Hello,
I'm having issues on videos (youtube) sent to "watch later" queue. It works ONLY on the plex admin account. If I send a video to the "watch later" queue for a normal user, if the user tries to play the video (it's correctly added on the queue) I get this error:
"Plex Media Server is not responding".
How to solve?
Thanks!
Simon
Not sure if this is the right subforum for this.
Have recently upgraded Plex on Linux to v1.1.3
I am having trouble matching a movie:
I have tried to input the IMDB id into the search field, but no it cannot find it.
Search for exact title, using agent TheMovieDB and it cannot find it either, though it is there as I found it on their web page.
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4832-superstorm
But "No matches found" in Plex.
Tried using Agent Plex Movie, but no Superstorm, only Superstar. Is it stupid or something.
I have read that Miniseries thrive better under TV Shows, but I prefer it under movies as I do not like mixing Mini Series and my TV Shows, and also it is on The Movie Database and IMDB.
Hi guys,
i tried to fix this problem since 3 days but i didn't find a solution. (maybe i am to dumb to find it in the web).
My PMS on Raspberry3 with Raspbian doesn't show cover but metadata, episodenames and themes are correct.

I tested it for 4 months with an vm and debian jessie and there was no problems - also i tried pms on windows 10 and it works also.
The user plex is the owner of all files and the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/ folder (there are also the mp4 files).
chmod is: drwxr-xr-x plex nogroup - there is no plex group on my system.
Maybes someone can help me.
I noticed that after upgrading to 1.0.1, my Apache2 proxy pass utility was broken. Reverting to 1.0.0 fixes the issue.
<Location /plex>
#RewriteCond %{X-Plex-Client-Identifier} ^(.*)$
#RewriteRule ^/$ /plex/$1

Is what I have in place for Plex.
Not sure what updates were made for the upgrade to the backend.
This page says I can easily download server logs under the "Help" menu but my web interface to the server shows no such menu item.

So how are we supposed to get logs?
I have just added my extensive music collection to Plex.
Not sure if it has anything to do with the server.
Sometimes clicking on an artist Plex Web shows nothing, just spinning the wheel.
Sometimes it tells me "The media you're trying to access doesn't seem to exist".
Scrolling down the collection is slow, sometimes tumbnails take a few seconds to display. Sometimes it does not show anything when scrolling, just the spinning wheel.
Excessive refresh and back and forth solves it for once then it is buggy again.
When it stops displaying artists/albums it always stop at the exact same row, after E and nothing displays for F to Z. When this happens I cannot get into any of the artists that are displayed.
My music collection consists of >25000 tracks, >1700 albums and 283 artists.
The web browser with Plex Web is open on the same server running Plex Server.
This is from the server log

Hi.
We have decided to lock the other Debian thread and start a new one so I can edit the first post since Origin is no longer and has not been maintaing this package for a while.
All credits goes to Tobias and the other at Plex for PMS and the init script for Debian were made by Origin. I have just taken all there work and efforts and repacked it for Debian since the ubuntu package is not compatible since the change to upstart.
Down here is the instructions for installing PMS from my repo. This packages is for now compatible with Debian Squeeze , Wheezy and OpenMediaVault 0.3 , 0.4
First Time install
sudo apt-get install curl If you are running Squeeze,Wheezy or Jessie with SYSVINIT echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list if you are running Jessie with systemd echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
sudo curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell.ninthgate.se.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver
Upgrading
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
The init script Original by Origin with a minor modification by me

Hi.
I am a complete newbie to Ubuntu and Plex, which makes me a bit of a basket case. I am relying on the kindness of strangers :)
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 computer that has Plex Media Server installed. As part of the installation process, I attempted to give Plex the location of my iTunes library, my only real present source of movies and TV shows. The iTunes library is on a networked share that shares files between a few household macs and this Ubuntu machine.
The Ubuntu computer shows the drive as mounted in the Files file manager. I can access and open files on the same drive from Ubuntu [and the macs, of course].
But I have not been able to give Plex the location of the networked folder, despite the fact that the drive is mounted. I may be doing something wrong in Plex land or Ubuntu land.
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Recently myself and people using my Plex Server across many devices are having buffering issues. Normally which leads to Plex saying it has a poor or slow connection to the server. I can't figure out why it is having issues now, when I have never had any issues in the past.

thx in advance
I've seen that a lot of people are having this issue on various platforms. When I search via the web client I get no results. Searching on the Android client seems to work OK.
Any idea how to resolve this?
If there one or do I have to use wget to the link on the download page every time?
I’m having a buffering issue as of late and am having trouble determining the cause. When I first set the server up a few years ago I tested a few simultaneous transcoded streams and they played fine. Until recently though I've tended to just direct stream to Rasplex. Because of that I'm not able to say exactly when this started. I’ve carried out quite a few tests using both my main and a test server set up on a laptop in the same LAN so will try to explain the issue clearly (hopefully). It’s a long post but I’ve included some pictures

