Added Libraries, but no Media

Hello,

I have Plex installed on Windows Server 2016. I added a Movies Library and TV Shows Library pointed at their respective folders. But no media is popping up when I 'Scan For Library Files'.

I have Emby installed on the same server and it is picking up the same directories in the server.

Anyone have any ideas?

Barre de défilement dans les bibliothèques

Bonjour,

J'ai créé plusieurs bibliothèques comme "action, suspenses, drame etc..."

Sur chaque bibliothèque, j'ai complètement à droite une barre de défilement alphabétique pour simplifié la recherche de film.

Ce que je ne comprend pas, est que cette barre est présente sur tous mes bibliothèques sauf sur la bibliothèque "Suspense"

Pourtant il y a quelques 200 films, sur les autres bibliothèques il y a moins de films et elle y est…

Merci de votre aide

No Media when Library added

I have Emby and Plex installed on Windows Server 2016. I added a Movies Library and TV Shows Library coming from their own designated folders. When I hit 'Scan For Library Files', nothing comes up.

Emby using the same folders pulls up both Movies and TV Shows from their respective folders.

Any ideas?

How to set up Plex to work with PIA VPN?

Hi,

I am really struggling to find a solution to get this to work, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I want to to be able to remotely use Plex, which is based on my Mac without having to turn my VPN off. Plex says the server is remotely accessible but it isn't.

I am using:
Mac - El Capitan
Apple Airport Extreme router
PIA VPN

Is this possible? If so, I could really do with an ELI5 solution.

Help reinstalling server on new hdd

$

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue trying to reinstall my plex server on a new windows installation. I tried the Plex support page and also searched in forum but I was not able to fix it, so I'm asking for your help.

My HDD died a month ago and I lost my Windows Installation, so I needed to purchase a new hdd and reinstall everything. The "good" news is that I was able to recover the data on my hdd (not able to recover the Windows installation), and (most important) I have the metadata folder on a different hdd, so, I should be able to recover my Plex Server with no issues (I thought).

So I have:

  • New Windows 10 installation
  • Data recovered from Old HDD:
    ** A folder called "Plex" that was located on Users/Danilo/AppData/Local
    ** A folder called "Plex Media Server" that was located on Users/Danilo/AppData/Local
    ** A folder called "Plex" that was located on C:/Program Files/
  • Second HDD (I:) with a SERVER/SERVER folder (142gb) with all the metadata (7000+ movies, 150+ Tv Shows, 200+ Concerts, etc).

I tried:

  • Installing Plex from scratch, login with my account, changing metadata folder to I:/SERVER/SERVER, restarting server - Failed, it configured a new server with no libraries.
  • Installing Plex from scratch, adding LocalAppDataPath = I:/SERVER/SERVER on HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Plex, Inc./Plex Media Server, started server, login with my account. - Failed, it configured a new server with no libraries.

Notes:

  • I backed up the I:/SERVER/SERVER data BEFORE doing any step, so it is not overwritten when changing metadata folder on Plex.
  • I wasn't able to recover the registry information from the died HDD. I guess I'm still able to do it, but don't know how.

NVidia Shield: SRT subtitles causing "burn subtitles" to activate when audio is also transcoded

$

Hi all,

I'd just written a lengthy post wondering why some media was transcoding instead of direct-streaming when there seemed to be no good reason why it should - when I realized that in my Tautulli logs it noted that the subtitles were being burned (despite being .srt subs, not an image format.)

"But that can't be," I thought to myself, "because some of my media direct plays just fine, and I always have subtitles enabled!" After some more digging through logs, I realized that this is only happening on media that has EAC3 audio streams, which incurs an audio transcode (since my sound bar is connected via optical audio, which doesn't support EAC3.) When it's AC3? Plays fine. DCA? Plays fine.

This seems like a bug! Are others experiencing the same? Can we expect a fix?

Thanks much!

Plex app on IOS won't show Media Player on my laptop

Hello,
is anyone having the same issue? I can't use my laptop as a player anymore. The laptop is plugged with a VGA cable to my television and Media Player is installed on it (latest version). My iPad is not showing Media Player when I'm on the Plex App. However Firefox on my computer does. Is there a bug or a setting to change? I'm using Plex Server on a Synology and it's up to date.
Thanks for your explanation

SOLUTION: Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error.

