Gragorg Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Anyone running Plex (*.txz) that you download direct from www.plex.tv with Unraid 6.3? I can't seem to get it to work so I rolled back 6.2.4. Quote Link to comment

Gragorg Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have never had an issue prior to this with plex.tv version. I guess I'm just wondering if it is still supports 6.3. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I have never had an issue prior to this with plex.tv version. I guess I'm just wondering if it is still supports 6.3. Plex themselves probably no longer support their .txz install. They now have an unRaid specific (and official) docker template available within CA. Quote Link to comment
Gragorg Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ok thanks Squid. Can I still get my Plex Pass version? Is there any setting I have to set to get the plex pass version is this the privileged option? I assume I just have to erase the old Plexmediaserver folder on my flash and erase the *.txz file in the EXTRA directory and reboot and install the new Plex Plugin. Quote Link to comment

You should start by installing a plugin, though. Community Applications plugin. You can access the official plex docker from there, along with links to its documentation. Personally I'm still using the linuxserver.io docker, which you can also get the same way. You will need to learn how to setup dockers, mostly how to map volumes. See the Docker FAQ sticky in the Docker Engine subforum. Quote Link to comment
TUMS Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If you install the needo plex docker it automatically works with plex pass. That's what i'm running.... Quote Link to comment

Is there a way to switch and have it still recognize my needo created plex library or do I have to delete everything? edit...nevermind, I found it http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg445818#msg445818 Quote Link to comment

Probably nothing wrong with Needo's code. The thing is that if/when any one ever has a problem with Plex and they are running the container from Needo, the first troubleshooting suggestion is to switch to linuxserver or binhex, as those two still actively support their containers whereas everything from Needo is basically without any author/maintainer support at all Quote Link to comment

I'll probably leave it alone for now. I've had no problems with it. Quote Link to comment
fersal Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I also have Needo's Plex docker container running on 6.2.4. My appdata folder is on a 240 GB Samsung SSD, and it's been working without any issues so far. If for some reason I want to switch to the Plex official docker, is it possible to do so without losing the Plex DB in appdata? If so, what would be the recommended procedure? Quote Link to comment

fersal Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 To rephrase my question above, what would be the procedure to migrate from Needo's (no longer supported) Plex docker container to a current one? Can I do it while preserving my existing appdata DB? Which container do you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment

I switched from needo to linuxserver.io plex quite a while ago and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment
fersal Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks trurl, but I've never done this so I'd appreciate a bit more detailed instructions, or a link? I'm afraid of screwing this up, thanks! Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 You might want to backup your plex appdata folder in case of a problem. Edit the container and just change the repository from needo/plex to linuxserver/plex. 1 Quote Link to comment
