avpap Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It might be a bit premature, but just wanted to ask anyway. Are you guys aware of the 1.4 beta enabling hardware acceleration? I am using the linuxserver.io plex docker and tried, by fiddling with the VERSION on the docker settings, to download the 1.4 beta. It seemed to update to 1.4, but hardware acceleration functionality didn't work (i have a celeron g1820 and i ticked the "hardware acceleration" box in the settings menu). Do you know what is the reason for this? Would we need specific drivers that are missing from the docker? It is a feature that the plex community has been asking for ages, so you can understand my enthusiasm Thank you! Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 You need the drivers in the host and the docker iirc. Definitely host anyways. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Shazam1203 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I got the problem sorted out yesteday, my vpn was acting up. I have another question though. I have plexpass and was trying to updated to 1.4 but I added the version in the docker settings but it wont update Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Then the version number is likely to be wrong. PM me the docker run command and I'll take a look. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

I have plexpass and was trying to updated to 1.4 but I added the version in the docker settings but it wont update If i remember correctly I tried this x.x.x.xxxx-xxxxxxx as VERSION in the docker settings and it worked fine *mod edit* no plexpass version numbers allowed Quote Link to comment

Shazam1203 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nevermind im an idiot haha. I can see version number is changed in plex. LOL Is there any way to tell if the hardware acceleration is working now. I was able to turn hardware acceleration on. Quote Link to comment

This is against Plex rules. Quote Link to comment
Shazam1203 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 ok I did but shouldnt the docker container automatically update to 1.4 as I have plexpass Quote Link to comment

Unless you have compiled a new kernel with GPU support for unraid, you can't use hardware acceleration in Plex. Quote Link to comment
Shazam1203 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ok that makes sense. I guess best option then would be plex in a vm with gpu passthrough? Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ok that makes sense. I guess best option then would be plex in a vm with gpu passthrough? That should work, yes. I believe 1.4 is a plexpass special beta release, so no you wont get a regular update for plexpass users. 1.3.3 is the latest plexpass release. Quote Link to comment

acherubino Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi, I'm having an issue with my Plex Docker where it's continually giving this error (The line number at the bottom changes): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/data/jenkins/pms-deps-universal-v2/BUILD_TAG/linux-ubuntu-x86_64/output/pms-depends-linux-ubuntu-x86_64-release-11a0c7d/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 77, in emit File "/data/jenkins/pms-deps-universal-v2/BUILD_TAG/linux-ubuntu-x86_64/output/pms-depends-linux-ubuntu-x86_64-release-11a0c7d/lib/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 136, in doRollover OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device Logged from file networking.py, line 166 It just repeats endlessly while the docker is running. The docker.img is not full and recreating and upping the size of it showed no change. The docker is running on the cache pool of which 105 of 250GB is used. This seems to also be affecting other dockers, namely Binhex's delugevpn (if I try to download something), but Plex is the only one that returns it continuously. I am able to watch some media on the server but some load for about 30 sec before skipping. This problem has occurred before when I have downloaded too much to the cache drive at once but using the mover to move the data to the array has solved it. The amount that had to be downloaded in order to trigger the error has been getting smaller and smaller until this point where it is constant without even downloading anything. Not sure what is causing it because according to the unRAID menu the drive isn't even half full. So an additional issue that I've now run into while writing this post is that the error that I'm seeing repeated in the log is from the built-in log viewer in unRAID's webui's docker menu, but when I go to the plex install directory I cannot find the log that reflects that. Here http://pastebin.com/PAZXNfn0 is as much as I could see from the built-in viewer and then I've attached the Plex Media Server.log file (Where there is still instances of the error, but not constant) below. Any and all help is appreciated, Thanks. Plex_Media_Server.log.txt Quote Link to comment

It just repeats endlessly while the docker is running. The docker.img is not full and recreating and upping the size of it showed no change. How large is your docker.img? If you have tried to fix this by making it larger you are probably doing something wrong. 20GB should be plenty. Quote Link to comment

SSD Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am considering moving from the Official LimeTech Plex docker to the LSIO version. Would it be a valid strategy to stop the LimeTech docker, install the LSIO version (providing equivalent mappings), and just start it up? I believe at this time both the public and plexpass versions (1.3.3.3148), and that would mean that I should be able to run one or the other dockers seamlessly. Once convinced that the LSIO version is running properly, I can delete the old Plex Docker. If that is not a good method, and there is another documented process, point me in the right direction. I did some searching and didn't find anything specific. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

You might make a copy of your plex appdata just in case, but if you point the LSIO docker to the existing plex appdata it should just work and it will use your existing plex library. I switched from needo plex like this quite a while ago. Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I installed the LSIO docker and it wanted to install Plex. I guess the docker doesn't have any version installed. I was expecting it to just come up, but now realize that this should have been expected. i put the old docker back in place for now. Quote Link to comment

Yes it will pull down the latest build, unpack and install it in the docker, then run some user-scripts. It will take a few minutes, give it some time. Quote Link to comment

You can update them yourself just be restarting them. Or you can use a specific version by telling it what version to use. Quote Link to comment
