ruablack2 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just installed PlexWatch in a new docker from needo/plexwatch. I have tried everything. It is running in host mode. Plex however is still a plugin because it running the latest Plex Pass version and I can't find a docker with that version. I have literally tried EVERYTHING. Even permissions of the database its self. Quote Link to comment
eroz Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Needo docker allows you to specify which version you want to run (PlexPass). Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Youre missing a container volume. Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks now Plex is running in a docker. PlexWatch still isn't working. Quote Link to comment
eroz Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Did you try playing a video on plex? What kind of errors are on the log? Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yes I have. This is the only thing in the log. It is repeated about 3 or 4 times. *** Shutting down runit daemon (PID 11)... *** Killing all processes... *** Running /etc/my_init.d/00_regen_ssh_host_keys.sh... *** Running /etc/my_init.d/edge.sh... Bleeding edge not requested *** Running /etc/my_init.d/firstrun.sh...

eroz Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 That is my log as well. What happens when you navigate to http://Tower:8080/plexWatch/ Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 It can access Plex fine but not it's own database. Quote Link to comment
esvinson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 eroz, ruablack2, as an FYI, I implemented auto PlexPass version detection into Needo's plex docker a few versions ago. If you want to always run the latest plexpass version you shouldn't need to specify the VERSION parameter any longer. When a new version is released all you have to do is stop/start the plex container and it should update to the latest plexpass version. As for plexWatch I ended up running Plex and plexWatch both in 'host' network mode, and then updated the plexWatch docker to use my own version: esvinson/plexwatch:latest (template url: https://github.com/esvinson/docker-containers/tree/master) which defaults to port 8082 so it doesn't conflict with SABnzbd using port 8080. My PlexWatch volume config: /logs - /mnt/user/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/ /plexWatch - /mnt/user/appdata/plexWatch Might check the permissions/ownership on the plexWatch.db file if it's having trouble accessing the database. Mine appear to be: -rw-rw-rw- nobody users Running this should list the contents of the path with the database/config in it: docker exec plexWatch ls -al /plexWatch -Eric/Heuristic Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Still doesn't work. Quote Link to comment
eroz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Try deleting the docker and all files related to plexwatch from your docker app location and then add it again. Quote Link to comment
clowrym Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had this issue when plea Home was enabled.....Once i turned it off, all was fine Quote Link to comment
ivez Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For plexwatch db permission issues I did the following: Stop plexwatch docker then chmod -R 777 on the root of the PlexWatch folder. Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 eroz, ivez, I've tried that many times. clowrym, I think I have seen a related problem to mind a couple months ago and that was the solution but I use Plex Home and don't really want to turn it off. I just don't see how Plex Home can effect whether or not it can access it's database. Is anyone else using Plex Home with a working plexWatch? Quote Link to comment

That way I only share the G, PG, PG-13 movies with my kids. I have not had an issue with plexWatch, other that when first installing it. Quote Link to comment
ivez Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Same here I use plex home with plexwatch and it works great. Like the previous poster plex home works great if you have kids. I've tagged all the my child friendly media with a 'kids' tag and then applied a filter to my sons plex account. For reference I use the following dockers: Needo/plex Needo/plexwatch If you need me to check anything let me know. Quote Link to comment
eroz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Did you try these tips? ?Troubleshooting To read the docker logs: •From the unRAID docker manager, click on the status/log column •Or from a shell type "docker logs plexWatch" Common errors: •If the log shows "Unable to locate the 'Plex Media Server.log' file": ?Check your paths as described in the "New Installation Instructions" section. Capitalization matters. •If the log shows: "AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name..." ?It is safe to ignore this message •If plexWatchWeb loads, but gives a "Failed to access plexWatch database" error message: ?Login to Plex and go to Settings -> Server -> Connect. Verify that the account you are signed in as has a Plex Pass. ?Start watching a movie, wait a few minutes, then try accessing plexWatchWeb again. •If plexWatchWeb loads, but gives a "Failed to access Plex Media Server" error message: ?Ensure the Plex docker is running(!) and is in host mode ?Review the "Host mode vs Bridge mode" section. It is likely that the wrong server ip or wrong username/pasword is specified in the config files. The same details need to be provided in both config.pl and config.php. •Still having problems? ?Review the docker log as described above ?Review the debug.log file located in your plexWatch directory ?If you have edited config.pl or config.php, delete them and restart the docker to start fresh Esp. this one. •If plexWatchWeb loads, but gives a "Failed to access plexWatch database" error message: ?Login to Plex and go to Settings -> Server -> Connect. Verify that the account you are signed in as has a Plex Pass. ?Start watching a movie, wait a few minutes, then try accessing plexWatchWeb again. Quote Link to comment
Rich Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I've just installed the plexWatch docker and have exactly the problem, has anyone found a solution to this? Rich Quote Link to comment
ruablack2 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nope still don't have a solution. I've tried everything. It's sad, I really wanted to use plexWatch. Quote Link to comment
shooga Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 FWIW I was having this problem and was troubleshooting for a while. Then in the end, when I played a movie for a while it turned out that it was working fine. Not sure if I fixed anything at all in my troubleshooting or if it was fine all along. I'd try that first...
