February 13, 20242 yr Is anyone else having an issue with live TV, as of this morning Plex stopped working with my HDHomerun Quatro, and will just spin before giving me a message about not being able to load the stream. I have verified its not the tunner as i can watch content off of it directly when bypassing plex.

I have verified its not the tunner as i can watch content off of it directly when bypassing plex. Working from here with the same tuner (in the browser). Live TV isn't the most polished parts of Plex though, and I've had this before. Can't recall whether I restarted, rescanned for channels in the DVR section, deleted the codecs, refreshed the browser or just waited (sorry).

February 13, 20242 yr Transcoding suddenly stopped working. I can only watch things through plex if I can direct play. I'm getting the below errors about "EAE Timeout".

February 13, 20242 yr Help! Updated Plex, it Orphaned the Image. Trying to add the container back and this is happening. Seems something is broken with the latest? EDIT: Well, it appears the issue is related to unraid Version 6.12.7-rc2 I downgraded, now the plex container works.. Looks like the latest Plex update doesnt play nicely with it.

February 13, 20242 yr I've been using Plex DVR with a HDhomerun for years. I can select what show to record. After it records it showed up in my TV Shows. Now something is different. It says "Can not move move recorded media to destination." And the file shows up in a .grab folder in /mnt/user/Media/TV/.grab Why this change? Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a fix?

What you see in the screenshot is not how the actual mounts are setup. Plex works fine prior to updating the OS so the issue is something with the Plex container and unRAID 6.12.7-rc2. On 6.12.6 the Plex container is using the latest update and this issue doesn’t happen. Not sure where the bug is but it seems to think the mounts are using : but if you look at them they are how they are supposed to be. Edited February 14, 20242 yr by Dro
February 14, 20242 yr Hi all I need some help as I'm banging my head against the wall. Plex has been fine for a very long time. Recently ive noticed remote clients are transcoding. I ask the users to go direct (even though they had been before) and they say plex warned them it was indirect, and max quality option is 720. In my server settings it shows remote access is not available. I've checked and my router has port 32400 forwarded, and I have that port set manually in plex. The container is also set to host. I have tried some steps that people took on pages ~215 like signing out all clients, reseting password, reclaim server (tried via docker variable, by the button in the web ui and by the curl console command) and rebooting docker etc but still no joy. The remote access screen still shows as not available, and when you press retry on the manual port it will go green for about 10s saying it is accessible and then change to not accessible. I've tried changing ports too and forwarding them on my UDM-SE. I am at my wits end. Some clients cant even connected anymore, and others are forced to transcode via relay. So I am hoping someone has some advice for me. Im on the latest linuxserver image `lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest` Thanks

No they are remote, some in different countries, some in same town Locally I am able to direct play, except sometimes playing something will result in a "connection is not fast enough" error and some buffering but thats not happened in a few weeks.
February 14, 20242 yr Just now, Marc Bush said: they are remote, some in different countries Could be something outside your control is making their connection to your server too slow for direct.
February 14, 20242 yr It's every remote client though 😕 around 10. Even my own devices when not on my LAN. The remote access just keeps changing from accessible to not accessible. Please see screenshots
February 14, 20242 yr Bumping this up again. Hoping for a solution. I get an error for each DVR recording. "Could not move recorded media to destination." The file is being saved as a .ts file in a .grab file in the TV directory. The only example I can find is this reddit post where they say you have to manually change the name of the file and move it to another directory. Why isn't it saving properly? I'm getting a Permission error in the log: Error creating directory "/tv/UEFA Champions League Soccer (2003)/Season 2024": Permission denied How to I give Plex permission for the TV directory? And doesn't it already have permission since it can create the .grab data? I have it set to save to TV Shows library: Here is the file it's creating. This file is automatically deleted within a few hours. I'm at a loss. Do I need to do something with permissions? I've used the DVR successfully for years. Something changed. Are these permissions incorrect? Edited February 14, 20242 yr by adminmat

Are these permissions incorrect? Try using the unraid tool of new permissions in the media directory. It will reset things to nobody. The folders with root users most likely can’t be written to by Plex. At least I think that’s how it works.
February 14, 20242 yr I'm weary about using the New Permissions tool. I'm concerned I'm going to mess things up. And I can go within the Plex container console and create directories and files in the TV folder. So I dont understand why Plex cant do it.
February 15, 20242 yr I sorted this out by changing the folder permission from root root to nobody users
February 15, 20242 yr 10 hours ago, Marc Bush said: and they say plex warned them it was indirect, and max quality option is 720. all your description sounds like your Plex is currently running through the Plex relay (also the 720/2mbps). i would rather say your port 32400 is not reachable by WAN ... you could try to reach your Server by your WAN IP:32400 or your DNS Name like plex.yourdomain:32400 ... you should see the Plex landing page there at least, if not ... it will run through the relay and limited as described.
February 15, 20242 yr Yes that is correct. Although port is open, and the container is host, plex is not reachable at IP:32400

Not sure where the bug is but it seems to think the mounts are using : but if you look at them they are how they are supposed to be. Just got the same issue in 6.12.8. Even though the transcode mount is optional, it seems with the latest version of docker included with the new unraid tries to put a : in for a blank variable in the template. If you delete the optional variables like /transcode in the template, it will start correctly.
