I see my error. I didn't realize we already HAD access to the Application Support folder. Perfect! I added a Profiles folder in appdata/Plex Media Server/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ and can put different profiles in there! Thanks for the quick turnaround
June 5, 20188 yr Hi All, Been having an issue plaguing me for a few weeks now that I can't seem to solve, hoping someone on here can share some guidance, I have attached PMS logs for viewing Lately media playback has been stopping at random times during a movie, and not a particular one at that, the playback will just stop, this happens on cabled NUC devices running KODI +Plex Addon, Cabled android TV devices Running Plex App and Wireless Android Tablets running Plex App. I'm not sure if its my Docker setup as I'm not advanced in setting them up but it seems to be up and running, just getting stuck at this one issue. I don't believe there is any transcoding going on, the devices are capable of directly playing the files Running on unraid version 6.5.2 Thanks for any assistance Regards, Logs.zip

June 5, 20188 yr is there a way to rebuild your library without losing watched status? I have started getting media that does not properly get the metadata and crashes when selected (I have removed, scanned, emptied trash, cleaned bundles, then copied files back all with the same results).I have a feeling a library rebuild (fresh media scan and fresh metadata) will fix it, but I do not want to lose the watched history for all my families profiles.Is tract.tv the only option if db repair does not work?I am on the fence about tract.tv due to their privacy policies... Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if there is a way to move it back to the cache disk with the mover as I guess you have other appdata in the share?

You do have the plex config on the cache drive? What do you mean by pms crashing? Container not starting? Logs are always nice to have.

Container not starting? Logs are always nice to have. Apologies, Still learning as I go I have attached a picture of the "appdata" share config. When changing from "mnt/user/appdata/plex" to "mnt/cache/appdata/plex," it causes plex to crash, I have uploaded the logs from that also PMS Docker Log.txt
June 6, 20188 yr 4 hours ago, Cexitime said: When changing from "mnt/user/appdata/plex" to "mnt/cache/appdata/plex," it causes plex to crash Is all of appdata actually on cache, or only some of it? Since the appdata share is "prefer" it might be in some in between state and so plex sees just enough of its appdata to think it doesn't need to recreate it, but not enough to actually run. Go the the unRAID webUI Shares page, click Compute on the appdata share and post a screenshot of the result.

June 6, 20188 yr 44 minutes ago, brbones said: is this normal or is this something that should be resolved? You can disable the avahi service on unRAID. See the file share.cfg in the /config folder on your flash device. Set the below and stop/start the array: shareAvahiEnabled="no" If you are running a mainly Windows environment then avahi is not really needed.

June 8, 20188 yr Yes. I’m guessing you added it to your post after the fact and I just looked at the email. My bad.
June 9, 20188 yr I've installed the Plex docker a few months ago and everything is working very well. Big thanks! So far, I have only used it to play direct, but never used the transcoding function. I now tried it, but - much top my surprise - it is not working. I am getting the following error message on IOS and TVOS Plex apps: "Playback was terminated by the server. Conversino failed. The transcoder exited due to an error". Container and host paths are both set to "/transcode", which I believe how it was by default. Could this be the issue? I am sure I am missing something very obvious here... Let me know if any debug log is helpful and happy to provide. Thanks in advance for your help!
