Had nothing to do with 6.9.2 as it was running fine after the upgrade. Plex just stopped responding and was dropping any connection being made to it. Nothing obvious in the Plex logs either. Life is too short to troubleshoot sometimes. I just deleted the whole thing, reinstalled, scanned the library again. All is up and working again. Easy. I seem to recall that sometimes Plex 'Databases'? can get corrupt? Who knows. Anyway, all is well again and family have their tv. Quote Link to comment
dapiedude Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Hey all, I have been having a very odd problem and I cannot seem to find any solution to it. I have been running a plex container on UnRAId for nearly 2 years. I'm currently running the latest docker image in 6.9.2 but this issue has been happening since before 6.9.0. I have a P2000 that I use for HW transcoding and 32GB of RAM. -- Every once in a while (every 24 hours up to just once in 3 weeks), I will receive a message from Uptime Robot that my Plex server is unreachable. I will be unable to access my content and am met with a message explaining that it is unable to connect. None of my libraries will load and I cannot access the server's settings. After some amount of time (1-5 hours) Plex will be available again. Usually, I've restarted the container a few times but I'm not sure if the restart was effective because Plex will still be unavailable for a while after the restart. Occasionally, I'll restart UnRAID which usually seems to fix the problem right away. I can't remember if I've ever NOT restarted the Plex container. This problem happened this morning and I spent nearly an hour troubleshooting. After nearly 90 minutes, I was suddenly able to access Plex again. I wish that I could be more specific on what fixed it, but I had restarted the container and was typing up this post when it became accessible again. The only change I've made is changing the Network Type from Bridge to Host (back and forth a few times). I don't really understand what the network type is lol but it was working on Bridge for about a week, then I changed it to Host after it stopped working and now it's working again. Probably a correlation and not causal since the last time it stopped working I changed it from Host back to Bridge and it started working again after some time. This most recent time, I also changed my Appdata path from /mnt/user/appdata/plex to /mnt/cache/appdata/plex. Again, I don't think that this made any difference but if it did then awesome! -- While watching the Plex console logs, this is what I'll see for the entire time that the server is down: ------------------------------------- _ () | | ___ _ __ | | / __| | | / \ | | \__ \ | | | () | |_| |___/ |_| \__/ Brought to you by linuxserver.io ------------------------------------- To support LSIO projects visit: https://www.linuxserver.io/donate/ ------------------------------------- GID/UID ------------------------------------- User uid: 99 User gid: 100 ------------------------------------- [cont-init.d] 10-adduser: exited 0.

While the issue is occurring, I am unable to access Plex from my local IP (192.168.x.x:32400) as the page never loads. However, I am still able to access the GUI via app.plex.tv That's where I encounter the error message that says my Plex is unavailable. I'm hoping to stop having issues where Plex becomes unavailable and any insight on what I've done wrong or ways to fix this issue is incredibly helpful! I've attached the server logs as well as my docker config info. There are a few unmapped paths (/movies, /tv, /music) which reappear after re-pulling the docker but all of my libraries are accessible.

Its using VAAPI, one time i saw a transcode via nvidia-smi (inside docker container) Is there a safe way to test it? and would it 100% use gpu over cpu? Currently i just go to play a file and then select 1080 or 720 or something to make it transcode Edited April 14 by nuhll Quote Link to comment

I was checking to see if you were experiencing the same issue as I was. I rolled back to docker tag linuxserver/plex:1.21.3.4046-3c1c83ba4-ls27 and I have HW transcode back for now. EDIT: I upped this to linuxserver/plex:1.22.0.4163-d8c4875dd-ls34 docker (v1.22.0.4163 per recommendation from the Plex forum thread on this issue: https://forums.plex.tv/t/4k-hdr-hevc-hw-transcoding-is-broken-on-i5-11600k-rocket-lake/707057/29) Hoping it fixes the audio sync issue I started to notice on the older version I tried first (v1.21.3.4046).

chris_netsmart Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) I just upgraded my plex docker to the latest version, and I discovered the following. that remote access is no longer working that when I go in to have a look it has the right external IP address, but the word internet is greyed out and I have a red cross. I have rechecked all my settings and all looks right. Update: I have just rolled back and I am still getting the same issue: linuxserver/plex:version-1.22.0.4163-d8c4875dd it looks like it connect's and then loss the connection.

Squid Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 To rule it all out, have you checked your port forwarding in the router? Quote Link to comment
chFresh Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) I had a problem after a power outage, my Plex docker would not start then it disappeared. I tried to redownload the Plex docker. But then it started as a fresh plex docker. So I tried CA Appdata restore. Everything seemingly worked, but it seems Plex cant reach the “old plex server and library” only the new instance from when I redownloaded the docker. Adding a picture of what I am seeing.

Squid Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 IIRC correctly, that's a regular problem with Plex. Look on their support forum for Reclaim Server Quote Link to comment
chFresh Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) ty, i reclaimed the server. but the media library saying it's empty. that wired because restoring from ca seemingly goes w out error every user and settings is correct. but no library Edited April 21 by chFresh Quote Link to comment

ptchernegovski Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 So have been having an issue, when I have been downloading with NZBget, and it moves to my media share, Plex will freeze trying to scan files. I have to restart Plex to get it to load new files, and run ok. If I stop NZBget, Plex will run ok for about an hour, then freeze again. It causes issues watching things on the same network, and also people remotely can struggle to even see the content. Log file attached Plex Log.txt Quote Link to comment
Keelhaulers Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Help on rolling back to an earlier version. Just realized the latest version of Plex is incompatible with ME !! I hate the combined "Continue Watching" and "On Deck" hubs, for me this is a deal breaker. Besides all the other small details with not being able to customize the Home Screen any longer. Is there a way to roll back versions on the docker? I see in the setup there is a "version" key that states "docker". If I can roll back, would this be where the old version would be put? What are the older versions? Is there a list? Sorry for so many questions, as a Lifetime Plex subscriber, I've about had it. Just not working for me anymore, unless I can roll back.

Which could be good, but they made some changes that don’t work for my viewing pleasure. Mainly the combining of “Continue Watching” and “On Deck” into one row hub. It doesn’t work for me as I usually have 30+ items that I’m viewing and scrolling for 2 minutes through this looking for what I want doesn’t work for me. There are other changes as well, like if you have TV/DVR setup and have it pinned on the left, you can not get rid of the “what’s on” and “Recent channels” hubs. again, all of this may be ok for a lot of users, it just isnt for my needs. -Keelhaulers Edited April 28 by Keelhaulers Quote Link to comment