My PMS is running on Windows 7x64

I started getting this error Yesterday 4.30.2018 on my Phone while using plex for some videos but not all. Took me about 30 minutes to figure this out.

Thought = what's changed in the last few days?
Answer = Auto Update of PMS to 1.13.0.5003-8fcb5b6e5 on 04.27.2018.
Solution = Rollback PMS → Clear Cache of Apps = Good to go!

What I did to trouble shoot:

  • Checked that files are complete with no issues scrubbing through source files
  • Checked I had latest update
  • tested files I was able to play without issue last week (same error)
  • Tried updating apps on both tablet & phone (same error)
  • Searched forums & did the whole [stop server → delete 4 *.gdb files → restart server = (same error)
  • Cleared cache & data (same error)

What worked for me: emphasis on the "for me" part

  1. Go into server setting disable auto update & set to manual/ask
  2. Uninstall [ PMS 1.13.0.5003-8fcb5b6e5 April 27, 2018 ] (Leave settings and files)
  3. Download & Install last release that seemed to work [ Plex-Media-Server-1.12.3.4973-215c28d86 ]
  4. All working fine again including newly added files that initially threw the error and all old files that previously worked are now working again.

Hope this help you guys!

[REL] YouTube Metadata Agent

$
0
0

This is a Metadata Agent for downloaded YouTube videos. It works by looking up metadata on YouTube using the YouTube video id. It is important to have this id in the filename, otherwise this agent can't do the lookup. You can change the way the id is found in your filenames (through the Agent's preferences). This value is a regular expression and requires 1 named group called id.

The default value is: \[(?P<id>.{11})\]

This will find the YouTube id in names, like for example:
Person Of Interest Soundtrack - John Reese Themes (Compilation) [OR5EnqdnwK0].mp4

Getting original quality streaming - 1080i

$

I could use a little guidance on how to get PMS to stream original quality full 1080p content without buffering. What I'm doing is recording OTA HD TV broadcasts and streaming to an Xbox One via gigabit ethernet connections.
My equipment:
AMD Ryzen 5 3.0GHZ PC with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
HDHomerun
Linksys Gigabit router
Xbox One

The videos are recorded by NPVR as uncompressed .ts files. When I try to stream at original quality the stream buffers. I need to set the quality to the highest 720p for smooth playback, and even then when skipping through commercials it takes a while to buffer.

It seems to me that with my equipment and direct ethernet connections I ought to be able to stream full 1080p content without any trouble.

If someone has any suggestions or point me to some reading on the subject I would appreciate it.

[fedora 25]: Moving PMS from Mac OS to Fedora - not working so far

$

Hello all,

Hopefully someone out there can help. I was able to get a strong HP rack mounted server to replace my underpowered mac mini. The mac mini was working well but doesn't have the horsepower that the hp unit does (more, faster cpus & ram) and soon I'm looking to add my music collection to plex which, from what i've read, will require the extra power.

Anyway I initially tried to simply connect to my newly installed fedora server using local.ip.address:32400/web but after i logged in to plex/tv (i have plex pass) it seemingly swapped to my mac mini. Not sure exactly what was happening but there were a few threads talking about problems trying to access their PMS locally. I was expecting to see a blank slate.

At this point i shutdown the mac mini and rebooted the hp after first changing it's static ip address to that of the mac mini (i have nat/port forwarding set up to allow remote access and so keep the ip address static). I was still unable to connect.
When trying to connect directly i get 'the connection has timed out'.
If i try to connect via plex/tv i get the error "The server is unavailable"

I tried this once more after copying the mac mini database (com.plexapp.plugins.library.db) to the hp/fedora machine,
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/ thinking that there may have been data there that would allow the connection but no change. (My media is on a NAS device which has the same CIFS mount location on both the mac and hp boxes so getting to my movies should be seamless).

It's quite possible my approach is flawed but it seemed logical. Any thoughts from those that may have done this before?

-jjd

  1. The PMS version on the mac is up to date.
  2. The PMS version on the HP is from Nov 2017.

Are there any USB Tuners that work in the US with the Synology DS-218+?

Plex says that they don't support any USB HD Tuners in the US.

But has anyone got any to work? I'm not above hacking if needed.

I'm trying to fully containerise my setup but none of the Tautilli images seem to be either available for some reason. They all seem to be based off one common one which has been possibly made private/removed?

Pulling tautilli (tautilli/tautilli:)...

It's not just me is it? Anyone know what's up?
