Deleting the content of the codecs folder as it says in the post you quoted.

After, do i just restart the docker or delete and reinstall using my docker image?

This seems to indicate some confusion about what the docker image is. 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.

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.

Post your docker run command, link to this is in my signature, you may need to enable signatures on your forum setting.

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.

Why did you quote the instructions on getting us the required information, but didn't actually bother to follow those instructions?

 

Here is the link he mentioned that is in his signature:

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.

This is my command:

You haven't configured a path for your media.Should look something like this-

 

 

You'll need to modify this to your system.

ok i have krusader. sorry if this a dumb question but how do i find out which of these folders only has a few kilobytes in them without clicking on each folder

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

More to the point, you're not even using the LinuxServer container  'limetech/plex'

THANK YOU! That's what I was missing. It's working now.

You really should post your questions in the support thread for which ever docker you are using.

I'm sure you're telling me something important, but I'm not getting it. Are you saying I'm in the wrong thread? Or that I've configured my system incorrectly? Something else?

Just now, wgstarks said:

I understand. 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.

This is the support thread for the LinuxServer version of Plex, the run command you posted is for the LimeTech version of Plex.

 

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)

Yes, wrong thread. This thread is for the LSIO Plex docker. Since LT has deprecated theirs you may want to consider switching.

Got it, thank you. My apologies.

As an aside I know our container has some advantages that the LT version doesn't if you end up using hardware transcoding

Thanks. I guess that's what I get for following that old YouTube video.

 

Is there an idiot's guide to converting?

Not that I'm aware of.  And you haven't really done much in the way of setup, probably as easy to nuke and pave.

Just so you know, clicking the docker icon should give you a link to the support thread as well as other links.
