[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server


Recommended Posts

Just noticed this too. Didn't have as solution on how to update to the latest public version...

 

Just tried deleting the "PUBLIC" variable from the docker settings, resorted the docker, and the Plex Server settings are still telling me to install manually...

 

Looks like the server file isn't posted as per my server logs..

 

Atempting to upgrade to:
https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/%20/plexmediaserver_%20_amd64.deb:
2017-02-02 08:41:07 ERROR 404: Not Found.

 

I'm getting the same message in my logs. Is this Plex or container related?

From my quick glance at the logs looks like the plex version number seems to be missing - instead it's been replaced with %20 in the file name.

 

Strange, I don’t see this behavior in my logs.

What unRAID version are you running?

 

Scrap that, just seen your signature and you're on the same version as me ?

What unRAID version are you running?

I am on 6.3.0-rc9

There appears to be an issue with plex downloads site related to the ubuntu downloads.

 

manually downloading any of the linux packages other than ubuntu and the links work, the two ubuntu (32 and 64 bit) links do not work.

 

the release is dated today, so it looks like a propagation issue to their mirrors for downloads

Is there a guide to setting up a Plex docker in unRaid with the Plex data and transcoding on separate SSDs outside the array?

No guide, but just point the volume mappings for the appdata and transcode folders to the appropriate folder (presumably you're using Unassigned Devices to mount the drive, so it'll be /mnt/disks/whatever - when doing this set the access mode to be Read/Write,Slave

Is it possible to use /tmp for transcoding? 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

I mount a ram disk (tmpfs) in my /boot/config/go file and point plex to the mount.  Seems to work well for me.

 

 

Is is possible to run the transcoding preview release on this docker?  (v#.#.#.####)

Just download the .deb and update the image manually?

This is covered in the readme linked in the first post of this thread.

 

My apologies - it is possible I'm a complete moron.  I explored the links on the first post, but I still don't see it...

The github link explains how to use the VERSION environment variable.

Hoping someone can help with an artwork issue that I am not able find a solution to with a search.

 

This is a new install with the trial key. About half of my TV Shows are not displaying their artwork like posters and backgrounds. The show descriptions show correctly though.

 

So half of the shows work and the Movies all work.

 

I have reinstalled the docker twice now with the same behavior and the same shows not getting their artwork. My windows VM that I am looking at moving to this unRAID docker is pulling all shows artwork fine.

 

Thanks

This really sounds like a question for plex instead of for this specific docker implementation of plex. Are you sure you have your plex settings the same in both places? I know you can tell plex where to look to try to match movies and tv shows.

I have just added this to my new unraid server and I too have no artwork or details for my media, as a site note, the container path variable for media is missing from the docker configuration, it has to be added manually.

 

The artwork is nothing to do with the container.  That's a Plex issue,  there's not a /media path as everyone sets it up differently.  For instance I use /music /tv and /movies

So I'm not sure if this is a Plex Docker issue, or if Plex is just displaying a symptom.  It seems though that randomly the media I'm watching will pause for upwards of 30 seconds, and then usually resume without issue.

 

I'm using Rasplex running on a Pi2, with everything hardwired across a gigabit network.  My unraid box is a dual 2670 with 128gb of ram, with the transcode directory sitting in memory (though this is for direct play items, so moot point).  I've examined the logs, and do not see anything that stands out.

 

Has anybody else had this issue, or can offer some advice?

 

Thanks in advance!

I noticed today there was an update for Plex so I went to apply the update and got this error:

 

oot@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="plex" --net="host" -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -e "VERSION"="latest" -v "/mnt/user/Movies/":"/movies":rw -v "/mnt/user/TV/":"/tv":rw -v "/mnt/user/appdata/plex":"/config":rw --cpuset-cpus=3,11,4,12 linuxserver/plex

 

/usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The name "/plex" is already in use by container daefe599cfefd11d827ae303e5a52e66e1234775d3cef737ef3875b0d51c9335. You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name..

See '/usr/bin/docker run --help'.

 

 

Not sure why there is a conflict, I haven't changed anything and this has now broken plex. Should I just delete the image and reinstall it?

How did you try to apply the update? Normally all you need to do is restart the existing docker and it will update itself. It sounds like you tried to install an additional instance.
