I did try moving to its own folder so /mnt/user/appdata/plex/my-custom-files/custom-install.sh too but that didnt make any difference

 

I made a mistake, I created a folder called "custom" inside my plex appdata folder, then for the script pathing just map to the "custom" folder and leave out the script. That's my bad. Also looks like I used an underscore instead of a dash in the script name.

 

 

Edit: See updated instructions:

So that still didnt work but noticed the following in plex log.

 

[custom-init] Files found, executing
[custom-init] custom_install.sh: executing...
/custom-cont-init.d/custom_install.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

That's strange, no idea why it works for me? Maybe try copying it from this URL where I got it from originally?

Here's the Plex forum post with the links to the .deb files too:

Yeh I did that and saved using notepad just incase notepad++ was doing something weird. No big deal not in a rush.

When I run it again same as before.

@bally12345 what happens if you console into the plex container? Can you see the "custom-cont-init.d" folder and script inside?

 

what happens if you try and execute it while you're inside the container?

There is no need to utilise the NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES parameter any more.  This is handled by our container.

 

PSA: For the new HEVC Encoding Forum Preview, it appears you need to add back in

NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all

for things to work properly. The new preview looks like it needs to find a supported card before it shows you the new options and Plex does not log that it is recognized without using all (dockerfile include "compute,video,utility" as the default for this variable)

 

I also wonder if this has ever always been the case, as my GPU name was not showing up in the drop down list for GPU selection until I added this in, despite hardware transcoding working perfectly!

What if you are using alderlake igpu

Then all you need is to do is just add this to the "extra parameters" section

--device=/dev/dri

 

 

The Nvidia stuff is ONLY if you're using an Nvidia GPU card.

wanting to try the new HEVC Encoding but i think il wait for it to arrive nornally over an update! 

Hello,

I have the following problem: I have set up the Plex server and mounted remote shares via NFS from my Synology NAS. The two paths Movies and TV are also recognized, Plex finds the subfolders and can read the files. Now I wanted to make my photos available to Plex, so I mounted the /Photos Path and the Homes Path of my Synology. But Plex doesn't see any folders or photos there.

 

Does anyone have an idea what the reason is?

 

Thank you all

Did you edit the Plex container to add these shares as extra paths?

I have only used the “Add Path” function at the bottom.

That's it, may some screens from your docker setting path and how you want to add them into Plex path

The TV and Movies folder is recognized correctly. The other two are not.

Are you saying that when you are in Plex setting up the photos library, when you go to add a folder, /photosp and /photospri are not listed as root folders to select?

Yes, the folders themselves are there. However, no subfolders are visible and no images can be found.

So if you click on the browse icon where you set the mount up, are the files/folders there?

Yes:

FYI, there is a newer test version available: https://forums.plex.tv/t/hevc-encoding-forum-preview/888127

 

Version: 1.41.1.9043-2ace0d939

Hey all, I have just updated the download links to a build with the following changes:

 

- 10 Bit data is no longer truncated on mac

 

- 10 Bit Data is no longer truncated on Shield

Note: The shield does not support 10 bit encoding so tone mapping is still required for HDR files

 

- Tone mapping is applied when the client does not support HDR playback

Note: there is a bug in the android client where it does not properly inform PMS of a lack of HDR support. This has been addressed but users will need to wait for it to roll out in a future version

 

- Apollo Lake CPUs do not support 10 bit encoding (just decoding) so we removed support from those devices

 

- DVR recordings should now be a reasonable size

 

- Burning in bitmapped subtitles (such as PGS) should only be preformed when encoding to a 10 bit format

 

- Updates to the target resolution (for the same bitrate) when encoding to HEVC.

Note: this means the selector on the client will likely be lying to you.

I can also see the folders via the Plex Docker Console. But not in Plex itself. I think wrong rights in Docker itself?

I'm out of ideas I'm afraid.  If Plex can see those shares but not the folders inside them then something's wrong - hopefully one of the other people on here can assist.

Many thanks for trying
I have just changed the permissions. Subfolders are now recognized in plex but not the images. But the permission change is still running.

 

Edit: Plex Server Log:

 

Couldn't check for the existence of file "/photosp/.grab": boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied [system:13]: "/photosp/.grab"

 

Edited September 26, 20241 yr by Tobiasp

I just changed the access mode and can access the second folder Photospr, Plex also finds the pictures. In photosp the subfolders are cleared.

There is an easier way to do this, simply change or these to you container configuration:

@bally12345 You don't use the full URL for this method.
