blu3_v2 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I know it will function the same, but I'm not sure about the rescan. As far as I know, Plex used a tag to identify the movies, so I would assume when it goes to rescan it will locate all of the meta data locally. But I've never done what you're asking so I'm not 100% sure. Thanks PhAZE, I might try and post over on the Plex forums and see if I can get an answer and report back. Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 You need to run it for now. I may add a shortcut in the future. I couldn't make it the default because the goal is to not conflict with anything OS related for its dependencies. Quote Link to comment
blu3_v2 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For those looking to Change the location of their Library (or mounting location in unRAID), I have received some advice from the Plex Support Forums to follow the directions given in this article: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201154537-Move-Media-Content-to-a-New-Location I will be giving this a try prior to updating to v6.

cypres0099 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Do you happen to have an "extras" folder on the root of your USB? If so is there anything in it? The Plex app has no dependencies, so my plugin literally downloads and extracts the install folder and then runs it. In wondering if maybe it is a port problem. If you can get it stated, try changing the port it uses to connect externally. As for getting it going, when using the cache drive, the array must be stated in order for the app to work. Check in the Plex log and syslog to see of any new errors are showing some you did get out working once. I don't have an extras folder. Do you mean that I should change the port from 32400 to something else like 33400? Quote Link to comment
cypres0099 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I just tried resinstalling fresh using just the default settings except changing that port number. It did the same thing as before and while it's loading it says "Failed to extend" and give several paths right in a row. Quote Link to comment
cypres0099 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Btw, PhAzE, just bought you a few beers. Thanks for spending your time trying to help me through this. I'm not completely unraid literate. Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks, I appreciate it. To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen the problem you're having with Plex. It used to work, then stopped, and the errors you have are not really common. I'm running beta 15 myself so I know it does work. You won't be able to change the internal port on the plugin. Can you send a screen shot of your plugin settings page? Quote Link to comment

I'd really like to get it working on the memory again. Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Does that "temporarycache" folder exist on your cache drive also? I would suggest moving it to your cache drive also so your library ribs of the cache drive instead of the array, and at the path to /mnt/cache instead of /mnt/user. I've heard some spots don't like having their config directories in the /mnt/user mount. Quote Link to comment

ariflukito Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi PhAzE, Not sure if you can help me or not but it seems that btsync update just wiped my whole filesystem. I just updated the btsync plg to the latest one and I found out it has resetted all my btsync config. So I set the config to what it was before (installation dir /mnt/cache/.apps/btsync and config /mnt/cache/.apps/btsync/config). Then the script trying to move old config to new location. Somehow old location was default to "/" (root). So I think it moved everything under root to nowhere. I had telnet session open and I couldn't list any directory (/bin/ls not found). I checked my flash drive and it's completely empty now. I haven't checked any of my drives yet. It's late now maybe I check them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I had a report of this prior and will be putting am update to prevent that from happening again. It only affects root as far as I saw, so your drives should be unaffected. I'm not sure yet why that is happening only with that plugin just yet. Quote Link to comment

I've heard some spots don't like having their config directories in the /mnt/user mount. The temporarycache folder is a share that I created on the cache drive. If I put the folder directly on the cache drive without creating a share, won't it erase everything when it runs the mover? Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 What I did was make a folder on the cache drive called .apps and the period at the start prevents the mover from moving that folder. I think that is still the case on the latest unraid versions too. I set my app install directories in that /mnt/cache/.apps folder and I make a second one called /mnt/cache/.appdata and in there I put all my config directories for each app in their own separate sub folder. Works for me so far without any issue. Quote Link to comment

Or do I have to start fresh? Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 If you use the plugin to change/create those directories it should move everything for you automatically. Quote Link to comment

That is the old way of keeping it away from mover, but it also means you may not be able to see it under certain situations, like browsing. The new way is to make it a share and set it to cache-only.

Fodder Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi PhAzE, firstly thank you for all your work with these plugins, 128 pages of help! i am a longtime user of filebot on my torrenting machine (win7) and i am migrating that to my new v6 server with r torrent docker. i just cant figure out how to call filebot from rtorrent. in the winodws world i use "C:/Program Files/Filebot/filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "V:" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def plex=media-pc --def music=y artwork=n "ut_label=%L" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D" which extrapolates to: "C:/Program Files/Filebot/filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "V:" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def plex=media-pc --def music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=Castle.2009.S07E22" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=" "ut_dir=T:\Completed torrents\Castle.2009.S07E22" that in turn is feed to the CMD line and filebot runs (well actually it doesn't its a know bug with utorrent version i have to run) so my question is now that i am moving from the windows world to linux what do you put in the "program to run" in your torrent client? does that make sense?

roland Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Fodder, I had the same issue earlier. One problem here is that your torrent in the docker container does not have access to the FileBot plugin. (by design) I have worked around this by running a cron job and "integrating" Flexget, torrent and FileBot via files. Flexget finds new torrents and saves them in the watch folder Torrent picks it up and after complete download moves the media to completed FileBot scans completed and moves to the library Plex refreshes Probably not the fanciest way of doing it, but it works. Happy to share the script once I get home tonight. Quote Link to comment
cypres0099 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Woohoo! Changing the persistent folders to /mnt/cache/.appdata/... and installing to the ram drive totally worked! Hope fully it lasts. Thanks a lot! In the future, should I refrain from pushing the big blue update button on the settings page? That's what broke everything. Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 No thats still the best way to update, I will update btsync so it doesn't mess up the boot drive but when I'll get time is unclear at the moment. Quote Link to comment
thaddeussmith Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Serviio seems to have broken after upgrading to RC2, though not sure how. The plugin installs and is able to be managed in the settings page, but cannot be found anywhere on the network. Uninstalled/re-installed with no change, so I'm wondering if there are any OS dependencies that were removed which might have an effect (such as python?). Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well when I did the dependencies, I filled in the gaps that wetter missing by the os so I'll need to check every app again. Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I've started a thread about that, V6 plugins needed, in order to encourage standardization, help avoid the dependency incompatibilities of the past. I'm hoping you will weigh in on that? Or perhaps you would prefer to keep control of some of them, like Python? Quote Link to comment
PhAzE Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Any dependency that is missing I can fill in via my PhAzE-Common folder so the apps work and they can't interfere with the OS operation. I'll check out that thread. Quote Link to comment
