February 8, 20251 yr On 2/5/2025 at 5:58 PM, binarymelon said: I started having an issue where transcoding is failing. I have tried rolling back to an older version but no changes so I don't think the issue is on the plex side. The only thing I think changes on the server side is maybe upgrading the nvidia plugin. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar to this. The only error I see in the logs is: `Unable to create output stream for transcode session, no segments found.` I am having this issue too. Have tried everything, uninstalling reinstalling gpu top, every kind of permissions change to make sure the docker has access, and downgrading from unraid 7. Nothing yet. I get “jobs failed with chdir erro=no2” whenever I try to transcode. Am on an intel alder lake s gt1. Edit: I resolved this by running "chmod -R 777 /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-plexpass/tmp/", but if you're in a similar bind just make sure you run it using the folder you use for transcode, which will be different if you transcode to ram or something else Edited February 8, 20251 yr by Tashlinite
February 9, 20251 yr An error occurred trying to play "xxx". Error code: s1001 (Network) Using Plex in Unraid docker container. Everything was running smoothly. Since a week, all newly added episodes give me above error. Movies and older TV episodes seem to work. Tried plex-web and device players. Any idea?
February 10, 20251 yr How do I go and see Playback error codes? I am having issue with transcoding HEVC Main files with my Quadro P2000. The proper variables are set, and Plex correctly sees the GPU, but I still cannot transcode the media at all. I get " Playback Error This server is not powerful enough to convert video." With no indication of why. Is there somewhere in logs I can find a specific reason, or is there any guidance someone can offer?

I do (well used to) transcode to memory and I actually have a script that runs at startup to make sure the folder has the correct user:group. Here are some logs if anyone else has any ideas. plex_transcode.log Edit: I just did some more testing and it looks like it only fails when subtitles are enabled. I am able to transcode to h265 and h264 fine otherwise. Edited February 10, 20251 yr by binarymelon

The command failed. Very odd message you got there!, it looks like docker has failed to download one of the image layers and thus you are ending up with a corrupt image, try the following:- 1. Go to unraid web ui 2. Go to docker tab and left click and select 'remove' for the plexpass container, ensuring the 'also remove image' tickbox is ticked 3. Click on 'add container' at the bottom of the docker page and select user 'user templates' and select the binhex-plexpass template, then simply click apply. Step 3 should pull down the image again and create a container for you, hopefully this time around it downloads successfully, if it still fails then i would start looking at your docker storage and ensuring it's not corrupt, also check for memory issues with your server.

March 16, 20251 yr Hello, Is it possible to add an additional "/media" path to include another pool? I'd like to point my DVR/LiveTV to an NVMe drive vs my RAIDZ3 pool which causes stuttering until I rewind after 10 seconds and it's replaying what's already recorded to the pool.

If this is a plex issuse please let me know and I will work on that. THanks Another great reason to have an appdata backup. I realize the above post is a week old, and I hope you were able to get it sorted. But the time spent on trying to get it sorted would have been better spent on one of the following two things: 1. Restore a recent backup (mine is weekly, no idea what yours or anyone else sets theirs at but a week for non-critical data is a good start) 2. Nuclear approach... Using MC, delete Plex entirely from your appdata, including all config files. Every last trace of Plex get rid of it. Then install again via CA and let it sync up again. May take awhile, but a sure fire way to get it back up and running. No one likes to take the nuclear approach, but if you didnt have a backup then thats on you. (AND me, because I didnt have my backups set right and I had to nuke my stuff about a year ago..never again lol)
March 26, 20251 yr So i upgraded to the latest release and it completely bricked my sql database: "sqlite3_statement_backend::loadOne: attempt to write a readonly database (N4soci10soci_errorE)" So i started using the plexdb repair tool, then ran into this: "Parse error near line 1: database is locked (5) plex" What ultimately fixed it without having to try to go back to a backup was just going back to the previous release: binhex/arch-plexpass:1.41.5.9522-1-01

