Needo Docker Plex: how to update to newest plex

Featured Replies

Hi Needo

 

thanks for all the great work. I am running your sab and sick rage and plex. San and sick will update from within no problem. Plex is telling me there is a new update but when I do docker update nothing happens. says I am up to date. Do I have to wait until you update docker or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks for all the help and great work.

I think with needo's plex all you have to do is stop and start the container and plex will update itself

thanks squid...will try

I was trying to update my Plex library after I added some content, and somehow unintentionally I got to the Plex update screen (see attached), and it started the update process.  What is surprising is the slow pace of the update; the 20MB file shown at the bottom is at 34% and it's taken almost an hour to reach that point.  Is this normal, or maybe result of an overloaded server on the other end?

 

Also I'm not sure how I got to the update process, since I didn't stop and restart the server as Squid mentioned above.

Lately, docker's servers have been having speed issues from time to time. It will download eventually.

 

Nothing we can do

Thanks aptalca... 3 hours for a 20MB file seems a bit ridiculous... not even back in the day with my old 1200 baud modem! 

 

I'll try to figure out how I started the update process, if it takes that long I don't want to get caught by surprise unable to use Plex for hours at a bad time like when I have guests over.

Word of warning, the update screws the trakt and unsupported plugins

After upgrade, I had to reinstall all of my video plugins e.g. iPlayer, TED etc.  But trakt does not show at all and neither does the unsupported app stall

It could be permissions related.

 

If your trakt.bundle has permission issues and plex cannot access it, it wouldn't load.

 

You might have to fix permissions on your entire plex folder

Good idea, what chmod should they be?

you can use the tool in unraid to "fix permissions" on any or all drives in your system. I've been fixing cache each time I add a docker for the config folders

I don't think plex likes it folders to be owned by nobody.

also if you have any other containers that save config that shouldn't be owned by nobody, that's gonna screw things up.

best to do it in exec or outside the container at the specific folder level.

My library folder stored on my SSD is 999.users

How do I fix permissions?  I've forgotten

in my case .....

 

looking at the dir with the library directory in it....

 

chown -R 999.users Library

 

I also

 

chmod -R 777 Library

cd to the plex folder. For me, that is

cd /mnt/cache/appdata/plexmediaserver

Then to recursively set permissions

chmod -R 755 Library

and to recursively set ownership

chown -R 999:users Library

All done, still nothing...

Did you restart the server after changing permissions?

 

are the trakt and unsupported appstore bundles in your plugins folder?

Yes

Yes, see screenshot

The latest Plex update [today] has fixed the problem :)

  • 1 year later...

It seems like this docker was broken with the latest update of plex to version 1.0.

Also using Needo's Plex docker and unable to get the 1.0 version.
