Request: Playlist import from .m3u files (all NAS users require this)

$
0
0

The current playlist feature does not work for those of us who host Plex on our NAS devices.  What we need is an ability to import from .m3u playlist files on the Plex server.  This way we can export a playlist file from a desktop machine that is using iTunes, edit the file directly to change the path of the MP3 files from local drive letter mappings with absolute paths to the relative path on the NAS where the music files are located and then import that playlist into Plex on the NAS.

 

Can we get this feature on the request list.  It shouldn't be hard to add.


Playing low bitrate SD video but NAS sends huge amount of excessive data?

$

Hi,

I have a DS415+ with Plex installed. I have seen that when I play one of the few (kids) movies in SD (1800kbps) my NAS is outputting between 50'000-80'000kbps (5-8MB/s).

I know it's the Plex server that is sending the traffic because if I stop the server the transfer rates plummets to 0.
I've seen this before but never investigated it until today. No other streams are active.

The client is a Samsung UE65HU7500.
I haven't tried any other clients.

Any ideas where to look for issues?

Plex & Odroid XU4

Hi everybody !

I've just received my Odroid XU4 and tried to install pas on it with the repo dev2day.
But I think I've some issues with running it ...

When I boot the droid, I type this command : 'service plexmediaserver status' and this is the result:

plexmediaserver.service - LSB: Plex Media Server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver)
   **Active: active (exited)** since Tue 2016-02-23 20:08:11 UTC; 20h ago

Feb 23 20:08:11 Exasky systemd[1]: Started LSB: Plex Media Server.
Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

And if I type service plexmediaserver restart, I've the same message.

I found a workaround by launching the script '/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver' with 'start' as argument. With that, the server is launch and I can access to the web interface.
In this case, if I execute the command 'ps -edf | grep -i flex' I can see the Plex processes. But the result of the command 'service plexmediaserver status' hasn't changed.

My question is: How can I get the command 'service plexmediaserver start' working correctly?

Thank you in advance, and sorry for the long post :)

Odroid XU4 & H265

Hi !!

I'm playing with the settings of flex media server, and I wondered if the Odroid xu4 can transcode the H265.
I saw some tutorials the show how to modify the 'main.js' file, and I did them but it was unsuccessful.

Have someone here tried to decode a H265 file through with plex?

Thank in advance !

Updating Plex changes shares permissions

Every time I update Plex to the latest version (plex pass) It kicks all of the other users off of my shared plex folder so that they can't access it. This is becoming increasingly more annoying. Can it be changed so that when Plex is installed it doesn't modify existing permissions?

Hello everyone,
I am running the latest PMS Version 0.9.15.6 for Synology Intel on a HP ProLiant Gen8 with DSM 5.2 on it.
I have a lot of Network Errors in my logfile and I think it has something to do with the firewall setting.
Can someone point me in the right direction which are the best settings for DSM to correct this?

Synology 2415+ Transcoding Ability

$
0
0

Hi all,

Currently running my Plex through a huge 24Bay 4U Server and although it's cracking for doing things like multiple transcodes to different sources and holding a lot of data, it's also hugely noisy and needs to sit out in the garage...

Looking on bringing everything inside so I wanted to ask whether anyone with a 2415+ has any issues transcoding 1080p content. Does it stutter? Can it even handle it? How many streams can it handle? Is it noisy? That kind of thing.

If anyone who has one could let me know how they are getting on with it, such as any issues etc. it would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks and kind regards

Is the DS216+ supported by Plex ?

looks to be a step up from the DS214play I was considering in terms of 4K and better than the DS216play as the DS216+ has hardware transcoding too !

Help installing PlexPy

Hi,

I've been asking around for help with installing PlexPy. I tried to use docker, but I could not get the settings to save properly on a reboot of NAS. I tried to install via PlexPys Linux instructions but on a reboot I can no longer find the /opt/PlexPy directory.

Would like some step by step help.

Remote Access Not working. Please Help! Previously worked & all tutorials/previous threads read

$

Hi. I have been using Plex Server on my Sinology DSM with remote access for about a year. Last weekend I updated the plex server and since then remote access has not been working. I am told the service is not available outside my network. Plex works fine within my LAN. Just not accessible from remote.

My setup
BT Homehub
Synology DS212+
Plex Server

I have ensure the 32400 port is forwarded on the BT Home Hub (see screen shot)
I have ensured all the Plex Server ports are enabled on the Sinology firewall (see screen shot)
I have ensured the Synology NAS is aware of the 32400 port in the Router Configuration Menu within External Access on control panel (see screen shot).

On the Plex software. I am logged in using my Plex pass. I have claimed the server locally.

I have restarted everything after modifying the settings.

I have checked to see if I can check or uncheck MTU/Jumbo. This isn't an option for me as I don't have gigabit ethernet. But when I briefly see the option in a sinology menu it is unchecked.

Please help! I am lost with what to do now!

What is strange is that this has been working fine for 1 year with the exact same setup as I have now!
Thanks
Dan


Music Not Tagging While Being Added

$

I have a Synology DS214play that I have installed Plex on. After I setup the Plex Server Settings on it and add a music library to it, it doesn't tag the music information like its suppose to. It looks like it does as its adding it but when its all done all of the artwork is gone. I then check the properties of one of the albums and the tags are are not there nor is the poster image or the background image or the reviews or anything. I am not sure why this is not working? I have installed it on my windows pc to test it and everything tags fine there, its not tagging it on the NAS. Is there possible a permissions issue or something else I need to setup on it?


New router, new subnet, plex 'Server settings are unavailable.' from new local IP

as the title says... what's going on? I don't understand how I don't have server settings if accessing the server from the local IP.... I really don't want to uninstall and lose all my data. Any suggestions?

every other synology application works fine after the new subnet (sonarr, couchpotato, nzbget, ect).

edit: just to clarify; all devices are on the same subnet, and there is only 1 subnet.... it's just a different subnet than the old router.

Plex sync stuck on waiting to upload

So I have a small video file that I wanted to upload to my cloud sync. My account is authorized and linked to dropbox which has more than enough space. The conversion process seems to went well as there were no errors displayed in the sync tab under the activity page on the webclient. However, now its just stuck with a cloud icon saying "waiting to be uploaded". Anyone else experience those issues? Any fix?

Synology, iTunes Server, and Plex Media Server

$
0
0

I've been searching and reading on the forums and Google but either I'm too stupid to understand what's been written or my question hasn't been definitively answered (and I'm willing to concede that the former is the more likely scenario).

 

I've got a Synology DS412+ running DSM 5.1-5004. I've installed the iTunes Server package (1.3-2361) and the Plex Media Server (v0.9.11.4.739-a4e710f).

 

I created a share called Music and under it created a folder called iTunes. I then copied my entire iTunes folder structure from my PC to the NAS, including all the "iTunes Library*.*" files.

 

I then went into the Plex Media Server configuration > Channels and checked the "Enable iTunes Channel" checkbox. In the Advanced Settings I entered "/volume1/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml" into the "iTunes Library XML Path" field.

 

Finally, I went to DSM and stopped and restarted the Plex Media Server.

 

But I still don't see iTunes under Channels.