I did exactly this, entered a new path the way you described. When hitting APPLY the docker image disappeared completely. It is not visible over the DOCKER view in unraid, nor over the DASHBOARD view. Calling the /manage adress leads to errors. The docker image was working perfectly fine. How do i recover it? Using the ADD option and entering a new media path is all i changed. I don't have any idea how to undo the change and make the docker work again. Any help would be kindly appreciated. Thank you. EDIT: In the DOCKER view i hit ADD CONTAINER and on the following page i selected my binhex-plexpass docker image and i was able to remove the new path setting. This way plex is working again, but there seems to be no way to add an additional media path to plex with the information provided. There should be at least a working example provided to prevent misinterpretations. Edited April 12, 20251 yr by Gekko Found a solution
April 15, 20251 yr I see a lot of comments lately with people having the same issue as me where this container is locking up their entire server. I think I have figured out the cause because I can reproduce the issue by adding "--runtime=nvidia" into extra parameters. Once I did this after reinstall, Plex stopped working and locked up my server again. I have it all back up and running, except hardware transcoding using my Nvidia GPU, since I can't add the extra parameter. Has anyone else figured out how to get this working with the latest update? EDIT: Nevermind, it just locked up again all on its own randomly while working on updating other dockers. Other dockers are now getting orphaned and having to be reinstalled. Hoping this parity check finishes before it does it again. It already corrected 1 error. What a nightmare. Edited April 15, 20251 yr by carnivorebrah

There should be at least a working example provided to prevent misinterpretations. Documenting every possible eventuality that a user may do is not possible, sorry about that. Here is what it should look like, in this example i have added a new root folder for the container called 'wallpapers' which points at a sub folder of pictures on the array:- Feel free to 'Name' it if you wish and put a 'Description' too if you like (both optional), click ADD then click APPLY at the bottom of the screen to recreate the container. Once done go to Plex Web UI and add the folder, remembering to reference the container path not the host path, so add /wallpapers (in my example).

April 17, 20251 yr Hello All, Still getting my feet wet in the Unraid/Docker world here. I've used Plex for years on a regular Windows install and have just recently moved to Unraid. The only bothersome sticking point I'm having is I can't get Plex to generate thumbnails for all my TS Shows and Movies. I've made sure to select the proper settings in both the Library general settings and enabled them in each individual library. At first it seemed as though a few thumbnails were being created but after 4 days I haven't noticed any new ones being created. Given that my Unraid array has over 35TB of usable free space and I have 2 1TB cache drives I was sure I wouldn't have any space issues but I honestly don't know how this works in Unraid/Docker. Any tips/tricks/help that can be offered would be appreciated.

I'm only assuming but your config or data directory may not have the right permission for plex to tag/save data.
April 21, 20251 yr Hey all. I'm trying to run /home/nobody/dbrepair.sh but I'm getting an error "Read-only file system" for both option 1 and 2 (check and repair). I'm not sure how to fix that. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you try stopping the container, then delete the file /config/perms.txt and then start the container, this should reset permissions for you, it could take a while to process so leave it running until the conainer starts, or if it's in a broken state then leave it for around 30 minutes then perform the dbrepair.sh again

I'm only assuming but your config or data directory may not have the right permission for plex to tag/save data. The only things I see in the logs are lines like this: "2025-04-20 16:40:46,629 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stdout output: Generated new chapter thumbnails for Episode 22." This makes me think thumbnails are being created but I can't tell if they're the kind of thumbnails I'm looking for or what series it is to go and verify what was done. I don't see any errors to help point me in the right direction either.

Another issue I have now is that the container starts and says "success: plexmediaserver entered RUNNING state", but I'm not able to access the web UI. It just says "400 Bad Request". Any ideas how to fix this? Google returns nothing useful. Reinstalling either container doesn't work. I'd rather use the container I was using before anyways because I don't feel like going through 3K movies to fix manual matches I had fixed previously because I don't remember them all.
