plex either via command line:

 

/etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver stop
/etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start

 

or the unRAID UI:

 

Settings -> Plex Media Server -> Enable Plex Media Server set to No -> Apply Enable Plex Media Server set to Yes -> Apply.

 

Resolved the issue. However, as seen by user page3, a reboot reverted these changes.

 

I then made a copy of the exportsettings file with commented lines and added this to my go script (created a newdirectory to keep things straight, but not necessary):

 

cp /boot/config/Plex_exportFix/exportsettings /boot/config/plugins/plexmediaserver/exportsettings

/etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver stop
sleep 8
/etc/rc.d/rc.plexmediaserver start

 

I picked sleep 8 just to make sure it was completely down, might be able to lower that though.

 

Now, this fix will work as long as exportsettings never changes. I plan to check that file for any difference before future reboots.

 

I do have "C" compiler & development tools installed currently, which at some point in my searching was mentioned. I did not try uninstalling this package to see if it is the actual conflict. I also have unmenu, apcupsd x.10, monthly parity check, clean powerdown, screen, mail and ssmtp, and unRAID Status Alert sent hourly by e-mail installed. I do not have simple features.

Plex Updater says there is a new update, but it won't install.  I see an error in the log that says URL missing...so it deletes the current version out of the /boot/extra/ and then fails to dl the new one.  If you reboot, no PMS.  The plugin must need to be updated or the new PMS URL is jacked up.

 

Plugin shows the new version is:  0.9.8.17.282-c844f09

 

Plugin Updater still at 1.7

I read on another thread that the PLEX site has been dramatically changed. The URL to the PLEX plugin download changed, and the Updater needs fixing.

Choices seem to be: Stay on 282, or download directly from the PLEX site, until the updater is updated.

It's pretty easy to update it yourself. Just download the new unRAID Plex Server from the Plex website and put it in /boot/extra.

Then, installpkg <filename>.

 

If everything is working OK then delete the old Plex version from /boot/extra.

 

unRAID automatically installs everything in /boot/extra when it boots so you don't need to do anything else.

ya, I know how to do manually.  I just got spoiled with the nice plugin.  Maybe when he fixes the plugin, he can just combine with the main unraid plex package so we have one icon.

+1

 

Tried to ask for assistance on the Plex Forums for the combination of an updater + PMS within one plugin, but no responses. Would be nice though..

Many thanks to you and user page3  for drawing attention to this and the solution - I would never have thought of trying that and I've been scratching my head for hours , searching the various forums , trying to get the plex server to actually run.  I was having a similar difficulty in getting the server to actually start.  Kept on starting it, only to see it go back to 'stopped'.  Now after making your suggested changes to the 'exportsettings' file,  its actually running.....

Plexupdater updated to 1.8 by bennie-chan

takes care of the changes made on the plex website

thanks for lettings us know!  way cool

I updated to the PMS updater version 1.8 and I noticed that when you tell it to use plexpass pre-releases it no longer asks for login. Is it like that for everyone else? Or did something possibly get messed up when I updated it?

It's like that for me as well.  I assume benni-chan just removed the option because it doesn't need to be configured since it's not YOUR Plex user/pass anyway, but the default pre-release user/pass.

Not a huge secret and all, but it would be nice to not publish the plexpass pre-release download credentials.

Removing from OP. I was thinking the pre-releases wouldn't run without a valid PlexPass user/pass, but maybe that's the PHT client, not PMS.
