Needo plexwatch will not start

[mostlydave]

I'm trying to install a plexwatch docker, but I cannot get it to start, it stops immediately. Is something out of date, or does anyone have a workaround?

[ljm42]

Check out the installation and troubleshooting sections of the readme:

  https://github.com/needo37/plexWatch

[Spydawg]

Found the fix more me.. 

 

Needo's plexwatch does run for me but didn't connect to plex after I installed Needo's latest update for plex.

 

This is how I fixed it..

 

In Plex got to seetings/server/network/

 

and add the IP of the unraid server to the  "List of networks that are allowered without auth"

 

I attached a picture as well.

 

Hope this works for you guys.

 

[ljm42]

That will work until you enable Plex Home, at that point I think the only option is to put your username/password in the two config files.

 

I'm curious if anyone has this working with Plex Home?  I had to customize the docker to get it to work for me, but it apparently works fine for Needo the way it is.

[mostlydave]

I can now start the docker and access the web ui but I'm getting "Failed to access Plex Media Server. Please check your settings." I did put my username and password in both config files, I have the correct IP and port in the settings page, but still no connection. I am running my Plex docker in host mode, I don't know if that is making any difference, anyone have any thoughts on additional troubleshooting?

 

I've got my server's IP entered as 192.168.1.2, that's its IP and it's in host mode, I have the correct port for Plex: 32400. I do have PlexWatch in bridge mode with port 8083, but I'm not sure that matters.

[ljm42]

It sounds correct, but the main recommendation here:

  https://github.com/needo37/plexWatch

is to get started with host mode before complicating things with bridge mode.  You might consider trying that.  The easiest way to start over is to delete your plexWatch.pl, config.pl, and config.php files and restart the container, then follow the directions in the readme.

 

What version of Plex do you have and have you enabled Plex Home?  If you have enabled Plex Home then you may be up against the problem I mentioned previously, which for me meant customizing the dockerfile.

How did you go about customizing the dockerfile?  I disabled Plex Home and PlexWatch is now back working fine but I would really like to use it.

[mostlydave]

Ok guys, I'm slowly getting there, I just happened to be looking in my plex settings in HTPC Manager, and saw that it had Plex's IP as 172.17.42.1, so I plugged that in plexWatch and it looks like its talking to plex now, I'm getting stats on the home screen instead of an error.

 

I have no idea where that IP came from, I'm assuming it's the internal IP that the docker system uses, my home net work is 192.188.1.1 etc...

 

I now just have the "Failed to access plexWatch database. Please check your settings."

 

Here is my settings for the docker:

 

  container volume: /plexWatch

  Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/plexWatch

 

plexWatch settings

 

  plexWatch database: /plexWatch/plexWatch.db

 

I can browse to \\Server\appdata\plexWatch from a windows pc and see the plexWatch.db file so I'm assuming the paths above are correct.

 

I am running PMS Version 0.9.11.5 and under Settings - Users I have My Home, so I'm pretty sure home is enabled.

 

[ljm42]

How did you go about customizing the dockerfile?  I disabled Plex Home and PlexWatch is now back working fine but I would really like to use it.

 

Excellent, perfect test case.

 

If you are running unRAID 6b12 you can inspect the container by SSH'ing into your tower and typing:

docker exec -it plexWatch bash

That will give you a bash shell inside the plexWatch container.  From there, type:

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

and then try accessing plexWatch via your browser.  If the log file shows messages like this:

Call to undefined function curl_init()

Then I'll ask Needo to implement the fix I provided earlier, because it solves for that.

 

To exit the container, hit CTRL-C then type "exit"

[ljm42]

I now just have the "Failed to access plexWatch database. Please check your settings."

 

This sounds like a permissions problem with your plexWatch database.  SSH to tower and type:

 

chmod -R a+w /mnt/user/appdata/plexWatch/*

If you have enabled Plex Home then you may be up against the problem I mentioned previously, which for me meant customizing the dockerfile.

 

How did you go about customizing the dockerfile?  I disabled Plex Home and PlexWatch is now back working fine but I would really like to use it.

 

I am curious on how you modified the docker container as well, I finally got mine working, but had to turn off plex home, usernames, passwords or adding the ip to the plex settings didn't seem to make a difference....nothing would allow it to work properly with home

[mostlydave]

I now just have the "Failed to access plexWatch database. Please check your settings."

