That plugin actually installs a custom build of Unraid, and any time Unraid is updated you have to wait for the custom build to be updated then apply that update. Go read the first posts in that thread. You can go directly to the correct support thread for any of your plugins by clicking on its Support Link on the Plugins page. thanks, I did read the first part about installing it but it has 62 pages in that thread and I was not going to read all of that. I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. But from what you are saying is, I would update Unraid through the plugin but need to wait till that is updated and the docker would just update as usual correct?

Via the device name or IP What connection are you using when connecting to your VPN? Cellular or wlan/lan By it do you mean VPN or PLEX? VPN is via a hostname that had a dynamic DNS entry. As for PLEX I am no longer sure.... I set it up years ago when there was a server config option and now you just sign in I don't know any more. How do you tell (and it is connecting to the server as I can see all the media) I am connecting to VPN over a strong 4G / LTE cellular connection. Quote Link to comment

How do you tell (and it is connecting to the server as I can see all the media) I am connecting to VPN over a strong 4G / LTE cellular connection. I meant, how are you connecting to Plex? If you're connecting via the webgui, you'd be using either the "local-ip:32400/web" or "dynamic-dns-address:32400/web". Where I was going with the type of connection.... if the IP of your plex server is 192.168.0.100 and the gateway of you 4G connection (if there's a router) is 192.168.0.1/24 (255.255.255.0), you won't be able to connect to the plex server as it'll be trying to find that IP locally. Hope this kind of makes sense.... Just a thought. It's a common mistake with VPN's. Am I on the right train? Quote Link to comment

Having just tried and videos play in Chrome on my phone however the interface is pretty poor on a small screen. Given the app works when connected to WiFi and the VPN is obviously getting me to the server any thoughts on what I can try to get video playback working in the app via the VPN? Quote Link to comment
rsutter Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I am doing my best to get my PLEX docker to connect to my NAS. I have set up the volume mapping I believe correctly but obviously not. When I try to launch the WEBui of Plex docker I receive cant connect - refused.... Any thread of HELP you can direct me to get this connected correctly Quote Link to comment

cypres0099 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I just recently switched from Binhex to Linuxserver distro of Plex. I'm noticing that every few days Plex builds up to using 99% of RAM, approximately 60gb. I restart Plex and it goes back down to 1% or something. What could be causing this? Quote Link to comment

The usual reason for a docker to fill RAM is if it has a mapping that doesn't correspond to actual storage. But I don't see anything like that in your mappings in that screenshot. That screenshot isn't showing them all though. The docker run command would give the full picture. Plex doesn't normally write to anything but its appdata and its transcode path. And your screenshot does have the appdata mapping hidden. What is the appdata mapping? Where do you have the transcode folder set in the application? Quote Link to comment

Read the Readme in github for how to set a specific version. You need to find the version string on the plex pass part of the plex forum. Quote Link to comment

May not matter as far as RAM usage goes. All of his mappings are to actual storage. The default transcode path for plex winds up in appdata, and if he has it set to something else that isn't mapped, it would wind up in docker image.

Can you provide some evidence that it is indeed using that much RAM? Just to make sure there isn't some misunderstanding. Maybe you are just seeing I/O buffer. Quote Link to comment

Just to make sure there isn't some misunderstanding. Maybe you are just seeing I/O buffer. I'm not sure what to provide here. What kind of evidence do we need? I can stream multiple streams at once with the RAM usage hardly being affected. But the RAM will be 99% used when there are no active streams. A simple restart of the docker takes the RAM back to normal. Quote Link to comment
