[PhAzE] Plugins for Unraid 5/6

Featured Replies

PhAzE,

 

I am using UNRAID 12 Beta from scratch. 

I am trying to install the MediaBrowser 3 plugin and it won't install.  I have looked at all your links on the first page for solutions and did not find any that matches.

Here is the steps I installed MediaBrowser 3 plugin.

On the plugin page I copied and paste the MediaBrowser URL line into the box and click install plugin.

 

I get a window popup showing this below.  I tried to find the plugin on my flash it no where to be found?

/usr/local/sbin/plugin install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhAzE-Variance/unRAID/master/Plugins/Mbserver.plg 2>&1

plugin: installing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhAzE-Variance/unRAID/master/Plugins/Mbserver.plg

plugin: downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhAzE-Variance/unRAID/master/Plugins/Mbserver.plg

plugin: wget: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PhAzE-Variance/unRAID/master/Plugins/Mbserver.plg retval: 4

 

Are you planning to create an CrashPlan Plugin for Raid 6 beta?

 

Thanks

Try copying the plugin to your USB stick, then navigate to it from there and install via the plugin manager. You can download it by right cluck save

as

That problem existed on older builds too with chrome. I'm not sure why. On mb site there's people who have brought it up to the dev.  Also it seems to be Linux only that is affected.

 

 

FYI to all, issue has gone away on latest beta with Chrome.

I saved the file in /boot/james Plugins/ folder it gave me an error below?    I am assumed plugin needs to be put somewhere for it to run correctly?

 

/usr/local/sbin/plugin install /boot/James Plugins/._Mbserver.plg 2>&1

plugin: installing: /boot/James

 

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "" in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 171

plugin: xml parse error

That error usually means you don't have a proper XML file which might mean you need to redownload it from the first post.

I redownload it from the first post and I am still getting the error above?

 

Thanks

 

James

 

/usr/local/sbin/plugin install /boot/James Plugins/._Mbserver.plg 2>&1

plugin: installing: /boot/James

 

That error usually means you don't have a proper XML file which might mean you need to redownload it from the first post.

You're the expert, but based upon the error, isn't it the space in the folder name messing it up?
  • Author

Totally possible. I usually just put the .Plg file in /boot directly and then install from the plugin manager.

 

Edit: yes actually, it says trying to install /boot/James and that's where the command stops. Good call ;)

I moved the file into the boot folder and ran the install again.  I got passed the XML error and another error appear.about unable to download missing plugin?

 

/usr/local/sbin/plugin install /boot/Mbserver.plg 2>&1

plugin: installing: /boot/Mbserver.plg

plugin: creating: /tmp/Mbserver-script - from INLINE content

plugin: running: /tmp/Mbserver-script

Latest plugin control files downloading

...Unable to download missing plugin control files. Aborting install

plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1

To upgrade from V1 to V2 just replace the PLG file?  I thought I read that somewhere but didn't see it in the first page.

  • Author

If you replace the plg file then you need to reboot after. If you use plugin manager to install then no need for a reboot.

  • Author

@jamesdrive try the install again. If you're getting that then IRS because you can't download the file from git so either it was a failed download or something else is blocking it. Usually trying a second time will make it work.

 

I tried to install it the second time and it did not work.  I got the same error message as below.

 

/usr/local/sbin/plugin install /boot/Mbserver.plg 2>&1

plugin: installing: /boot/Mbserver.plg

plugin: creating: /tmp/Mbserver-script - from INLINE content

plugin: running: /tmp/Mbserver-script

I found the problem.  The DNS servers were not setup correctly in UNRAID network setting.   

 

I was able to download the plugin successfully. 

 

Thanks

Funny enough, you're the second person with that exact problem this week, with the DNS. Guess I'll know for the next time I see that error show up ;)

If you replace the plg file then you need to reboot after. If you use plugin manager to install then no need for a reboot.

 

Everything went fine, upgraded unRaid from 5.0.5 to 5.0.6 and all my plugins.  Thanks for the great work.  Hope you can make a Plex Connect plugin

Fresh install of unraid 6 b12 here also.. the only plugin that installed with default dns settings was sabnzb.. After changing it to just use googles it everything installed fine.

The problem is specifically with downloading from github. Maybe they have alternative links I can use instead.

I'm trying to reinstall MB 3 and get these comments:

 

1. sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

 

2. pid not created

 

I had this plugin installed and was trying to move my database files from my previous Windows server installation to this Linux installation. I was was trying to avoid days of scraping and using tons of bandwidth to collect what I already had. Not to mention all the weeks of editing I had previously done.

 

Anyway, this was a trial and error approach which resulted in the above errors. I have posted in the MB forum about how to successfully move these files. At this point, I'm not sure it can be done.

 

Can someone help me with reinstalling MB 3 and avoiding these error messages?

 

Thanks

I am having issues getting v2 of the SABnzbd plugin working. It appears there may be an issues downloading Sabnzbd-Phaze-0.7.20-src.tar.gz.

I downloaded the file manually in Chrome and copied it to /boot/packages. But Sabnzbd still will not install. When I try it still tries to download the file and fails.

  • Author

Which file did you download manually?

 

Also my plugin doesn't use the packages folder anymore, it goes in /boot/config/plugins/Sabnzbd now.

I downloaded SABnzbd-0.7.20-src.tar.gz from sourceforge. I then placed it where I thought it went. Based on your last post I now moved it to /boot/config/plugins/Sabnzbd, but Sabnzbd still will not start. I keep getting that same issue. It looks like it tries to dl the file but something goes wrong.

  • Author

Needs to be renamed "Sabnzbd-PhAzE-0.7.20-src.tar.gz"

 

Case sensitive.

Sweet. I renamed the file and I am up and running. Thanks.

Hmm my server only stopped once actually, hasn't happened again. Perhaps it's something with your database. Maybe yet running a full refresh on your collection and then clear the trash bin Plex has.

 

Did you see anything in the logs?

 

after trial and error i got everything back up and running.

but i took the chance to move on from plugin to docker

moving data over was easy after doing research on how docker works

 

i appreciate the work that has gone into these plugins - they've worked great

if you ever get into docker ill more than likely switch over to your builds

 

thank you!
