How did you set up your libraries?

I used to have that issue where I had to run mover manually since I set up the directory to the disk share.

If you set the directory as a user mount share, it should work.

 

 

Everything in user share. My plex worked fine before I upgraded to Unraid ver 6.7.2. My plex library is in a share using disk cache, so maybe I'll try moving them back to aray. Thank you man!

I updated the docker again via the usual update link and it failed and removed the docker image.  Had to go back to CA Previous Apps to re-install the previous app to install properly.  Anyone else having this issue?

 

Not really an issue with the container.

You have something in your template that fails. This can be a dvb device or nvidia card and for some reason they are not available.

Your db was likely already corrupted before the switch. Google how to restore Plex db

But that would allow things to still run while the app data is in /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer/ but then get caught in a crash loop when I only change the directory in the docker template to /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer/ ? 

 

Here is what the specific entry in the docker log looks like when I do that

 

****** PLEX MEDIA SERVER CRASHED, CRASH REPORT WRITTEN: /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Crash Reports/1.16.2.1297-4b7ace214/PLEX MEDIA SERVER/55e3a89d-90b5-b4b2-3afbf75b-4e9ba94f.dmp
Starting Plex Media Server.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'


And then when I change the directory back to /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer/ everything returns to normal, and then randomly the DB will start giving that SQLite error.

Every time I restart the plex container, or do a force update I get the following errors in my unraid logs, Any idea what could cause this?

On a few occasions I lose all network access to my server & have to do a hard restart

You should post your diagnostics in a new thread it doesnt look like it has anything to do with plex

could be i suppose, although its only the plex container that causes the issue when updated / restarted!! all my other dockers dont cause these issues!

Does anyone know how to roll back to previous build of Plex? I have some problems with the ver 1.16.2.1297.

You can pull an earlier tag from docker hub but badge sure the version variable is set to docker so it doesn't update on start

I went to docker hub to get the previous ver of plex. However, it didn't work. It seems like the app can not found a repository to pull data.

 You didn't follow the instructions.

You set the tag in the repository field after linuxserver/plex with an : between the existing text and the tag.

The version variable should be set as docker.

I have no idea how it can be done. Can you give me a briefly guide? Thank.

at the end of the docker name you just have to :tag [plex/arm86] .... something along those lines 

Edit the container and change the :latest tag to the new tag you want, you get the tags from the dockerhub page https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/plex/

Hey guys,


So I am at a loss.  I can log into my plex docker through plex.tv but when I try to launch the webgui I get an error:

This page isn’t working "my host ip address"

didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE


Any ideas?!

 

Update: 

Now it works on the plex.tv but not internally from localhost.  Any ideas?!

I can not add new stuff or edit item in my plex server. Please help!

I believe I would like to migrate from the Limetech Plex Docker to Linuxserver's Docker.  This really has to do with the speed at which updates for Plex are released and while I appreciate the conservative view in not running to fast into new updates, I am about to lose my DVR service over an update and can't seem to get a response on when the update will be added to the respository.  So with all respect to them, I have a friend who uses Linuxserver and has not had any issues.

 

The question I have for this group is how do i install a new Plex docker and point it to my old Plex database?  I'd rather not have to re-scan and make manual adjustments to my libraries.   Is this even possible?

First, make a backup of your Plex data just in case (you can use the backup and restore plug-in)

 

The image/container structure should be compatible. Stop the other container, then just create a new container with the linuxserver image and point the config folder to the same folder the other container was pointing to. That's really it.

Just wanted to double check, the version in the settings for this should be set to "docker" right to get the latest?

From the docs linked in the first post here are the VERSION options:

 

docker: Let Docker handle the Plex Version, we keep our Dockerhub Endpoint up to date with the latest public builds. This is the same as leaving this setting out of your create command.

 

latest: will update plex to the latest version available that you are entitled to.

 

public: will update plexpass users to the latest public version, useful for plexpass users that don't want to be on the bleeding edge but still want the latest public updates.

 

specific-version: will select a specific version (eg 0.9.12.4.1192-9a47d21) of plex to install, note you cannot use this to access plexpass versions if you do not have plexpass.