 

This sounds like a permissions problem with your plexWatch database.  SSH to tower and type:

 

chmod -R a+w /mnt/user/appdata/plexWatch/*

 

Tried that and I'm still getting the same error, just out of curiosity  I only have https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/templates under repositories, is that what everyone else is using as well?

[mostlydave]

Got it working!

 

I had to do a chmod -R 777 on the root of my PlexWatch folder as recommended here:https://github.com/ecleese/plexWatchWeb/issues/79

My fix will only help if you are getting this in your container's apache error log:

Call to undefined function curl_init()

 

You seem to be having password problems.  Be sure to put your plex username and password in both config.php and config.pl files. 

 

Also Login to Plex and go to Settings -> Server -> Connect. Verify that the account you are signed in as has a Plex Pass.

my plexwatch directory wa set at root:root so once I fixed that it, this went away. I also had to turn off plex home in order for everything to work as its supposed to....

[ljm42]

One of the effects of enabling Plex Home is that you have to provide a username and password to access Plex, apps on "localhost" can no longer just access it.  See this page for more details:

  https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203948786

 

Based on the errors you mentioned:

 

failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized

I'm guessing you haven't put your username and password into the config.php and config.pl files?

username and password are in both the files....but it still would not fully work with plex home enabled. plexwatch would generate databases, but the home page only would say cannot access plex media server....

 

just to confirm are these the latest versions?

 

plexWatch/Web Version: v1.5.4.2

plexWatch Version: v0.3.2

I'm having similar problems.

My setup  using beta12

1) PhAzE plugin for Plex

2) needo's docker plugin.

 

I am running in bridge mode because I already have sabnzbd at port 8080 via a plugin - if I try to setup docker in host mode, it seems I lose the ability to spec the port mapping that I wish to use (8080 in the docker container, 8085 being "tried" at my host).  I recognize that this could be part of my difficulties - if there are any suggestions on how I might be able to use host mode, and not conflict w/ what's already mapped to 8080, please let me know and I'll give it a try.

 

No matter what I do, I continue to get Failed to access Plex Media Server.  I have changed the uname/pwd in both the config.php and config.pl  - I even logged-out and back in via Plex Servers page - which succeeded and verified that I'm using the correct uname/pwd .

 

tail'ing /var/log/apache2/error.log from a bash shell on the docker tells me:

I really want to embrace docker instead of plugin's - but don't want to start that transition with the apps that I use plugins for until/unless I can make something new work w/o a hitch.  So far....  sigh.

 

Thanks,

If you have plex home enabled you need to make a small change to plexWatch config.php file

 

add the following line to the config.php file

 

$plexWatch['myPlexAuthToken'] = '';

 

then goto the plexWatch settings webpage, make sure you enter your username/password in the Plex Authentication section and then click save. 

 

this should populate the extra line you put in the config.php file with your authtoken and plexWeb should have no problem connecting to plex

Hi scottc - thanks for the reply.

 

My config.php already has this field (empty = '') as downloaded.    But, I have some other oddities occurring when I try to save from the plexWatch settings page - I've removed/updated the container several times today and this recurs.

 

When I save from the plexWatch settings page, it seems the config.php gets corrupted and ends up looking like this:

 

<?php

require_once '/var/www/html/plexWatch/includes/functions.php';

$plexWatch['myPlexUser'] = '<my plex UserID here>';h.db';

?>lexWatch['chartsGrouping'] = 'no';'no';';zuywyDstNH';

 

So - I've been hand-editing the file w/ my userID/pwd.    Any other thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

 

Also - even though my config.pl has $debug_logging = 1, I get no debug.log file produced in my plexWatch dir.

 

Thanks again, and regards,

-Jim

Another interesting piece of info...

If I intentionally use an incorrect or missing password in the plexWatch config page and press Save - I get a message telling me that

  "myPlex authentication failed"

 

If I correct the password, and press Save - then it tells me:

  "Settings saved"

 

So it appears as if all authentication to Plex succeeds just fine from the plexWatch configuration/settings page - it knows that it can access and authenticate with plex.    However, it still fails to permit me to see anything that's happened - always telling me:

 

    Failed to access Plex Media Server. Please check your settings.

 

from the plexWatch page.

Sorry jmaino,  Don't really know why your config file would be getting messed up like that.
