Plex not showing posters or reverse proxying correctly.

[HALPtech]

I have the binhex-plex container installed and everything seems to work well for the most part, but I'm experiencing two issues that I'm unable to resolve:

 

• I've set up a reverse proxy to be able to access it from plex.mydomain.com, however, the only way this works is if I enter plex.mydomain.com:32400 (my nginx settings are below using the sample configs in the Let's Encrypt container). 
• Plex no longer downloads are displays media posters, I have to manually go in and set them when new media (movies and TV shows) are added.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: A few other things that may be of importance:

 

• Movie and TV Show metadata is loading - just not posters
• I have the container's appdata saved on my cache, which is a btrfs pool consisting of two SSDs
• My agents are ordered correctly to pull from TMDB and others first, so it isn't a local media asset issue

 

# make sure that your dns has a cname set for plex, if plex is running in bridge mode, the below config should work as is, for host mode,
# replace the line "proxy_pass http://$upstream_plex:32400;" with "proxy_pass http://HOSTIP:32400;" HOSTIP being the IP address of plex
# in plex server settings, under network, fill in "Custom server access URLs" with your domain (ie. "https://plex.yourdomain.url:443")

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name plex.mydomain.com;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_buffering off;

For the Metadata part please do the following (taken from Plex Forums that worked for me)


1. Stop PMS
2. Delete the HTTPCookies file under the Plug-in Support (the agents)
3. Start PMS
4. Refresh All Metadata
5. Give it time to walk through.

For me the HTTPCookies files are in Plug-in Support/Data folder. Delete only the HTTPCookies files that are located in each folder. After doing that the Movies and TV shows Posters started populating.

FYI - I finally fixed it by clearing both the Data folder in the Plug-in Support folder as well as everything (folders included) in the Plug-in Support\Cache folder. Thanks for the help!
