yukonhijack Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 So I was getting errors from Unraid about the utilization of my thumbdrive with the OS maxing out. I read around here and found that if I stopped Plex in docker, selected Edit, and then (without making changes) saved it, it would reduce the size of Plex (through deleting logs I guess) and I would no longer have utilization issues. Well, now whenever I try to stream a movie from Plex (either through Roku or my tablet/laptop) I get constant pauses with streaming spinning/loading disks. Has anyone experienced this? I hope there is a fix other than deleting Plex and reinstalling. Any help is appreciated. Greg Quote Link to comment

When you save "thumbdrive", do you mean "thumbdrive" (ie: your USB boot stick), or did you really mean "cache drive" Quote Link to comment
yukonhijack Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sorry, I guess I am not sure. I thought it was the Thumbdrive that I boot Unraid from on my server. I actually have no idea (gasp) Quote Link to comment
yukonhijack Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 I actually just got antsy and deleted my Plex install and then reinstalled it. I am letting it settle in a bit and then will try it again to see if I have the same issues. Quote Link to comment
yukonhijack Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 OK, so I just reinstalled PLEX and after it settled down for about 10 minutes, I am able to stream two movies to two different computers in my house without a problem. Must have been an issue with my update/edit/install of PLEX server. Sorry for the hassle fellas. Hope you didn't spend too much time reading this Quote Link to comment
