Plex not working after upgrade

Featured Replies

Upgraded from 6.8 to 6.82 and then 6.83 on a whim and plex no longer works. No other changes were made, just updated the OS and Docker Containers, cannot connect to the web gui now.

 

Logs and screen shot below, what do I do? Thanks

Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete diagnostics zip file to your NEXT post.

I downgraded back to 6.8 and same problem, so thats where the diagnostics come from.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. I had some old SSDs that I used as cache drives...I don't know what Plex Docker I am using, whatever is usually setup, I haven't done anything custom. I used community applications to install Plex.

Thank you

Because of this bug you cache pool isn't redundant, see instructions there to fix it.

The combination you have there should be OK since they are pairs of the same size, so you have a mirror and your reported total capacity is correct, 120G.

 

But as johnnie mentioned, your mirror wasn't setup correctly, so follow the instructions he linked.

There are at least 3 plex dockers commonly used now and another that was commonly used but shouldn't be used now.

 

Post your docker run command as explained in this very first link from the Docker FAQ (pinned near the top of the Docker Engine subforum):

Thank you both. I read the bug and ran the command...I restarted the Plex docker and it still doesn't work.....Should I just remove my cache pool? I don't really care about it. Is my issue cache pool related?

Thanks

No, it was just at risk, I see no pool related errors.

Thank you, I don't care about migrating or saving the app data. I will remove the old docker and redo with the official from Plex.

  • Author

Plex is now working after the new docker image, thank you so much for the help!

  • 2 years later...

If this is the solution, how did you remove the old docker image to replace it with a new one?

Possibly the user was simply talking about removing one plex container and installing a different one. And maybe that is what you are asking about. In which case, you are both using the word "image" incorrectly in this context.

 

You can click on the icon for each of your containers to get a menu of things to do, including "remove"
