I will have to see if I get anymore malformed messages, but integrity check came back good, so this looks like it worked. Thanks for such an easy tool to correct something like this! 1 Quote Link to comment
dopeytree Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I'm getting this error when trying to load after a repair.. 2023-07-19 21:10:55,837 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::loadOne: attempt to write a readonly database (N4soci10soci_errorE) But have run a permissions fix and now loads ok.

dopeytree Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Anyone else getting audio transcode errors?

dopeytree Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Ok think I fixed it. Went to / plex media server / codecs Then deleted the easy audio folder. Then force updated the container. Same video is now 12% cpu instead of 100% 1 Quote Link to comment
dopeytree Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) 4K DoVi (HEVC Main 10) content shows like this when doing HDR to SDR. Does anyone else get this? Hardware should be capable of transcoding easily. 11th gen igpu 11-900t I have the device added as device /dev/dri How do I tell it to use all the intel driver capabilities i.e to match the default nvidia variables. Thanks Edited July 30, 2023 by dopeytree Quote Link to comment
gellux Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) looking for some assistance, here. up-to-date with binhex-plexpass on unraid 6.11.5 recently seems unable to handle certain files, and i've been trying to narrow down the cause: i thought DTS was the issue on my Samsung TV, as i believe they are unable to play it, though the transcoder should work. my Roku is also having the same issues, however. i tried a non-DTS movie today and it did not work, though it was DD5.1 the movie that did work was the same size as the DD5.1, but FLAC audio. it did transcode the audio, and it worked fine. so there's something in the transcoding... I have an NVIDIA [GeForce GTX 950] GPU which should be more than capable. i used TrashGuides recommended Plex settings for transcoding, but wanted to check with the binhex container settings TG recommended to use /tmp/plex for the /transcode setting, i'm not sure if that will certainly use my SSD cache(?) the other binhex settings ": NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES" i don't know what to set? nothing is available to click and choose. the Plex console logs are a mess, it is running things constantly and i have no idea what it's doing, it's not any library scan or anything i've asked it. as a workaround, i can sometimes get the item to play on my laptop PMS, pause it, open TV/Roku, and Resume it from Continue Watching. no other way works, but always get the error message "unable to add to play queue" i've attached the log of what is constantly happening when i'm not trying to play anything. what information can i give that can help someone help me lock this down and get plex working as it should? thanks for any assistance Edited August 2, 2023 by gellux Quote Link to comment
eds Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I am wondering if anyone is experiencing issues recording. I can tune in channels, but if I try to record, I get the error "it looks like something went wrong. please try again". This has been since updating to the most recent docker version about a week ago. I keep seeing two errors in the logs: downloadContainer: expected MediaContainer element, found html Invalid library metadata ID tv.plex.xmltv://episode/CNN%20News%20Central/1/288 passed. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment

xokia Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 May seem like a dumb question but I am new to unraid. Not new to plex. When I downloaded your version of plex-server its states it the same version (1.32.5.7349) as the official release. I thought folks were downloading yours to get the "latest" release of plex-server? Is that correct or am I misunderstanding something? Quote Link to comment

Was referring to plex pass version. Ok I will try again and see what it says. *edit* seems to works thanks Do you know why if I direct play nothing shows up in the dashboard as playing. If I force transcode it shows up in the dashboard. This behavior did not exist when running under ubuntu. Clearly we can see the network is streaming something. I can confirm if HDR tone mapping is enabled HW transcode is broken. If you disable HDR tone mapping HW transcode will work. I am using 13900 CPU with iGPU Edited September 11, 2023 by xokia Quote Link to comment
xokia Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) So I reverted back to 6.11.5 and plex server just does not seem to work correctly. HW transcode does not work at all. You still have to disable tone mapping on 6.11.5 to get HW transcode to work. If I direct play a 4k movie I see multiple issues. 1. You are unable to skip forward. The display does not show the correct length of the movie 2. The movie does not show up in the dashboard as being played as indicated in the above image where you can see network traffic is streaming but not status of movie. I have the i9 13900 with i915 GPU I see issues when trying to force transcode of 4k movie If after movie starts you go to HD then try to change the resolution it gives you no option but convert automatically. If you choose that and then go back to HD NOW you can choose which resolution you want. Just doesnt seem like the docker container and plex-server are working correctly together. So frustrating to get plex working correctly!! *edit* my issue was solve Issue was: 1. Needed latest driver (Intel-GPU-TOP) which does not appear in driver directory. 2. Had a corrupted test file.

chishola1 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm looking for some help with my PLEX server. When I run any PLEX docker within 1.5 days or less it will go unresponsive with the only way to recover being a hard reboot or it will crash and reboot on its own. Without PLEX running server is solid as a rock. I have tested multiple PLEX dockers with no change and ran memtest86 (free only supports 4 passes) with no errors. Any other ideas?
