Database issues on a Plex Server running on a QNAP NAS.

I recently updated my Plex server. After the update, I keep getting the following error on the Plex homepage "There was an unexpected error loading the dashboard". When I go into the libraries everything looks ok (movies are shown with covers) until I click on a movie. When I click on a movie I get the following error "There was an unexpected error loading this item". This error is shown for all movies. I have tried several restarts of both Plex and the QNAP server.

I believe this is a database issue. I looked at my settings and the "backup database every 3 days is selected". I looked for the folder listed and it looks like I have 4 backup files but they are all roughly a year old. Not sure why this is the case.

I then looked into checking and repairing the database and it looks fairly complicated and requires the use of sqllite3 (which I have never used before).

I would like some help repairing my database or restoring it if possible. Then maybe getting the database backup issue corrected.

I have searched high and low and nothing explains this error.

shaka1001 (Network)

This was during playback of a television show from a Plex Cloud server (Version 1.5.2.246) using the Plex Web App (Version 3.17.3) on a Windows 10 machine in Chrome (Version 59.0.3071.115)

Any explanation as to what this error translates to?

PlexPy - Another Plex Monitoring Program

Introduction

Greetings all!

What started out as me trying to learn Python ended up being a quite useful app, so I thought I'd share what I've got so far.

This initially started out basically as a direct port of PlexWatchWeb from PHP to Python so it would be easier for most people to get running. I however am never satisfied so after much tinkering and tweaking I started slowly adding and fixing things that I thought needed attention.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about then that's fine too, if you came here to just find a tool to easily monitor and receive notify playback events from Plex you're at the right place.

A picture says a thousand words, so here's a few screenshots highlighting some of PlexPy's current functionality.


Home page with activity pane of current active streams, some quick stats and recently added items.



History tables of watched media items, fully searchable and column toggles (I've just blocked out the sensitive info in the screenshot):



Graphs for various analytics:



Various notification options and and customisable settings:


And a bunch more...

Can someone help me debug plex going back to main page for program? Nvidia Shield

I am having an issue with Plex on my Nvidia Shield 16gb. It seems to freeze fairly regularly, display "Weak Signal" and return to the main page for the program that I was watching. If I use the HDHomerun app I do not see any of these issues. Any help is appreciated. Or do I just purchase the Shield Pro version assuming that would fix the issue.

How to Debug the reason Plex Media Server seems "Stuck" on startup on cent 7 64 bit?

Hi all.

Running cent 7 64bit in a vm and had a crash that caused some filesystem corruption on my application support folder. fsck repaired it, and the only files lost were 3 log files from the Logs dir.

Now, systemctl thinks that plex is running, but it is not in theory.

The process is indeed running: plex 982 0.2 0.3 337256 30972 ? Ssl 12:24 0:00 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
but it does not seem to be doing anything. It does not update any logs in the application support directory, nor is it generating anything to journalctl or systemd.

This is a little frustrating as something is clearly wrong. If I try running plex media server manually with the proper environment vars exported, it just hangs. Is there a way to pass it into verbose mode or debug mode or something ?

The above process is the only plex process that starts instead of the usual group of them, and no logs are updated.

"Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video. Check your Network."

"Your connection to the server is not fast enough to stream this video. Check your Network." I keep getting that message after plex buffers the first time. It buffers probably every 10 minutes or so, and sometimes will not stop buffering. My internet is 100mbps, so it is not my connection. I do not have this problem on iOS, so this is an Plex Apple TV issue. I am running the latest version of plex on Apple TV and the latest plex media server on my mac.

Constantly loosing External Remote Access to Plex Media Server

I have been using the Remote access for the past few years and never had this problem from outside my network. Recently a few times a day my server disconnects from the outside network and i have to just go in and disable my remote access then re-enable it and everything works. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix this. I haven't had to make any changes on my Verizon firewall so i dont believe it is that. I believe something with the server is getting disabled or having a problem. I am on version 1.10.1.4602

Plex Media Player packages for Linux

Hello Plex users!

Because there is no official packages of Plex Media Player for Linux desktop I have decided to create one.

Instead of building multiple packages for all different packaging systems (DEB, RPM, Snap, Flatpack) and even different distribution releases (separate DEB for Ubuntu Trusty, separate DEB for Ubuntu Xenial,...) I wanted to make things as simple as possible for us Linux users. So I've used an AppImage format for this.

AppImage is universal package format that runs on any modern Linux distribution. No need to install anything (all dependencies are in the image). No root permissions needed. Just download the file and run it like on Windows or macOS.
You can read more about it on the project website http://appimage.org/.

Plex Media Player packages are available to download on my homepage: https://knapsu.eu/plex/

Packages will run on any Linux that has glibc 2.23 (not older than 2016). Tested it on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 16.10, Fedora 25, openSUSE 42.2. I am working on making it support older distributions.

