EDIT - Figured it out ... I couldn't just use the webUI as is. I had to add http://10.0.0.2:32400/web/index.html to the end of it.

That's odd!, i can hit http://<my ip>:32400 and i get auto redirection to http://<my ip>:32400/web/index.html what browser are you using? any wacky extensions that could be blocking redirection?.

That is odd; I’m using safari on the iPad and chrome on the windows PC. In safari I’m using AdGuard. On the Windows (11) PC, I’m using uBlock Origin .. which I disabled to test (to no avail).

The WebUI link from unRAID doesn't work for me on Firefox either. It will open a new tab, using just the server IP address and port, but no redirection ever takes place. You get the XML script / page output on screen (as others have mentioned). Manually adding the '/web/index.html' string onto the end of the url in the address bar fixes the problem, and the setup web-page appears as expected.

It's definitely something amiss with this version of Plex, as the Linuxserver.io version does not suffer from this issue for me, on exactly the same setup.

And if you try opening the URL with chrome redirection does happen, right?

Sorry, I don't (and won't) install / use Chrome.

It only seems to be an issue on a vanilla (unconfigured) install. After setting it up, the issue no longer arises (for me).

Hello everyone,
After entering my Plex account, I’m directly taken to the Plex web library. I have no chance to set up the media server and import my data. What am I doing wrong? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, total newbie here having some issues with plex transcoding. I'm trying to set it up to transcode using RAM as per the TRaSH guide.

 

I followed IBRACORP's instructions on his "Mastering Plex with RAM Transcoding on Unraid: Expert Tips" video. However it appears to be slightly outdated as after inserting "--device=/dev/dri --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/tmp,tmpfs-size=18000000000 --no-healthcheck" into the extra perameters section he simply moves on whereas in my edit section I have a "variable: TRANS_DIR" section.

 

I then followed the instructions on here https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/plex.md however when i log into plex on my mobile and start playing a 1080p video my CPU usage goes up lots and my RAM usage remains unchanged, presumably this means it is not using my RAM to transcode.

 

Additionally the mobile plex player stops the video after roughly a minute.

 

Any help would be amazing

Transcode to RAM

  • Go to unRAID web ui/Docker tab/left click Plex container and select 'edit'
  • Click on the toggle for 'advanced view'
  • Go to variable named 'TRANS_DIR' and set the value to /transcode

 

  • Click on 'Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device' and select 'Config Type' of 'Path'
  • Set 'Container Path' to /transcode and 'Host Path' to /tmp
  • Click on 'Add'
  • Click on 'Apply' to apply the change

Just done a clean install, applied these changes and am still getting large activity on cpu and no RAM change

does SSD (cache) transcribing work?

I'm getting the same issue... Do I have to run another docker instance for media server?

  • 2 weeks later...

My server has been off for the last week when I powered it on 2 days ago everything was working fine but after updating the plex container it now doesn't work

When I connect to it locally (http://[Server IP]:32400) it says "The connection was reset"

When I try and connect via app.plex.tv it say "[Server Name] is currently unavailable"

When I try and connect remotely (https://[External IP]:32400) i get "<Response code="503" title="Maintenance" status="Plex Media Server is currently running startup maintenance tasks."/>"

 

I've tried forcing an update, and deleting perms.txt

Hi everyone, 

 

I installed plex-binhex on a new Unraid server. While running it, i encountered this error. 
I tried removing the image / delete its appdata to start from scratch. Still having the same issue. If someone can point me to the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Here's the error log

sounds like you have some crud after this command line option, can you screenshot the settings for the container and post here.

You can ignore that error regards `--serverUuid` and `Critical: libusb_init failed` they are both crud messages from Plex, try connecting to URL:- http://<your server ip>:32400/web if that doesnt work then attach plex log file located at /config/Plex Media Server/Logs/Plex Media Server.log

Here's my docker settings. I'm running it on br0 network.

This happens after latest docker update.

 

How do I fix this?
