For a beta version, set the version variable and restart Good point. I forgot I had set Plex to the public update channel and not the beta channel. Quote Link to comment
csmstyle Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can someone point me in the right direction on installing the Docker? I keep getting an out of space error during installation. I have plenty of space from what I can see. Quote Link to comment

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and post the complete zip. Also might be helpful to post your docker run as seen here: And while your there you might check out the rest of the Docker FAQ.

Ockingshay Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 am i doing something wrong? i get this when i try these commands to enable HW decoding.

Hoopster Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) @Ockingshay Do you have the appropriate entry in Extra Parameters in the Plex Server docker config? Edited December 5, 2017 by Hoopster Quote Link to comment
Ockingshay Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) If i try the extra parameter i get when it tries to start: Quote root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="Plex" --net="host" -e TZ="Europe/London" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -e "VERSION"="plexpass" -v "/mnt/user/":"/media":rw -v "/mnt/cache/dockerapps/Plex/":"/config":rw -v "/mnt/user/Cache_Backup/Plex/":"/backups":rw --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri linuxserver/plex /usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: linux runtime spec devices: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/dri": no such file or directory. Maybe my CPU is too old? EDIT: It actually looks to be a problem with my motherboard and it's onboard VGA. The problem i have is if i disable it, i lose IPMI, which as this server is locked under a stairs i need it for access. I can live without HW decoding, unless someone else has been successful at getting this to work with a supermicro mobo and xeon igpu. unRAID only gives me the matrox gpu onboard VGA if i try to set up a VM Edited December 5, 2017 by Ockingshay Quote Link to comment
Endy Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I was playing with Plex as a dvr and I noticed that I am not able to delete the files it creates using File Explorer on a Windows pc (user share set to secure). It appears to be a permissions issue. PUID is 99 and PGID is 100 and this is the same as the Deluge docker, but I have no problems deleting files created by Deluge. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

Doesn't look like the motherboard supports using the integrated graphics in the cpu. It uses its own Matrox graphics. It's also mentioned that your CPU isn't recommended to use. So you can't make use of hardware transcode games. Quote Link to comment
SavellM Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Since enabling HW decoding I keep getting this in my Plex Logs: libva info: VA-API version 1.0.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_0 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 Over and over again, every few mins.

naturalcarr Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hello, I want to rollback to a previous version of PMS, is there a version list somewhere? The one on the docke hub shows the updates to the docker hub (ie. 95, 96, 97, etc) but I want to find a list of docker versions (like 1.2.7.2987-1bef33a). Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 There may be on the Plex forums somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Quote Link to comment

Go to the appdata share and look in Plex\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Crash Reports You will find folders for your previous versions named as the release version. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

That is super useful, thanks, Leifgg. In the mean time, I'm going to write a script to store plex's version in a log or something, in case I go an entire update cycle with no crashes.

alturismo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) hi, as my server needs alot of cpu while transcoding i tested one of my shields as 2nd server just for external live tv transcoding ... but thats not really a solution cause it really often just stalls ... so i would like to know if its possible to use a cheap GT1030 nvidia card todo the job ? and what all needs to be done ... my internal intel gpu is used by a vm ... or may easier to use the 1030 for the VM and the internal for transcoding ..and so on ... i ve readed the intel quick sync aint so good for quality, many artefacts ... but didnt really saw any nvidia users therefore ...

primeval_god Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 On 10/25/2017 at 6:26 PM, aptalca said: For intel, follow the instructions in this thread about fixing permissions, then you enable the setting in plex gui. On unraid, you can't use non intel gpus for hw transcoding in docker because the necessary drivers for them are not loaded. You can, however, pass them through to a VM and do hw transcoding in plex in a VM. You can load the drivers that way. As mentioned earlier in this thread... Quote Link to comment
squirrellydw Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Should I have anything under "Transcoder temporary directory"? The reason I ask is I have a few MKV files won't play through Plex web or on my friends device remotely? The file plays fine on my AppleTV and through VLC on my computer but it won't play on his AppleTV or through Plex web. I have plenty of free space on the drive. The issue seems to be the files are all on disk 7. Disk 7 is fine, I ran a smart report. Edited December 15, 2017 by squirrellydw Quote Link to comment

I am using hardware transcoding on my Intel Xeon with integrated GPU and Quick Sync support. The quality is good and I do not see a lot of artifacts. Those mentioning artifiact issues are transcoding from 1080p down to 480p or to a much lower bitrate than the original. If you are are transcoding 1080p to 720p or 1080 to 1080 for example with a target bitrate of 4Mbps or higher, you really should not see a lot or artifacts. I have done many very acceptable 3 Mbps transcodes as well. Quote Link to comment
