urbanracer34 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I just updated plex from your repository and something messed up with docker and now I have an orphan image. I didn't have the docker patch installed but I do now. How can I restore my data? I put in a lot of work into my Plex setup and I don't want it to be forever lost. Quote Link to comment

Read the first post in the Docker Patch support thread - should get you back up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's a normal behavior - i have this with my IPFire router since years 👍 This does not affect accessibility from outside. Edited February 26 by Zonediver Quote Link to comment

So I have an add container open for the Plex Docker: This is what I have set up currently. I have not committed yet. Are you saying I just leave all the parameters alone (erase everything I have put in above) and create the docker? Or is what I have set up above required to restore my data? Quote Link to comment

Could this be related to the empty fields in the Plex Docker config improperly being populated as ":" or something and causing the Docker to fail to create. I remember seeing something like that earlier in this thread and I think the solution was to either "Remove" the empty variables you aren't using, or just put in some dummy paths in there. Luckily form the Docker Tab and click "Add Container" at the bottom, you should have a drop-down list of your previously configured Dockers so you can re-select the Plex one and make changes as required.

squirrellydw Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 So the other day the Plex docker got updated and it deleted itself. I reinstalled it and now I can see all my media but nothing is playing, it says unavailable. Any idea?? I also installed the docker patch plugin 1 Quote Link to comment
Potter86 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think the latest update killed everything. I am having the same issue currently. I updated last night and went to watch a show to only see nothing there. Plex is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment

wgstarks Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Mine seems to work just fine after the latest update. Everyone does need to delete empty paths with the current version of unRAID though. Quote Link to comment

I know it's standard practice for some, but I'm reluctant to delete empty paths, just in case I need them in the future. My update went OK too, although for a while yesterday my libraries were showing as unavailable. Came back after about 15 minutes though. Quote Link to comment

Same, after the recent Plex Update, I went to watch a show and the episode said "Unavailable" when I first tried to watch it. I just restarted the Plex docker instance and everything worked fine. Must have been some weird bug on first launch after the update not properly setting up the volume maps or something. Quote Link to comment
squirrellydw Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It's working again after I rebooted the server and another Plex update showed up. Quote Link to comment
irckenny Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Hello guys, Im new at UnRaid and at Plex Server and not spoken english person, so please forgive my noob questions: today plex server linuxserver.io V 4.123.2 notified a new update available, like in past i fly to setting / general to make the update, but this time "the update button" is gone and in is place was a "manual update is needed" link. Clicking on it i have this screen but i dont know how to do for going through the manual update. Can someone point the right steps to execute for updating my plex docker? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

steve1977 Posted Wednesday at 12:16 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:16 AM Since last week's update, Plex stopped working. When checking the logs, I see the following error message. Running for several days though, so I doubt it is actually migrating anything. Any thoughts? <Response code="503" title="Maintenance" status="Plex Media Server is currently running database migration."/> Quote Link to comment
Shadowmists Posted Wednesday at 01:31 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:31 AM Good afternoon, I working on moving from a windows computer running plex over to unraid with plex. I have a few video files that work with no issues on the windows computer, however they just sit on buffering on the Plex app under Unraid. the video files are KMV. Both devices are not running Video cards, I had a video card in the computer to see if it would make a different under plex after going though the Nvidia settings and that did not make a difference. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment

dubbly Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Hello, I seem to be among those that upgraded to 6.12.8 (from 6.11) and afterward the Plex docker dissapeared. I reinstalled and it now indicates that my media is unavailable. I have tried the following with no success: 1. Installed Docker Patch 6.12.8, uninstalled and reinstalled plex. 2. Checked the plex database following video from spaceinvaderone, it says its ok 3. Tried clicking rescan in plex 4. Had a look in the logs but frankly I am not sure what I am looking for. Happy to upload any additional information. Thank you in advance. Edited 5 hours ago by dubbly Quote Link to comment
