You can reinstall using the template or the Previous Apps feature on the Apps page. But just restarting the container should do it. Plex will see the codecs don't exist and will get them.

SJOWG Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I"m sorry, I'm a complete noob, and I'm completely lost. Please excuse my ignorance, egregious though it may be. I'm trying to enable the Plex Media Server. I created a new Docker container, and walked through the (dated) video as best I can. I used the unRaid cheat sheet at https://ronnieroller.com/unraid#setup-notes_plex-media-server to set the container path. Plex runs, but it doesn't see my Media share. When I go to Add Library, and then Add Folder, I can get to /mnt, but it doesn't show any subfolders--I can't see /mnt/user, let alone any of the shares underneath that. I read the unRaid Docker Guide at https://lime-technology.com/wp/docker-guide/, and frankly can't understand a damn thing it's saying. If there's anything resembling a manual, or instructions, I'd greatly appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. I'd gladly RTFM if I could find the FM. Quote Link to comment

pe4nut1989 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 hey everyone i was cleaning up my plex library and was using the delete function in the plex program and i removed a bunch of shows it removed the video files fine but didnt delete the main show folders. just wondering if there is a program or tips i can use to remove them instead of having to check every folder manually to see if it has anything in it.

Here is the link he mentioned that is in his signature: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/57181-docker-faq/#comment-564345 That is also the very first link in the Docker FAQ. It might be worth your while to read other posts in that FAQ too. 1 Quote Link to comment

SavellM Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Is there a way I can move my Plex metadata to a spare SSD on unassigned devices? I have this drive running for transcoding but I cannot for the life of me see where in Plex to set the new location for metadata Quote Link to comment

If I had a clue what support thread that was, I would. When searching through the threads, I only found this one and the binhex one that said "Plex." Since I knew I wasn't using the binhex docker, I assumed this was the correct one. My apologies. Quote Link to comment

Depending on how you look at it, you're either in the wrong thread (Use the LimeTech support thread) or you've configured your machine incorrectly (You should be using our version) Quote Link to comment

Since LT has deprecated theirs you may want to consider switching. Quote Link to comment
