In the logs I keep getting 
Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB.

Over and over. Is there a setting that I'm missing?


Not that I know of, sounds like your drive is too busy to process the sqlite commits, are you writing to cache drive or array for /config ?

Array drive. I disabled cache for now. Migrating to this server, so I don't want cache for a bulk copy. However, no copy was running when I was getting this. Is it normal for plex to show these errors when it's building up the database for the first time?

I've never seen it before but that's probably because I write to ssd cache, I would say ignore it for now and see if it occurs once your using cache drive again

 

personally i would concentrate on getting your data migrated, get that 100% done, get the cache drive re-introduced and then start from the beginning with docker, you dont want to rush these things, small and steady steps is the way to do this.

I ended up finding a thread on migrating your plex database to a new system. It ended up being so much less of a pain to deal with.

 

After watching it for a while, it would start throwing those errors after 10+ hours of processing metadata. At that point, there were all kinds of issues. I couldn't fix matches anymore. Posters were missing. It was a mess.

 

So then (not that I don't trust you) I downloaded the official docker. Same exact thing. It seems like bulk data import is the issue here.

bulk data imports on a array that is limited on write speed (aka unraid array) is very possibly the issue, without cache drive your write speeds will be low, and sqlite is not good at managing unusual situations, such as IO limitations. writing to a cache drive is the way forward, speeds are SIGNIFICANTLY improved when writing to cache drive, i would delete the half baked metadata on your array drive, get that migration finished and then go from a fresh start on cache drive.

 

btw this doesnt have to be like this:-

simply dont set the shares to use the cache drive and you wont have this issue, it will write straight to the array, i dont use the cache drive to cache writes to shares (as dont many people), so i simply dont set any shares to use it and disable unraid "mover" job done.

I just redid an install of binhex-plexpass and I get connection refused in the browser when trying to access the ui. Not certain where to go from here. I tried to install the limetech version of plex docker and was able to access ui as soon as the install was done. Any help ?

If this can help, my supervisord.log file shows the following:

I'm looking for a guide to get Trakt scrobbler installed and running and I am using the Binhex-Plexpass docker. Any links to such or is it not possible?

 

**EDIT** Nevermind. I was overthinking it. I copied the trakt.tv bundle into the Plex plugin folder on AppData, restarted Plex Docker and it showed up in Plex WebUI under Channels for configuration. Derp.

I just noticed something weird.  Why do all my other dockers have a port assigned to them but Plex doesn't?  Plex works fine but wondering why it doesn't show a port being used like my other dockers?  I'm also wondering if this is why I can't get the Plex Unsupported App store working

its because this docker container is configured for host mode not bridge mode, thus you cant (and dont need to) define port mappings. i have no idea what your trying to get working, but to be honest running in host mode is more likely to make external apps etc working than running in bridge mode.

This is what he's talking about, it just allows you to easily install unofficial plugins. I had no issues installing it. All I had to do was extract the zip file and drop it in my plug-ins folder via SMB and it worked instantly. Check you permissions.

Hi I got a question for config.

 

If i want to use an ssd for transcoding what it have to change in the config files ? 

 

 

thank you

 

if you have a ssd i would strongly recommend using it as a cache drive, then simply move your existing config files over to the ssd, this will significantly speed up all docker containers then, not just plex.

i got 3 in my cache pool so should i put the fourth one has well ?

because i got like 100Go of metadata in the ssd i dont mind wiping it.

But in the future i want a good solution to backup them. should i put 2 of the cache together and 2 other also together is it possible.

thx

as i don't have any experience of cache pooling for unraid, and as this question isnt directly related to this container i would advise you post this message in the general support area, im sure somebody will answer this.

Binhex thanks for the hard work.

 

is there an update coming to this docker to support1.8.1.4139

 

I keep getting this message for the last few days

A Plex Media Server update is available for the server TOWER! 1.8.1.4139

 

no doubt, its fully automated now so as soon as its available on AUR then it will be built.

nah, thats the official plex docker, what im waiting on  (or my auto build script) is for somebody on AUR (arch user repository) to catch up:- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plex-media-server-plexpass/ note the out of date flag.
