April 23, 20206 yr Good morning all! I recently moved my Plex from a Windows VM to the linuxserver/plex container on a new Unraid server (nVidia 6.8.3 Build) with a 3900x and an nVidia GTX 1660 Super. I have a PlexPass. When I queue up a list of movies to sync to my iPad, many of them transcode/sync successfully while others seem to end up in an endless loop where they repeatedly go through the transcoding process but never sync down to the iPad. On the PMS Conversions tab, they go from Waiting -> Converting -> Disappear from Queue until I hit sync again on the iPad. On the iPad Downloads & Sync screen, they go Converting -> Pending and stay Pending until I hit Sync again. Looking at one of the offending files, it doesn't seem to have any characteristic different from the ones that work (i.e., h264, aac, metadata & cover added with MetaX). I'm hoping someone has seen this before or can help identify the issue. File info for one of the offending file, Docker command, container log and PMS log, below. Note that /movies, /tv, and /music remain unmapped as I've configured all my libraries off a single /Media mount that is mapped to /mnt/user/Media/. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! I've spent more than a couple full days scouring forums and trying to troubleshoot this on my own.

Although the codec of the offending files were the same (i.e., h264/aac) as ones that synced successfully, the files that fail seem to have in common that the audio bitrate is > 320Kbps. If I manually re-encode them with ffmpeg (ffmpeg.exe -i "%%~dA%%~pA%%~nA%%~xA" -map 0 -c copy -c:a aac -b:a 320K "%%~dA%%~pA%%~nA-320KAAC%%~xA"), the files that previously failed will now transcode AND sync (or at least the 3 that I tested will). I assume this is a Plex-related bug since transcoding the file should result in a file compatible with the device that requested the sync. Just another reason for my love/hate relationship with Plex!

May 3, 20206 yr Hi everyone, I had a corruption of my cache filesystem (BTRFS) yesterday morning, I managed to backup everything in a folder with BTRFS restore command line. Then I formatted my cache drive as XFS (it's apparently more reliable than BTRFS) then I put back backed-up data onto the cache drive. It seems everything is back to normal operation but my plex docker doesn't work properly anymore even though the docker starts fine. The web UI doesn't work, I have a connection refused (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). The log window says "Starting Plex Media Server." over and over again. From logs in the appdata, it seems I have a problem with the SQLite database. I attached a zip file with the appdata plex media server logs. Is the database repairable? Does anybody knows how I can fix this database? Thank you Archive.zip

In the same directory as the main db but appended with the date, like "com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-2020-05-02". Have you tried to go back to one of those using these instructions? Hopefully the backups aren't corrupt as well.

May 4, 20206 yr Not sure if others are having this issue, I tried searching but came up empty... I'm running unraid 6.8.3 with the NVIDIA driver pack and this PLEX docker with my K4000 in pass-through for PLEX. It works wonderfully and I have almost no complaints at all, my only issue is that when I'm done watching a movie that required my GPU to encode the video, the GPU stays running in the background and I cannot stop it unless I restart the container. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a simple fix/tweak? Thank you, J Edited May 4, 20206 yr by jbohbot
May 5, 20206 yr 9 hours ago, saarg said: Yes. Plex will download it again when you restart the container. Unfortunately that did not help. I removed the container, reinstalled 6.8.3, reinstalled the container and configured fresh (my setting did not carry over - but I had them exported) and the problem still persists. HOWEVER I have the same model TV upstairs and it does not have this issue. Further, no other clients accessing the server have playback issues. It seems like it isolated to this particular client. I reinstalled the plex webOS app... but still no joy. Really odd.
May 5, 20206 yr may really take a look at client, when u playback on this tv, does it still direct play or does plex transcode ? as soon transcode is involved hdr will be ... try some settings on your tv plex client, like allow/force direct play etc etc ...

I tried. Something is borked on the client side for sure. XPlay plays the same content on client in HDR (though playback is choppy - something is definitely going on with how stream is rendered on this TV)
