Plex Docker Connection Timed Out Errors


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this but I am running the trial version so I suppose I need pre-sales support.


I have unraid 6.3.3 up and running fine.  The main reason I wanted to use unraid was to use it as a plex media server that also held all of my media.  I noticed when scanning media that it would pause scanning every couple minutes for a few minutes at a time.  When I look at the container log there are many "connect: Connection timed out" errors.  I've tried the limetech docker and the official plex docker and they both do the same thing.

 

Here is a sample of the log:

[cont-init.d] executing container initialization scripts...
[cont-init.d] 40-plex-first-run: executing...
[cont-init.d] 40-plex-first-run: exited 0.
[cont-init.d] 50-plex-update: executing...
[cont-init.d] 50-plex-update: exited 0.
[cont-init.d] done.
[services.d] starting services
[services.d] done.
Starting Plex Media Server.
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out
connect: Connection timed out

 

It seems to happen almost every 2 minutes.

I don't know how to diagnose this, I'd appreciate any help.  Are there other logs I could look at?  Is this indicative of a hardware error: motherboard, network card, hard disk?  Or is it a software problem?
