Hi, I tried every build listed for QNAP and did an install, but all failed saying they were incompatible.

I am doing this because I continue to get the following error message, which I am wondering is if its the reason I can no longer remotely connect to my NAS

I don't know what else to do, and since I cannot contact support directly, I am hoping someone here knows a lot more than I do and can help me resolve this.

I am running a QNAP TS-412
I have also dumped the log file and attached this (which is pretty much foreign to me)

Thanks a lot in advance

Note: This channel plugin has a number of its own plugins and libraries which can take from a few seconds to a couple of minutes to Initialize after Installation or whenever PMS is restarted.

New automation routine for reqkey cookie. Details on how to set them up are discussed below. You only need 1 of them. Thanks to @Twoure for both the methods.

Note: Important Please read

As of v. 0.37 (July-11-2017) the site seems to not use the cookie token anymore, though it still has it in its code. I'm going to leave that in the channel plugin code incase it is back. So now resetting cookie wont dump any token code and also Webhook (hook.io) and Node.Js parts of the code are not being used (Automation methods discussed below) and not required. The session/cf cookie is still used so Reset Cookie can still fix cookie related issues.

Method 1: Installing a JRE (Java Runtime Engine) like Node.js

The preferred automation routine for the cookie requires a JRE installed on the PMS machine. There are a few other JRE's that might work as well but I have only tested this with Node.js. Once installed restart your PMS and confirm in your channel log if possible and see the following entries to confirm..

2017-05-16 19:41:23,578 (209c) :  DEBUG (core:566) - Finished loading plug-in code
2017-05-16 19:41:26,500 (209c) :  INFO (logkit:16) - execjs loaded from v1.1.0
2017-05-16 19:41:26,500 (209c) :  INFO (logkit:16) - execjs using engine: Node.js (V8)

Then navigate to the Reset Cookie and try a video and check if you are still getting the token error.

Method 2: Using a webhook url - please fork the one below and use your own

The other automation method (primarily where JRE cannot be installed) utilizes a website to run a small script to decode (similar to the manual process using jsfiddle). It is limited to 1000 request per month with their free plan so I request everyone to signup for the free account and fork this script https://hook.io/coder-alpha/test/fork and then enter it under the Channel settings/Prefs

Once you have updated the Settings/Prefs with your webhook-url navigate to Reset Cookie and then try a video and check if you are still getting the token error.

Once you have got one of the above methods working you can set your Cache expiry time to 100 (min.). This will fetch new cookies at that interval. I think the session cookie are valid for 2 hrs.

Method 3: Manual method using jsfiddle

Troubleshooting: General

Restarting PMS can work wonders too in fixing issues and shoo away the ghosts of Plex
Some simple troubleshooting steps that might be useful.

Under Options > Clear Cache (can solve issues if a bad or old copy of a webpage is in memory)
Under Options > Reset Cookies (can solve bad/old cookie values that might be in memory)
If using a browser Clear browser cache or you can use the Inspect tool (Chrome) and Disable cache which works great after performing the first 2 options.
Restarting PMS can solve issues with variables in memory, including cache and cookies.

This is only recommended if the plugin never worked (could be due to a faulty install) and if the above does not solve then the following steps are to perform a fresh install. Save your Bookmarks via Options > Tools before doing so. You will lose your Recent Watchlist.

Via WebTool > Unistall & Install
If you dont have WebTools. Use Factory Reset under Options which will clear all stored variables (including Bookmarks, Recent, and other/all settings). Delete the FMoviesPlus.bundle from your Plex plugins folder. Download a new copy and install.

Troubleshooting: Errors

Video Unavailable. Error: Video Token Algo or
Video Unavailable. Error: Unknown error

• When the site's algorithm to serve the video link changes.
  => Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Video Unavailable. Error: Token

• When the session/cloudflare cookie is expired or has issues.
  => Set Base Site URL under the channel settings/prefs to fmovies.is.
  If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Error: The page was not received.

• The site might be slow to respond.
  => Give it a few seconds and try again.
  If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Channel not responding

• This error can occur when using the Plex-Web client for a variety of reasons. The timeout for Plex-web client is set by Plex for 20 seconds which is not enough to make certain requests to websites which might need consecutive requests to retrieve a page/video. If the process is not completed within its timeout then you might see this error. This error can also occur when the site has changed its formatting of the webpage served and the channel plugin code cannot cope up with the changes. This error can also happen due to Plex-web caching an incorrect previous response in the browser cache.
  => Give it a few seconds and try again.
  -- If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. Clear your browser cache and try again.
  
