Plex was working fine the day before yesterday so I am not quite sure what is going on if those backups don't work either. UPDATE: I have replaced my DB files from a week ago and pulled the older version :1.32.0.6950-1-01 and I am back up and running. No idea what has caused it but will wait a couple of weeks before attempting to go latest again. I just posted what appears to be the same issue with the "latest" tag docker image. Sorry for reposting, i didnt see this post prior to submitting mine. I've been able to workaround it by doing the same as you, using a specific version tag and not grabbing the latest version of the docker image. Following this thread now as well as mine ...

planetwilson Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I have the same, if I go latest, get same issue. Back on :1.32.0.6950-1-01 at the moment. I can zip up and send on any db files or similar you would like if that helps. Not sure what else to do to repro though. Quote Link to comment
Lonewolf147 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Been having an issue for a few weeks now, Plex isn't using my NVIDIA GPU for transcoding anymore. I haven't made any hardware changes, or any changes to the Plex configuration. It is still transcoding, but it is using my CPU instead. Anyone else having this issue, or any ideas how to fix it?

ellosunshine Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I'm brand new to all this, so please bear with me. I've been going back and forth with this docker and the official plex media server one. I'm having the issue with not being able to actually log into the media server. everytime i open the webui, i get taken to the web app client without any server settings available. I am using another pc to access my unraid server, connected at a network switch. both server and pc have static ip's. i've tried accessing the server through the pc, as well as within a firefox docker on the server. i've tried accessing through 5.x.x.x:32400/web and the 127.0.0.1:32400/web. I've seen some posts about messing with the preferences xml, but I am unsure how to open/access that file because when i try on my pc through windows file manager/network, it says to ask the admin for rights.

TrueImpulse Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hi, I've noticed an issue since the latest update where Plex appears to get stuck "Detecting intros:" after a new episode of anything is added. Everything else with Plex appears to work find but you can see under activity its stuck detecting. I've left it for hours and it never finishes. The container shows 5-6% usage while its stuck detecting. Restarting the container clears the issue until it tries to scan again. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment
JBanner Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Having a problem with Plex "Freezing" overnight. It even slows down all of my other dockers, and it slows down getting into the Dockers Tab - 40-50 seconds to open the tab. If i Stop the Plex Docker, it waits for awhile and then a message saying "Execution Error" comes up. But If I then restart plex it runs again fine until something like 7:00 am the next day. I looked inthe Logs and there is quite a lot like this "2023-07-02 07:42:36,336 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: No data written! 2023-07-02 07:42:40,376 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: No data written! 2023-07-02 07:42:41,020 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: The '--scan' operation is deprecated and will be removed in future versions of Plex Media Server. 2023-07-02 07:42:46,152 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: No data written! 2023-07-02 07:42:50,929 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output:" And "2023-07-03 06:08:55,609 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: No data written! 2023-07-03 07:12:00,133 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB. 2023-07-03 07:46:20,887 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB.

That warning message normally indicates something is busy reading and/or writing to your plex database which then is causing your system hang, take a look at the processes running on your system and look at the plex log to try and identify what is causing the database to be busy.

I have a RTX 3080 (yes I know, mega overkill but had other aspirations) that I've been using the last year+ for transcoding video to HEVC to conserve space.