Main Server Issue
On my main server I am seeing lots of buffering and looking at the ‘speed =>’ output in the ‘Plex Media Server.log’ this seems to point to an inability to transcode at a fast enough speed some of the time. The speed value is very erratic.
The below two screenshots show 2 streams with only 1 transcoding. The transcode is going to the Dell laptop – wired client.
At 19:40 buffering occurs, no real CPU usage can be seen and the speed value is at 0 (it’s not throttled at this point):
A few minutes later buffering stops, again the CPU is not taxed but the speed values have shot right up:
Without posting endless examples I am in short seeing regular buffering (even on only 1 stream when transcoding) and very erratic ‘speed =>’ values.
The above example is an extreme one, however I am regularly seeing ‘speed =>’ values of 0.2, 0.3 etc (during which I get buffering) then a while later seeing much higher ‘speed =>’ values.
Most of the time the CPU is doing very little and the fact the CPU can produce higher ‘speed =>’ values suggests it is up to the job.
What could be causing this, it feels like transcoding should be taking place but for some reason it’s just not happening.
Direct Stream is working fine.
Test (Laptop) Server Performance
I’m seeing no issues using a server installed on a laptop in the same LAN, using the same test media. In fact, it can cope easily with 5 streams with pretty steady ‘speed =>’ values in the server log. Below is a screenshot:
Conclusions
I’m no expert but I am drawing the following conclusions so far:
• As the laptop server can cope with 5 streams with no buffering at the client end I do not have a network issue.
• I know this is simplistic but a comparison between the 2 server’s CPUs is:
So the laptop server’s CPU is better but based on the above figures I would expect the Main server’s CPU to be able to cope with a few simultaneous transcodes.
What next?
I’m not sure of where to look next so any help/pointers would be appreciated. I’m about at the limit of my knowledge. Ask away if any additional info would be useful.
I get this message and have tried to fix it by doing the following:
Verified that I can actually get to the files in question - I did this by logging on to the server and going to the directories and checked the files were there
I checked that the file permissions were correct
Can anyone help? This has really stumped me. I just watched a show using Plex on Friday. Something is going on I cannot figure out.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

I've been searching for hours trying to find the shortcut for the Plex Home Theater executable in LXLE. It's installed but I can't find it anywhere.
I've found the install files in /opt/plexhometheater but where is the friggin shortcut to start it?
Friggin Linux. X( It's a good thing I don't have any hair or I would have pulled it all out by now.......
So in the recent update 0.9.14.6 (23.des) we can now add our own custom ssl certs.
I'm not familiar with pkcs#12.
I however have been using Letsencrypt to get my free signed ssl certs for all my standalone and apache web servers. How can I use does certs in Plex?
Edit: Available cert files from Letsencrypt: cert.pem chain.pem fullchain.pem privkey.pem
Ever since I upgraded to the latest Plex server software, Plex has been telling me there's an unclaimed server. However, trying to claim that server always fails and I am asked to sign in first (even though I was already signed in) and that always fails.
I'm using an Ubuntu Desktop 14.04LTS installation with a projector, on a home wired network with Internet access. I've manually signed out of my server, manually signed out of the plex.tv website, disabled my adblocker (Adblock Plus on Chrome) restarted the computer, and tried again -- same error.
I also noticed that my server says there's an upgrade available even though that's the exact version I am already running (plexmediaserver_1.1.3.2700-6f64a8d_amd64.deb). I have re-downloaded and installed it on top of my existing software, but the situation remains.
I dug out an older version (plexmediaserver_1.0.0.2261-a17e99e_amd64.deb) and installed that on top of my existing software -- and both problems went away! The dashboard no longer reports an unclaimed server, and I have no log-in errors.
I notice many similar problem reports, but none mention downgrading as a successful "solution", but at least for me it solves the problem. This tells me it's not a firewall issue or otherwise related to the network; it seems directly linked to the version of the Plex server software. Could there be a bug in the plexmediaserver_1.1.3.2700 version that is causing this?
Hello, I've set up a new plex server internal to my network that is to be local-only, no plex link (I have two plex-linked servers elsewhere). When I access it via its IP address I can access the server without sign-in, however when I use its hostname, despite this resolving to the machine's IP address and me getting connected to the right machine, I get asked for a plex sign-in. The logs show the following;
Aug 27, 2016 17:47:05.892 [0x7f2e25ffd700] DEBUG - NetworkServiceBrowser: SERVER arrived: 127.0.0.1 (servint)
So this shows it's at least recognised its own name at one point in the start-up. Then when I access the server via its hostname I get this;
Aug 27, 2016 17:47:15.504 [0x7f2e2a7ff700] DEBUG - Request came in with unrecognized domain 'servint' in header Host; treating as non-local
Essentially it doesn't recognise its own name and treats the request as external despite the "Authorised networks" network and netmask being set correctly in the config (as I say I'm not asked for authentication when I connect using the IP address). I can also run "ssh root@servint" and it gets me to the right place, so far it seems to be just Plex that is having a problem recognising the machine's name. It picks it up in the server config fields and shows the right name as its "friendly name".
It's version 1.1.2.2680-09e98fb installed fresh today.
Hi,
I set up my Plex again the other day, version 1.1.3.2700 for unRAID, and added my media. It took quite a long time as I have a lot of media. There's a chunk of movies (as in, they're all in order) that didn't get matched. This in itself isn't too odd - I know sometimes these services will stop responding if you make a lot of API calls, but the really weird thing is that if I hit refresh in the movies section it doesn't actually update these unmatched movies - I have to go into each one and hit refresh (which occasionally doesn't work, in which case I have to hit the match button).
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to bulk match any unmatched stuff? I would have thought hitting refresh on the library would do that but apparently not...
Hello,
I am running plexmediaserver on a openmediavault server (Debian). Plex web cannot find the server, nor can my Roku. However, my Windows 10 phone does connect via the Plex app. All devices are connected to the same subnet on my home network.
What are somethings that I can try to solve this issue?