  -- Additionally, you can enable/disable some options under the Channel Prefs/Settings which will reduce unwanted requests being made. Those are No Extra Info. for Nav. Pages (Speeds Up Navigation) - enable it & Use LinkChecker for Videos - disable it.
  
  -- If nothing works then try to visit the site/webpage and confirm it is not being blocked and try the alternate Base Url's under the channel settings/prefs. If issue persists please report on this thread.

I wasn't sure where to post this so I'll start here. I have Plex media server on a speedy Ryzen 5 computer, but the media libraries are on a 1TB 7200rpm HDD, so not the fastest there. I record OTA HD broadcasts using NPVR and stream the raw video (7gb for 1hour shows) via Xbox One.

The issue I sometimes (many times) experience is that when skipping forward through commercials, and especially when skipping backward if I go too far, causes the video playback to pause for upwards of 30s before playback resumes and often the video will lag the audio a bit, or there are brief stutters in playback. If I don't skip at all the video playback is smooth.

I'm guessing this is caused by the slow speed of the HDD? If that is the case, short of replacing the HDD with a SSD, is there anything else I can do to improve playback in this scenario?

Is there a possibility to get a plex client for mac os with the same functionalities as the other mobile flex-versions (e.g. iOS)? It would be great to have the download option on a mac book too.

Hi,

I have a mounted CIFS share on my Plex server which appears to be correctly mounted as RW however when scheduling a DVR recording, it fails with the error 'No write access to destination' and I can't figure out why.

My CIFS share is mounted with the following string in /etc/fstab

echo '//192.168.1.20/Multimedia /mnt/media cifs uid=5000,gid=6000,rw,credentials=/root/smb-credentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

If i su to the plex user, I can browse to the share and have full RW access to the share and its folders. The underlying network share is on a QNAP NAS and the share has RW access for the user credentials supplied.

Any ideas would be appreciated?

Thanks

I am not able to stream 4k MKV files from my Synology DS1517+ NAS to my Sony XBR-75Z9D 4k tv and I do not know at what point in the chain the issues lies and was hoping you could help me figure it out.

My hardware connections are:
NAS (holds all media files) - Wired to LAN via Gb Switch
Win10 PC (Intel i7-7567U) (Running Plex Server) - Wired to LAN via Gb Switch
Amazon FireTV (box not stick) (Running Plex client) - Wired to LAN via Gb Switch - Connected via HDMI to....
Denon AVR-X4400H AV Receiver - Connected via HDMI to.... Sony XBR-75Z9D 4k TV

When I try to watch 4k MKV movies with H265 codec they all try to transcode and I get a message saying server isn't powerful enough.
I have read about editing profiles to allow DirectPlay/Direct Stream but I am not sure which 'device' I need to create a profile for.
Is this even possible?

I could possibly run the plex server on the Synology NAS and install the Plex client on the TV. Would that work better ?

Please can you point me at the correct information source.

Thanks
Andy

Hi,
I've installed a PLEX server on a linux VPS in the cloud. I can stream video just fine, the server is able to transcode 4K and serve material in real time. However, uploading videos to the server is painfully slow. I use WinSCP and even if i have 100 Mbps bandwidth on Server and Client side (I tested both sides) WinSCP only manages to transfer 350 KB/s (~3 Mbps).

I guess scp can be throttled by CPU, but I didn't expect it to be so drastic.

Is this to be expected? How do you guys upload your content to your servers?

Thanks

So I have a large library already setup within Plex. I spent weeks getting this done. I then bought a lifetime sub for Plex. However, have just noticed when I went to add a new library today that there is the below option.

I thought this was automatic after buying the lifetime subscription. Anyway, I thought I will go turn this option on for the previous configured Library. There is no option for this, it only appears when adding new.

So for a test, I added a new thinking all the previous data would just be copied and it would update only what is missing. Nope... It treated the same content as before as completely new and will require me to go through so much music to sort it all.

Is there a way to turn on "Create a premium Plex Library" on an already created directory?

Thanks

I want to download some music to my laptop from my media PC. I am on my home network and Plex/Web allows me to download TV episodes and movies but not music. Is there something I'm missing?  

Is there a way that I can switch from the Plex plug-in I am using on my FreeNAS server to a manual jail install without losing my Plex library ?

I have been using the plug-in forever and recently completely wiped the system and rebuilt my Plex library to install FreeNAS 9.10.

Everything seems OK but the updates are a bit lacklustre especially as I've got a "Shiny" PlexPass.

Currently running

FreeNAS-9.10.1 (d989edd)
Plex Plugin 1.0.3.2461

Thanks in advance

I recently got hacked and when I got my account back, the friend list was empty. I tried sending invite again but I got a message that the user was already in my friend list, and they do still have access.