On the page you will find official release builds and daily builds. Release builds are for everyone. Daily builds are for anyone who wants to check latest bleeding edge changes in the application.

Technical details (for anyone interested):

Packages are build from official source code available on GitHub https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player.
To automate build process I've created a separate GitHub repository https://github.com/knapsu/plex-media-player-appimage that contains all scripts and files used to make Continuous Delivery pipeline.
Travis CI is used for building the actual packages which then are uploaded to my website.

I used Docker to create common build environment (makes builds reproducible) and to speedup Travis builds as there is no need to install development tools and libraries on the build machine.

I hope that someone will find my work useful.

Please inform me if you encounter any issues.

Take care,
Knapsu

Plex LiveTV&DVR - Senderliste für DVB-C Hamburg-Südholstein

Hallo...

nachdem ich mich nun mehrere Wochen geärgert habe, das nicht alle Sender über PLEX verfügbar waren, habe ich nun endlich eine eigene Kanalliste für das DVB-C Netz Hamburg-Südholstein ersteltt..

zu finden sind die Listen unter
C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources\Tuner\Shared\scanners\dvbc\transponders

Dort habe ich einfach ne neue .ini Datei erstellt. Bei mir lautet diese 5298.ini (siehe Anhang)

Der Aufbau der Datei ist recht simpel:

[SATTYPE]
1=5298                                                                                           
2=DVB-C Germany (Vodafone Hamburg SuedHolstein)
3=DE

[DVB]
0=25
1=114000,V,6900,,QAM256
2=122000,V,6900,,QAM64

2= Name des Netzes
3= Länderkennung

[DVB]
0= Anzahl der Bänder/Einträge
1= Frequenz , V , KSym/s , , Band
... usw...

Das ist das, was ich herausgefunden habe...

Bei Vodafone Kabel gibt es schöne und umfangreiche Kanalbelegungslisten, jeder kann somit für seine Region ne eigene .ini erstellen.

Hoffe, ich konnte den einen oder anderen damit helfen.

2.009: Always transcoding with local server until *any* setting is changed

January 5, 2018, 1:06 am

Hi,

Since I updated to 2.009, Plex will transcode every file, even the most basic ones (720p, mp3 stereo, no subtitles). Before the update, these files would have been direct played. As soon as I go to the settings, and change any setting (no matter what), I get the correct behavior (transcoding only if necessary). I have to do this each time I use the app, i.e., I start the app, and have to go to the settings, otherwise it would always transcode.

I have to mention though that I'm using a very old version of PMS, because my old Mac Mini cannot run newer versions.

TV: F-Series
Plex app: 2.009
PMS: 0.9.16.6

Cheers,
Martin

PS: Thanks for the great app! :)

With the latest update of Plex for iOS (4.23.1), I can watch 4K HDR videos cleanly on an iPhone X. The same videos look washed out and lifeless using any browser in a 5K 27" iMac. Any ideas on making that work?

So I am wanting to buy a server from the Plex approved compatibility list. The QNAP TVS-1282 with an i7, 32 Gb, and a 450w power supply. I contacted QNAP to ask a few questions about adding a video card and what benefits I would see, but he seemed to think that Plex won't even run on it. Any advice on this and what benefits would I see if any adding a card, and what card would be best?

AC3 5.1 sound not working on Fire TV 3rd Gen

January 12, 2018, 10:16 am

I have a 3rd generation Amazon Fire TV, and I'm unable to get AC3 5.1 output from the Plex app. All local files and Live TV streams encoded to AC3 5.1 are sent as 2-channel audio to my Yamaha receiver. On the Fire TV itself, I have enabled Dolby Digital over HDMI. Other apps like Netflix properly output AC3 5.1, so the problem seems to be isolated to the Plex app.

Is this a bug with the Plex app? Are there any workarounds to get the Plex app to output AC3 5.1?

This is a major issue for me, since I use the Fire TV for Live TV streaming, which is only broadcast in AC3 5.1.

FireTV, Plex server, and Plex app firmware up up to date as of 1/12/2018.

Enable Remote Acces not working - clear instructions needed

Hi all,

I have read many threads on this issue but as a non-technical person, I’m completely lost. Port forwarding, virtual port, acronyms I have no clue...lol. I have been using Plex for years without touching any settings but noticed after a recent upgrade that I was getting remote access errors and it won’t enable. I travel a lot so I rely on accessing on my devices remotely all over the world really which I haven’t had any problems until now.

Is there a straightforward instruction set on what settings to change on the router (I understand each router is different, so I get that’s probably why there is no single how-to-guide). I don’t know what all these acronyms mean or where to look once I log into the router management portal. I’m afraid of touching anything for fear my internet won’t work. My fibre connection is wired into the computer running the Plex Server if that makes a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tracy
