[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server


Recommended Posts

I'm having a small permissions problem that I'm not sure how to fix, hoping this is the right place to post for help.

 

Whenever I copy a file .bundle or video file to my shares Plex is unable to see it. I'm connecting over SMB with my file copy (furby) user account. With Mac OS (10.11) and Finder. (gt is my local account).

 

Do I need to set the permissions each time I copy a file over? And if so what should it be?

 

Via Terminal, mounted as a share on Mac OS I get:

I don't know enough to figure out why the last file is like that. I copied some other over and the same result :(

Hi guys - on 2/29, plex released version 0.9.16.0.1754-23623fb.  It seems that the auto upgrade capabilities of this docker rely on grabbing info from tools.linuxserver.io/latest-plex.json  which still states:

 

    "last_checked": 1456925857,

    "version": "0.9.15.6.1714-7be11e1",

 

 

I'm curious what level of automation exists (if any?) to make sure that linuxserver.io's version of "latest" that it keeps local to linuxserver.io gets regularly updated, and at what frequency?

 

Thanks,

-Jim

I have installed this docker and did the initial library scan and all was fine. Set plex to automatically add new items to library. It's not doing that though. Also it's not adding anything new if I manually update the library.

 

My docker folders that I added to plex are

 

/movies        =        /mnt/user/movies

/series          =        /mnt/user/series

 

That's the only thing I added to the docker install. Configuration folder is default of /mnt/appdata/plex

 

Any ideas?

This definitely works for me. Are you sure the new stuff is in those locations and it is plex-compatible? Sounds like some issue you're having with plex itself rather than with this docker. Have you searched at the plex website?

*UPDATE*

 

Nevermind, it just took *forever* to become accessible. GUI is working, streaming is working. Everything is good and right in the world. :-)

 

Original post:

 

Updated my Docker today (first time I've done that since setting up the server about a week ago) and now it doesn't work. unRAID shows it as running, but GUI is not accessible and the log shows it's just sitting at "Starting Avahi daemon". Using linuxserver/plex.latest. :-(

I don't know...I kinda just restarted my Docker for PMS and now I'm getting this over and over:

I can't start the Plex Server or the GUI

 

UPDATE::::

Looks like it was stuck when setting VERSION variable to plexpass. When I changed it to latest it started to work.

Is there any difference? Or does it only matter if I have Plex Pass update options set in PMS?

I get exactly the same your the plexpass version.

 

It works using latest, but that uses the latest version for non plexpass users, so plex immediately tells me there is an update to download.

 

Is there an issue get access to download the plexpass version?

 

Using version: from Plexpass latest

I think maybe Plex had an issue with their servers that store the latest plexpass builds last night. I changed the variable in the docker to 'plexpass' and restarted....all is fine this morning.

I've been leaving my Plex docker running for hours (2-3+) on both plexpass and latest and I am still unable to access the Plex UI.

Strangely, the log is also empty.

 

This also happens if I try a clean install with an empty settings directory and after deleting the docker container and image :(

 

UPDATE::

 

After clearing out the container and image again and a few more restarts, I managed to get the "latest" non Plex Pass version up and running.

Link to comment

Updated to the latest UnRaid version 6.1.9.  Re-booted my server, I noticed Plex had been stopped.  So, instead of me re-starting it, I clicked on "forced update."  After I did that, Plex docker was no longer available.

 

I tried re-installing it, and nothing happens.  I went into my flash and delete everything Plex.  I tried to re-install again, and nothing.  So, I went into my phone's deleted pics, and I was able to find the Volume mappings.  Good thing I did because /config was mapped wrong lol.

 

However, I get this at the end

What does "unable to find image 'Shows:TV:latest' locally" mean?

Yeah, I can't install Plex.  I've double checked all my volume mappings, and this is what I get:

When I go to the docker section there is no Plex application at all.

Click the advanced slider in the Unraid Docker webui and I wouldn't be surprised if there is an orphan container there.  Delete that and try again would be my first thought.

 

I deleted the two orphan images.  I added Plex via Community Applications, and I only get another orphan image with

I did not find a Linuxserver general thread, so I post here istead. Still relevant.

 

I am not using any dockers from Linuxserver atm, but I am maybe switching to. I have heard that to update dockers, you have to restart it.

If I go to the docker tab on my unRAID server, and click "check for updates", will the new update show up there?

As a rule, no, although once a month we update the base image which will cause it to show up, but for app updates then a container restart, unraid array restart or docker service restart is required.

Thats what I thought initially, but then I could change to latest and update, then change back to plexpass and it would update and load Plex fine.

 

If I kept on plexpass it was as though it was trying to download an unknown version and just hung there.

 

I can get around it, but am not convinced it is Plex servers.

 

Edit: Update this morning of the container, allow plexpass to run fine so far :)
