Assuming you installed the Docker and re-established your libraries. Virtually everything in Plex is run from a database which assigns ID numbers to each item. These IDs will be totally different between your old database and your new database. Even the library ID will likely be different. It would be much easier to find your playlist settings and just re-establish them in the Docker. Quote Link to comment

Have a look at this help article: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201370363-Move-an-Install-to-Another-System I’ve used this method successfully to move my library around in the past. The first step to disable the emptying of trash is important, but sounds like this may already be too late unless you’ve got a backup of the appdata from your Win10 system. Quote Link to comment
s_mason16 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey guys, I'm using this docker with a fresh unraid start, and I had tested the plex by adding small amount of my media then over night I dumped the rest and now the library is broken. it times out while trying to load all the movies and metadata and then goes blank and errors out. i tried to analyze and optimize it with no luck, but then i just created a new movie library and it worked. now it wont let me delete the original library. so I have two movie libraries. any idea on how to remove the first one? also on a lesser annoyance. I have a 10gb mellanox card dropped in and connected to my main pc. the plex remote ip wants to use the mellanox ip and not the standard ethernet that is connected to my network. any way to tell it to use the regular connection?

HocEman Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Out of the blue my plex docker container will not start. It gives this error in the log: importas: fatal: unable to exec /etc/s6/init/init-stage1: No such file or directory I have tried removing and re-adding the container, re-adding the container and pointing to a different config folder, deleting the container and the docker.img file. I still get this error. Any thoughts or other things to try? I am able to successfully install and run the plex media server docker container from the official plex repository (installed from community applications). So I think the issue is with the Linuxserver.io docker. I appreciate any help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

HocEman Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 OK, so I figured it out. @jack0w you actually did point me in the right direction. When I deleted my docker.img and reloaded the containers I used MY templates. I deleted my docker.img again, and this time installed the plex container from Community Applications and it worked. I use the LazyMan channel in Plex and it recently stopped working. It requires some edits to the hosts file to work. I was trying to edit the hosts file IN the docker so I tried to map the /etc container path to a host path in my template, and that caused the problem. I actually learned a lot from this mistake: 1. Unraid creates the /etc/hosts file every time the server is restarted so you will lose any edits (which was my problem in the first place, I rebooted my server and lost the edits I made months ago) 2. Docker containers (or at least this one) use the /etc/hosts file FROM the Unraid server - pulling it in when the docker is started. So any change made to the file on the server will not be seen by the docker container until after the container is restarted 3. There is an awesome plugin called "User Scripts" that allows you to create your own scripts (stored on the Unraid Flash drive) and run them through the GUI or on a schedule So this container is functioning properly again, and I also have the LazyMan channel working again by creating a simple script that adds the edits required to the Unraid hosts file using the "User Scripts" plugin.

The plex version on linux.io is newer then the one in the "official docker" so the issue could still lie within plex though. There are plex threads on the issue and several point to start using the offical plex docker instead of a third party one.. Edited November 19, 2017 by Helmonder Quote Link to comment

mathgoy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi all, I just migrated from an ubuntu server to unraid and am pretty happy so far. I installed the linuxserver.io-docker container, setup my complete library pretty smoothly and started streaming some media over my network. The streaming works great, and my sever (Xeon e-2650 + 32GB ECC ram + 250GB cache drive + 16TB array) can handle 7 to 8 streams in parallel. However, I noticed that converting some medias (not transcoding on the fly) was pretty slow. It will convert at 4.8x and will never use more than 40% of my CPU. So my question is, how can I get the best out of my CPU so I can transcode faster than that? Thanks for your reply, cheers. Quote Link to comment

Just a guess, but if you are writing to parity that may be the problem. You could try writing to an Unassigned Devices Mount located outside the array and see if you’re speeds increase.

mathgoy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Actually, you might be right. I am running several tasks in parallel and one of them is a parity check. I will make a new converting test once it's done and will let you know. Anyway, thanks a lot for the quick reply wgstarks Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think the conversion is single threaded. So it will only use one core. Quote Link to comment
mathgoy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 HI again, So I ran a test again once the parity check was over and the results are the same. Running conversion at 5x speed maximum, all my cores are used but only at 30 to 50% Any idea? THanks Quote Link to comment
