[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server

[nsheth]

Thank you but I redoing whole server and want to know if following placement of files is correct:

appdata share is set for cache only

docker.img file /mnt/cache/appdata/docker.img

plex docker /mnt/user/appdata/docker/

 

What about system share currently by default is set to use all disk. please advice proper locations if I am doing correctly.

 

Thanks,

 

Yes, but this won't necessarily solve your problem.  If you deleted the appdata previously and deleted the docker image/container then that's all you need to wipe.  The Unraid OS has no bearing on your Plex problem.  I think redoing your whole server is unnecessary,

 

Hi CHBMB finally darn thing is working now after complete rebuilt. I need one more help from you can you please tell me if I can use back/restore app (dynamix) to backup plex container and settings to external drive? will I be able to restore? or its not worth it? Just don't want to go through this again.

 

Thanks,

[CHBMB]

The CA thread is probably a better place to get help on this.  I'm unconvinced the problem was with Unraid, as I've experienced this myself a long time ago, I think it's a Plex/Plex website syncing issue.

Probably is, but I do appreciate your help and time for answering my questions.

CA supports any mounted destination (ie: anything mounted via Unassigned Devices, Any array device, RClone destinations, etc)  Whether it works or not depends upon the destination filesystem capabilities.  CA will return an error on a backup if errors occurred.

Thank you Squid, I did backup appdata including docker to unassigned drive which is formatted in xfs and backup ran without any issues.

I'm getting the following error while trying to update the Plex image:

Any idea?

There's an entry in the docker FAQ about layers from manifest...

[Living Legend]

Thought I'd give this question a shot here.

 

I'm a HDHR Prime user.  I used to have great success using the plugin HDHR Viewer.  After a few PMS updates, my higher resolution streams can no longer play over the network as it states that the server is not powerful enough to convert video for smooth playback.  This never used to be an issue, and begin about 2 months ago.

 

I have since tried tinkering with version types, but to no avail.  I'm currently using

 

Plex Media Server: 0.9.16.6

HDHR Firmware: 20161117

HDHR Viewer: 0.9.12

 

EDIT:

 

Also just gave HD Grand Slam plugin a shot.  Same issue where it'll play for 2-3 seconds and then get choppy and freeze up.  Different error message about unable to play video, and tells me to look at my playback settings.

 

This leads me to think it's either an HDHR firmware issue, or PMS version.  I updated to docker tag to LATEST and I'm now running PMS  1.3.0.3059 with the same issues.

 

I've tried combinations of the latest PMS and older firmware, but still struggling here.

 

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  Currently the only thing I can do to make things work is lower playback to something very low, like 720 kbps.

 

Ultimately, I'm looking for a way to be able to view the HDHR remotely.  Up until recently, this has worked wonderfully.

 

Anyone else struggling, and/or have a combination of versions that works for them?

If you have Plex pass there is a beta DVR version of PMS that works with the HDHomeruns. No live streams but recordings seem to work well.

[Living Legend]

Hmm, I can't get the DVR to show up now.

 

I just upgraded unRAID to 6.2.4 and it said there was an update for most of my dockers even though I thought they were all up to date.

 

When I did the update to Plex, with version set to "plexpass" it still doesn't give me the DVR option that was once there.

 

Not sure if this is correlated, but the docker GUI shows;

Container ID: 1316e0b38db7

You have to specify a specific version of plex. Search this thread for hints.

Also check the Plex Pass DVR beta section on Plex forums. You can get the version number there.|

PS. once you have the DVR version installed, ignore warnings for newer versions. Installing any updates via plex or docker with replace it with the release non-DVR version.

Anyone having problems with remote connections with PMS version X.X.X.XXXX. It's a Plex Pass version and the issue has only been reported with unRAID's.

 

https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/245126/plex-remote-access-stopped-working-after-pms-and-unraid-updates#latest

 

The server will say "Accessible via Remote Connection" for about half a second then show it's inaccessible.

 

Main question is, can the PMS/docker be downgraded to a public version?

 

* mod - don't post plexpass version numbers

[CHBMB]

Can the PMS/docker be downgraded to a public version?

The "fun" part is finding an exact version number that doesn't end up a 404 in the Git pull. I have one saved I used to fall back due to Roku issues.

 

x.x.x.xxxx-xxxxxxx

 

Its about 3 or 4 weeks back as of today? Hope that helps.

 

ps. no this is NOT  a dvr version number.

Thanks. I don't need the fancy new DVR function.

Trying to set up Plex, but I'm not seeing any media folders under /mnt in Plex. /mnt has been added as a path (see screenshots) - any ideas?

Why do you have 2 mappings to /mnt?

Just trying random ideas - one is to /mnt and the other is to /mnt/user. Neither works, unfortunately (have tried it with just /mnt).

No, unfortunately - I've essentially just been following guides on these forums (e.g. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=37732.0)

[trurl]

Have you read the Docker FAQ sticky?

[masteroflife67]

Yes - I'm essentially just trying to /mnt to /mnt, which is what I think is suggested as the easiest (if not secure) way:

[Stuke00]

After the Plex container updates, I am finding that Plex isn't loading.  The logs show this:

 

[s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc...exited 0.

[s6-init] ensuring user provided files have correct perms...exited 0.

[fix-attrs.d] applying ownership & permissions fixes...

[fix-attrs.d] done.

[cont-init.d] executing container initialization scripts...

[cont-init.d] 10-adduser: executing...

 

and it just sits there.  I have to manually stop it and start it back up for it to load. 

[CHBMB]

We've seen this issue intermittently, and I've experienced it myself.  Never managed to work out exactly what is causing it and as you've noticed a restart does generally fix it.  We have thought of a couple of things to try but still in the "weighing up the pros and cons" stage of them.