I'm affraid the hacker could have added some other people I can't see (my upload is increadibly high since then). Is there a way fix this bug, or reset the friend list?

Using PLEX for years on Mac. I also have a Windows 7 PC - with an Aver Media TV card installed (live TV via Windows Media Center). Will PLEX Live TV etc work with that?

Just got an email about the new privacy policy. https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-policy-update-notice/

"In order to understand the usage across the Plex ecosystem and how we need to improve, Plex will continue to collect usage statistics, such as device type, duration, bit rate, media format, resolution, and media type (music, photos, videos, etc.). We will no longer allow the option to opt out of this statistics collection."

This is **** bullshit. You are not entitled to that information. You may want it, but you do not get to make the decision for me. Stop making the world a worse place. The privacy of your users comes before your desire for metrics. It doesn't matter if you don't think the information is sensitive, the user is the one to decide.

It's super-duper bullshit that the change is forced upon lifetime Plex Pass customers.

Stop being shitheads. Listen to your users. Changes like this should be discussed prior to implementation.

so, had scripts running scanning through folders with cli...

did an impromptu upgrade to 1.9.2.4285 this afternoon...

exact same script is not even returning a single character in response....

@ChuckPA WTF??

iMac 24gb Ram
Sierra 10.12.6
Plex Version 1.9.2.4285

So I never had issues with Plex server like this in the past. Normally it was standard file size or wifi issues, but last night I went to watch a relatively small mp4 streamed to a Roku 3. After about 10 minutes it froze, went to 13% stalled, up to 65% but never continued playback. I went downstairs to turn off the server and it wouldn't open and I got a beachball. Went into Activity Monitor and it said "Not Responding" so I forced quit. Started the app back up but as soon as I tried to click the mac menu icon to open Plex I got the beachball again, so once again I forced it to quit. Restarted my computer just to see if that would help. It seemed to so I went back upstairs to finish the movie. Not even 5 minutes it did the same thing.

I went to get the crash logs but there wasn't anything so I figured I must have started the app and Plex erased the logs like it states in the KB page, so I just started the app went upstairs to play something and it wouldn't load a single file. I also tried on my nVidia Shield, same thing. Still, went to get crash logs and there is a folder generated but there are NO LOGS INSIDE!!!! WTH, I have logging turned on in the server settings so im really confused here. Adding to the confusion is the warning I found inside of Console stating it > Detected potentially harmful notification post rate of 2415.75 notifications per second

I dont have a clue whats going on and worse, I dont know why im not getting any logs to help figure it out! Please help PLex Masters as all my entertainment for the whole family revolves mostly around Plex :-(

I have everything installed. I'm behind a VPN and nothing will play. It will show the movies. But when I click on them every app I downloaded will not play. I have a virus protection on. Do I need to turn that off or what? I am really lost here.

Hi All,
I have seen this question multiple times on the forum, but i cant get it to work. It just wont adopt the new server.

1. I have added Plex app to Synology and opened the ip:32400
2. i have logged into my account
3. the setup isnt showing and it just opens the old plex server web interface
4. i have changed the ip of the old server but that doesnt work aswell.

Is there anything else i can do?

I have been getting errors with channel streams on clients not on the local network. It is an IPTV channel.

For example, I could have my android phone with latest Plex app on my local wifi network and stream a live channel feed just fine. Then I could shut off the wifi so it goes to mobile data aka remote client viewing and I keep getting this error. But it is only on channel live streaming, watching movies and shows work fine. I have tried changing the "Internet upload speed" to 0 or clearing the field on the "Server > Remote Access" page, I have tried checking and unchecking "Direct Play/Direct Stream" and other boxes on the "Web > Player" page. No dice. I have tried changing the remote stream qualities both on the "Server" and the actual clients to "Original" and still didn't fix it.

Any help is appreciated.

Plex Media Server log attached.

I have a Shield Pro with a HD Homerun connect. Whilst watching a recorded program the Shield hangs occasionally. It is not a signal problem as I can rewind and play the program again and it doesn't hang in the same place.

It is almost like a background process is causing this or the shield is having an issue with transcoding the live broadcast. I am currently watching an SD broadcast and the audio is being transcoded.

I can't set the server to transcode whilst the program is being recorded because the it never finishes at 100% and leaves the tuner open.

Any advice?

Thanks

I purchased the android app from Amazon and its been working great up until recently. The app as completed stop working and ask me to activate and wants me to purchase the app again before I can use. I logged into my Amazon account and confirmed that it was paid for in 2015 so why can I use the app now. Amazon has been no help and said that I needed to contact Plex for support. Please advise how I should proceed in getting a working copy of the app.
