binhex Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) IMPORTANT - This Docker image allows Plex Pass account holders to get early access to new features which is great, HOWEVER it also means you are more susceptible to newly introduced bugs. Â If you value stability over shiny new features then please consider running binhex-plex instead, link to support below:- https://forums.unraid.net/topic/44141-support-binhex-plex/ Â Note - To be clear, the binhex-plex Docker Image still allows you access to all the additional features you get with a Plex Pass account, it just means you will get delayed access to any NEW features added by Plex developers.

binhex Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Existing users please read If you download the latest Docker image as of 16th Feb 2016 then permissions and ownership will be applied on startup, if you want to avoid this happening then please create an empty file called "perms.txt" in the root of the host mapped /config folder. Please note permissions will ONLY be applied on FIRST RUN with the new image, after that a perms.txt file is automatically created and it will not re-apply permissions unless the file is manually deleted.  The reason i am doing this is to further allow the user to define the user and group the container runs as via UID and GID env vars, this means non unraid users can now more easily run the containers as any user, as opposed to being forced to set perms manually for user "nobody". This also helps people easily sort out any permissions issues by simply deleting the /config/perms.txt file to force a re-apply of the correct permissions for the container.  Note If you do not create /config/perms.txt then please expect a wait whilst permissions are set on the first run, you can expect wait times of up to 15 mins for large metadata collections, if your unsure whether its still applying changes then please check /config/supervisord.log Quote Link to comment
spylex Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hey binhex, thanks for all your hard work. I keep getting this issue appearing in my logs: Â 2016-02-03 23:06:46,406 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stderr output: Error loading bundle code. Â When viewing the log. Â I've installed the absolute scanner and HamaTV and i think these aren't working very well, i need the absolute scanner for anime... I'd like to see where it errors out but the log viewer just doesn't load after 1-2 seconds. Quote Link to comment
iamkhris Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've updated to the latest docker version and have waited about 2 hours. The docker still will not start. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
binhex Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi Binhex,  I use 5 of your dockers; many thanks for all the hard work you put in on keeping them up and running.  I woke up this morning and noticed all 5 had updates available. After the updates the dockers are running, there is heavily load on my CPU but I am getting connection refused when trying to connect via web interface to each docker. I am using:  Deluge SABnzbd Sonarr Movegrabber PlexPass Media Server  As the CPU load was heavy I stopped all the services till I can figure out what is going on. I have restarted each docker individually but still cannot connect.  Any thoughts? Having all key programs down is a bit unsettling.  TIA!! Greg  there was a missing script on a few of the dockers, this has now been corrected and new images built, the heavy load you saw for plex is due to the implementation of permissions being set on first run, see post 2. of this thread, if you killed this half way through then i would probably advise updating to the latest image, then stop the containers, delete the file perms.txt in /config if present and then starting again, please wait whilst permissions are set initially, once done it will NOT run again unless you manually delete the perms.txt file.

Acps Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Most likely a dumb question, but is there a way to have PMS transcode to memory instead of a tmp folder? Quote Link to comment
squirrellydw Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So I updated all my plugins and I think everything is working OK but I never look at my logs. So I guess everything is working Quote Link to comment
ChaOConnor Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Most likely a dumb question, but is there a way to have PMS transcode to memory instead of a tmp folder?  Here you go! I used this method, works great!   Quote Link to comment

squirrellydw Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Any chance you get update this for the latest version that was released yesterday. Not sure if that will fix my issue but a couple friends can't access Plex. Quote Link to comment

pilgrimHK Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Binhex,  I just upgraded to latest binhex dockers as all needed to be updated. Two are not working properly.  Plex Pass: when I load via web to server:port, I get a message about an unclaimed server, but main issue is that I CANNOT access server settings. I have reloaded docker, restarted server, but nothing is working. Web search shows a fix for a similar problem from about a year ago where people delete framework and system bundles, but I can't find those, so I am thinking maybe the architect is different on current vefsions of PMS. Any ideas here? All was good prior to the update, but now I can't access via outside my network or via my media players.  Also can't connect to SABnzbd, but have not looked into that yet.  TIA,  Greg Quote Link to comment

If this works try the same trick for sab. Quote Link to comment
