- PLEX MEDIA SERVER WILL NOT LAUNCH SOFTWARE
- PLEX MEDIA SERVER WILL NOT LAUNCH DOWNLOAD
It would be great if we could have a configurable transcode directory in the preferences section of the UI. I have seen my unRAID server fall to it's knees due to Plex using up all available memory for storing it's interim transcode files. The entire unRAID root filesystem resides in RAM, including /tmp. This is fine on standard Linux distributions, but is very bad for unRAID. The current version of Plex for Linux puts temporary transcode files into the /tmp directory. That's it! You should now be able to transcode video from iOS and other devices that require transcoding.
For this reason, you need to download the alsa-lib-1.0.23-i486-1.txz file and place it in /boot/extra The initial build of Plex does not include the ALSA Sound libraries which are required for ffmpeg to work. Replace /mnt/cache/.custom/apps/Plex with the location where you installed Plex Include the following lines in your /boot/config/go file:Įcho "/mnt/cache/.custom/apps/Plex" > /etc/ld.so.conf
We just need to do a little fiddling to get it to work properly. The good thing is that Plex ships with them when you download it from their website. The default unRAID installation (5.0b6) which is required for Plex does not contain the necessary libraries to run this.
Unable to play video from iOS / AppleTV / Roku devicesĭue to the way Plex works with the aforementioned devices, it needs to transcode the video files using a piece of software called "ffmpeg".
Try going to your library and hopefully you will see your Media sections. Tap Save again to save the new server config. If you use any credentials to access your Plex Media Server, enter them now. Enter the IP address of your unRAID Server ( There may be issues with using a short name or NetBIOS name, ie: "tower", if you experience the same issue, use the IP address of your unRAID server). Enter any Friendly name you wish (unRAID, tower, etc.). Turn OFF the Find Nearby Servers option. Your iOS clients (and any other clients) should find the library just fine now.įor iOS client, the following does also work, but often the library will disappear the next time you run Plex: and change it to: if (hostname.endswith('.local.') or hostname.endswith('.local')) and self._ in ('Linux', 'Windows'):. Look for this line: if hostname.endswith('.local.') and self._ in ('Linux', 'Windows'):. Edit Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Versions/2/Python/Framework/components/networking.py. ln -s Framework.bundle (This prevents autoupdates removing our fix). Move Framework.bundle to, and then symlink to it. cd into the ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/ directory. Thanks to a late night debugging session with Elan, we now have a permanent fix, which also works for LG MediaLink and AppleTV clients. Sometimes the library will show up, other times it will not. There seems to be a problem when using the automatic server browser in Plex for iOS in conjunction with Plex Media Server on Linux. Library does not show up in Plex for iOS Devices 9 Known issue: PMS crashes after 4-8 hours. 8 Not all items in your media path are scanned (you will see ascii encoding errors in the scanner log). 7 start.sh script doesn't work when called from outside Plex directory. 6 Transcode DTS to stereo option for LG Media Link does not work on unRAID Plex server. 5 LG Media Client cannot fast forward or rewind video files from Plex unRAID server. 4 Plex shares do not show up on LG MediaClient devices. 3 Need configurable transcode directory. 2 Unable to play video from iOS / AppleTV / Roku devices.
