February 13, 20179 yr Anyone running Plex (*.txz) that you download direct from www.plex.tv with Unraid 6.3? I can't seem to get it to work so I rolled back 6.2.4.
February 13, 20179 yr Author I have never had an issue prior to this with plex.tv version. I guess I'm just wondering if it is still supports 6.3.
February 14, 20179 yr I have never had an issue prior to this with plex.tv version. I guess I'm just wondering if it is still supports 6.3. Plex themselves probably no longer support their .txz install. They now have an unRaid specific (and official) docker template available within CA.
February 14, 20179 yr Author Ok thanks Squid. Can I still get my Plex Pass version? Is there any setting I have to set to get the plex pass version is this the privileged option? I assume I just have to erase the old Plexmediaserver folder on my flash and erase the *.txz file in the EXTRA directory and reboot and install the new Plex Plugin.

I assume I just have to erase the old Plexmediaserver folder on my flash and erase the *.txz file in the EXTRA directory and reboot and install the new Plex Plugin. Not a plugin, a docker. You should start by installing a plugin, though. Community Applications plugin. You can access the official plex docker from there, along with links to its documentation. Personally I'm still using the linuxserver.io docker, which you can also get the same way. You will need to learn how to setup dockers, mostly how to map volumes. See the Docker FAQ sticky in the Docker Engine subforum.
February 14, 20179 yr If you install the needo plex docker it automatically works with plex pass. That's what i'm running....
February 14, 20179 yr Community Expert If you install the needo plex docker it automatically works with plex pass. That's what i'm running.... needo isn't around much these days. linuxserver.io is probably most recommended and support plexpass and betas.

That's what i'm running.... needo isn't around much these days. linuxserver.io is probably most recommended and support plexpass and betas. Maybe so but he's definitely still updating it. In fact I just got an update today to 1.4.1.3662

In fact I just got an update today to 1.4.1.3662 That is the nature of the docker "update" by restarting it. It goes out and gets the latest build from Plex. Needo hasn't touched the docker container code in months.

I should probably try and switch over to linuxserver.io plex docker soon then... Is there a way to switch and have it still recognize my needo created plex library or do I have to delete everything? edit...nevermind, I found it http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg445818#msg445818

Probably nothing wrong with Needo's code. The thing is that if/when any one ever has a problem with Plex and they are running the container from Needo, the first troubleshooting suggestion is to switch to linuxserver or binhex, as those two still actively support their containers whereas everything from Needo is basically without any author/maintainer support at all

I'll probably leave it alone for now. I've had no problems with it.
February 14, 20179 yr I also have Needo's Plex docker container running on 6.2.4. My appdata folder is on a 240 GB Samsung SSD, and it's been working without any issues so far. If for some reason I want to switch to the Plex official docker, is it possible to do so without losing the Plex DB in appdata? If so, what would be the recommended procedure?
February 15, 20179 yr To rephrase my question above, what would be the procedure to migrate from Needo's (no longer supported) Plex docker container to a current one? Can I do it while preserving my existing appdata DB? Which container do you guys recommend?

Can I do it while preserving my existing appdata DB? Which container do you guys recommend? Should be just a matter of using the same volume mappings. I switched from needo to linuxserver.io plex quite a while ago and it worked fine.
February 16, 20179 yr Thanks trurl, but I've never done this so I'd appreciate a bit more detailed instructions, or a link? I'm afraid of screwing this up, thanks!
February 16, 20179 yr Community Expert You might want to backup your plex appdata folder in case of a problem. Edit the container and just change the repository from needo/plex to linuxserver/plex.
