AT0MAC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I just finished installing unRAID Plus and setup my cache drive after a little trial and error. I now have a Plex session running in Docker on my cache drive in its own docker cache only share with the configuration files in a cache only share called appdata. My issue is I don't know how to add my movie library so I can watch from my Mac sitting in another room via Ethernet over Plex.... I guess I need to setup some kind of container for the files to be moved to before they appear in Plex but I can't seem to figure out how.... Quote Link to comment
expressexcess Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 You need to map your media shares to the docker, so that can add them in Plex. Here are mine, for example: Afterwards, within the plex media server, add a library of the appropriate type and add the appropriate folder that you've mapped. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 To elaborate on this example, the Host path is where your movies or whatever are on unRAID. The Container volume is where your movies or whatever will be seen within the container. Just try it and it will probably make more sense. There are a lot of examples around the forum, but if you're still stuck, post a screenshot of your docker configuration. Quote Link to comment
gundamguy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This might be silly but you are aware of how to get to the Plex management page correct? I know when i first started using these apps that wasn't intuitive, but thankfuly I was using the plugin and PhAzE made the word "Running" link to the managment page. http://(unraidname or IPaddress):32400/web Also the media naming guide might save you some touble later. https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/categories/200028098 (Don't worry if it's not all good right now, you can fix it later and rescan.) That said, i've moved to emby (was Media Broweser 3) because Plex isnt' alwasy the best about responding to problems and isn't very transparent. But both are good services that work well, with Plex working just a tiny bit better. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 You might want to check out the noobie docker setup guide, since it uses Plex as an example (with videos) http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37732.0 Quote Link to comment
AT0MAC Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I had actually already figured out the container and path parts, what I was missing is the settings page. Am now adding a bunch of media and hope when I fire up Plex it will come alive instead of being empty Quote Link to comment
AT0MAC Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Have a new problem... The media works spot on! But I would like to get PlexWatch up and running too. Have tried a bunch of things without any luck, also tried everything I can read over here It has something to do with my database file, it can't find it. My configuration file looks like this: <?php require_once '/var/www/html/plexWatch/includes/functions.php'; $plexWatch['dateFormat'] = 'm/d/Y'; $plexWatch['timeFormat'] = 'g:i a'; $plexWatch['pmsIp'] = '192.168.2.65'; $plexWatch['pmsHttpPort'] = '32400'; $plexWatch['pmsHttpsPort'] = '32443'; $plexWatch['https'] = 'no'; $plexWatch['plexWatchDb'] = '/mnt/cache/appdata/plexWatch/plexWatch.db'; $plexWatch['myPlexUser'] = '***'; $plexWatch['myPlexPass'] = '*****'; $plexWatch['myPlexAuthToken'] = '******'; $plexWatch['globalHistoryGrouping'] = 'yes'; $plexWatch['userHistoryGrouping'] = 'yes'; $plexWatch['chartsGrouping'] = 'yes'; ?> Quote Link to comment

Post your volume mappings. Quote Link to comment
AT0MAC Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Is this a plexwatch docker? Post your volume mappings. Yes, I am using Docker to run apps. Here you go: Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I don't use this, but shouldn't the path in your config file be based on the container volume? $plexWatch['plexWatchDb'] = '/plexWatch/plexWatch.db'; instead of $plexWatch['plexWatchDb'] = '/mnt/cache/appdata/plexWatch/plexWatch.db'; Quote Link to comment

ljm42 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 A couple of things... This is definitely wrong: plexWatch['plexWatchDb'] = '/mnt/cache/appdata/plexWatch/plexWatch.db'; the default setting was correct. And there is no need to add a container mapping for /Plex I'd recommend deleting whatever is in your /mnt/cache/appdata/plexWatch directory and starting over. As long as you use host mode, the default settings in config.php and config.pl should all be good, except that you need to add your Plex username and password to both files. More details are here: https://github.com/needo37/plexWatch Quote Link to comment

I had not edited my config.pl, but I have now and the first lines of it looks like this: $data_dir = '/plexWatch/'; ## to store the DB, logfile - can be the same as this script $server_log = '/logs/Plex Media Server.log'; ## used to log IP address of user (alpha) $log_client_ip = 0; ## requires $server_log to be available too. (requires File::ReadBackwards) ## also required DEBUG log to be turned on in the PMS $debug_logging = 1; ## logs to $data_dir/debug.log ( not verbose enough yet.. still todo ) ## myplex user/pass ONLY required if you have set the PMS to 'Require authentication on local networks' and $server is not set to localhost $myPlex_user = 'yyy'; $myPlex_pass = 'xxx'; $server = '192.168.2.65'; ## IP of PMS - or localhost $port = 32400; ## port of PMS $notify_started = 1; # !deprecated -- does nothing anymore (use push_watched, push_watching in $notify) $notify_stopped = 1; # !deprecated -- does nothing anymore (use push_watched, push_watching in $notify) $appname = 'plexWatch'; Quote Link to comment
