Try deleting the version variable, start the container and then add the version variable again. Look if the variable is in the run command after that.

just gave that a try but no luck, it still doesn't show in the run command  :(

I don't think it will work if the beta is a higher version number. Try setting it to a specific past version, restart, then set it to "latest". That should get it back in line.

I've just had a look and the version I'm on now isn't the DVR Beta, and the VERSION number I'm on (1.1.4.2757) is lower than the DVR Beta version number.

 

Is there a way to edit the file that is called for the docker run command directly? Just thinking if so maybe I can just add the version variable to that, instead of trying to do it via the GUI

I don't think you are adding the variable correctly. Post a screenshot of the edit screen for the variable.

How are you trying to update? Are you clicking the update docker button? That replaces the container with the docker from the repository... which is a specific version not necessarily the latest. To update the Plex version, in the docker list click the Plex icon left comun and select Restart. That will restart the container which checks for a new Plex version at Plex. You can monitor the process by clicking the Log in right column while it restarts.

Also check there isn't a leading blank space in your version setting of "latest".

just double checked that, and definitely not doing that

Here are some screenshots illustrating the steps I'm taking to remove and re-add the version variable, along with the docker run commands after each change.

The problem is that you've given that variable a name (ie: a human readable thing), but have not given it the KEY (which is VERSION)

You're a star, thanks Squid! All working perfectly now! :)  Apologies for doing something so dippy.

 

Maybe it would be handy to make the KEY field required, so others can't make the same mistake - worth posting this elsewhere?

Docker setup and logs look fine, tried looking in your appdata folder and checking out the Plex logs?

I am having this same issue with Plex.  Every time I start it up for the first time I get stuck at "[cont-init.d] 10-adduser: executing..."  If I stop the docker and restart it, it will load up.  but next time I reboot the server I have the same problem

I'm having a mare with Remote Access which I think is due to my ISP starting their IPV6 rollout (BT in the UK with the new Smart Hub) - researching last night it seems Plex doesn't fully support IPV6 yet. 

 

 

Anybody else encountered and hopefully solved this problem?  it seems like I'm in a double NAT situation as I have both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses.

Hello,

 

I am trying to switch from Limetech Plex docker over to the Linuxserver docker and I have a couple of questions:

[*]When I remove the Limetech docker, do I need to remove the image too?

[*]When I add the Linuxserver docker, do I need to rebuild the library?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hey all, having some issues with my new plex media server. 

 

So, installed everything, got media added and shared.  Everything works great, but the server shuts itself down every 4-8 hours.  It says a direct connection is unavailable from anything external.  The docker still says its running in the unraid GUI, but it hangs when I try to access the Plex media server Web UI.

 

Any ideas?  Where should I pull logs from?

I am having an issue with the plexpass update channel, plex seems to freeze after a few hours and gives me the following error in the logs. https://i.imgur.com/Xwy8ELj.jpg

1. Yes

2. No, you shouldn't have to

No idea how you've got Plex configured either docker or the app itself, sorry not given us anywhere near enough information to try and work this one out.  May well be a Plex (config) issue rather a docker issue.  Have a look at the docker FAQ to get an idea of what we need as a MINIMUM....  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg481150#msg481150

 

Also try looking in the Plex logs as I've pointed to above.
