hello everyone,
Does exclude with file .plexignore works or not? I'm confused because, there - https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201375253-Excluding-New-Content-with-plexignore is written - "Warning: This is an advanced feature and is not intended for general users".
What is solution for exclude some files and folder? I tried make .plexignore file with content -
*/Panorama*/*
My task is exclude all folder which names is starting with string - "Panorama".

Plenty of storage, still getting "not enough disk space to convert this item" error
I had a plex server running perfectly fine on a Raspeberry Pi for a few months, but after adding a few movie files (through a network file transfer), I started getting an error that told me "playback was terminated by the server, not enough disk space to convert this item."
I figured I might have used up more space than I thought with those files, and set out to upgrade to a larger external drive. This new drive has over 500 GB (more than half of the disk) available, but Plex still gives me the same error.
It won't play anything from any of my libraries, so music, tv shows and movies are all impacted by this.
Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

New install cannot find server for setup
My windows computer died so I decided to resurrect my plex server on my Centos 6 router machine. It had an older version (.9.9 something) that had worked previously but I hadn't used it in over a year so I downloaded plexmediaserver-1.7.6.4058-8fa494d15.x86_64.rpm and performed
sudo yum install plexmediaserver
from an ssh terminal. I was connected to the router machine via openvpn so I tried to open the server setup page with
http://10.1.x.x:32400/web where I was greeted with the login screen. After logging in with my plex pass, my other servers showed up but not this new server.
My previous server had a port forward so I removed it. I use squid, not in transparent mode, to cache pages for mobile devices specifically configured for it but I shut it down anyway. Still no access. I restart the server each time between tries as well.
I tried disconnecting the vpn and setting up a tunnel with putty with the same result.
Since yum did an upgrade, I went ahead and used yum to remove the server, deleted the /home/plex/[application support] directory and /usr/lib/plexmediaserver as well as /etc/sysconfig/PlexMediaServer.rpmsave and did a fresh
yum install plexmediaserver from an su prompt. After starting the server I verified it was running with ps and by watching a running tail -f Plex Media Server.log but same result. After log in, no server found.
I found another thread recommending deleting Preferences.xml and restart so I tried that too. Same result.
Since I cannot access the server setup, I cannot submit the logs and they are in verbose. So I restarted the server and made a quick page request then grabbed the final log file, the previous two log files, the Preferences.xml file, a ps-aef | grep Plex and a service plexmediaserver status and tarred them up. They are attached.
Please advise on further troubleshooting options. Thank you.

PMS stuck at 1.3 on Ubuntu Server 16.04.2
I'm a fairly new user to linux and have been trying to learn over the past few days.
I've installed most things seemingly correctly and installed PMS automatically using apt
my issue is that the server won't seem to find an update past 1.3.
I've gotten an error several times about a missing codec, etc and, from the reading i've done, found that versions beyond 1.5 have corrected this issue so, the need to update was obvious.
if any other info is needed to help diagnose my issue, or more likely, my own stupidity, please let me know.

Moving database from Windows to Ubuntu
I want to tear down my windows install and put ubuntu on my plex server. But I'm wondering if it's possible to retain the database info. On Windows, I've mapped to my NAS shares with a drive letter. Should have used UNC but even if I did, UNC on Windows uses a backslash and on linux it's a forward slash. So if I saved and moved the metadata, would plex give me the option of changing the library path so everything would "resync"? And is the windows registry needed too?
The other question is whether the user watch records are included in that metadata folder as well.

Is there a way for 2 Plex Media Servers to share the same media and track watched/unwatched status?
I've added a 2nd PSM running inside docker to my network and mounted the same media shares that my OSX PMS uses. PMS in the docker is happily updating the library but of course it has no ideas what has/hasn't been watched.
Is there a way for the 2 servers to share this data?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Michal
P.S. I have reasons for wanting 2 servers serving the same media, but that's outside the scope of this question and would just muddy the waters.

Disable Direct Play (server side)
Hi all, is it possible to enforce disabling direct play on PMS for Linux?
I did notice an option 'Limit remote streamer bitrate', but this isn't what I'm looking for.
I'm using a dedicated server with a mounted Amazon Drive as storage, and that storage works fine, just doesn't handle Direct Play well. Some clients do not have the option to disable Direct Play, so it would be so much more convenient if I could disable this server side..

PLEASE Help - Cannot connect to PMS ???
Hi, I have a raspberry Pi2. Previously I was running Ubuntu Mate v15 with PMS installed. I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu Mate v16 by doing a fresh install. So I followed the guide here: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201370363-Move-an-Install-to-Another-System to move my Plex install over to the new OS.
I installed PMS on the new OS using the exact same method as I did before. The server started fine and I could access it like normal using IP:PORT/web. Following the steps in the guide, I stopped the plexmediaserver service and copied/replaced all my Plex data in the folder /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/ with my Plex data from the old OS. I rebooted the Pi2. The service started on boot, here is the result of "sudo service plexmediaserver status":
BUT now I cannot access the server via any browser. I tried endlessly rebooting the Pi2 and starting/stopping the service to no avail. What could possibly be wrong ? Please, I really need to get this working.
PS. I don't know if it has any meaning to this, but there is no "start.sh" file in /usr/lib/plexmediaserver. However, remember that I could access the server perfectly before I copied over the files and rebooted.

plexmediaserver_1.7.5.4035-313f93718_amd64.deb for ubuntu/debian9 has huge regressions !
Hello
I have upgraded my linux server which was version 1.5.7.4016 on debian 9.
i upgraded to the last version and here is the big issues i have noticed.
- you have mispelled the last package version you have inverted the 7 and the 5 in the name of the package. how can a server go from 1.5.7 to 1.7.5 in one month ?
- parameter disableRemoteSecurity="1" in Preferences.xml do not work anymore so we cannot connect remotely without user authentification. I prefere public ip address authentification in allowed networks, without putting a username or password.
Could you please fix the disableRemotesecurity making it work again if the value is equal to 1.
I was obliged to downgrade to version back to 1.5.7.4016 which was the previous version before 1.7.5.4035
thanks a lot and have a nice day

Some files buffer constantly, some play seamlessly…
Hi,
I'm running Plex Server on Ubuntu on an HP Microserver (Gen9 - Dual-Core 2.30GHz Celeron CPU, 4GB RAM), which I believe should be capable of transcoding 1080p without problem - and indeed it used to…
For ages, everything ran fine, but recently I'm finding that for a lot of files, it buffers for a minute or so before anything plays, and then stops to buffer again every few seconds.
On these problem files, the logs show me a transcoding speed averaging about 0.4.
However, on other files of seemingly the same spec (ie, 1080p H264, AC3 5.1), the files play fine and I see a transcoding speed averaging around 10.
Any suggests what might be causing this or how I can debug this further?
I originally thought the problem was with files on my NAS as opposed to on the machine's local drives, but I copied a problem file to the machine and the problem was the same.
I am running version 1.7.5.4035 - although I was having the same problem on 1.5.x.
Thanks
Pete

Unable to make remote access working
Hi,
I have to bother you guys once more. I am not able to make the remote access working in Plex Media Server. It goes green and then turns red.
My iptables output is attached (please don't use to get me :-) )
Also my ufw rules are in the attached document.
The error screenshot is also attached.
Any help is appreciated.

Some films and TV programmes wil not play but others will; any ideas please?
I have recently got a Synology media server and am new to this; my friend set it up for me. I cannot play some of the films and tv programmes that I have downloaded but others are fine; the error message that comes up if it doesn't play:
Error
Playback has stopped because the connection to the Plex Media Server has been lost. Please ensure the server is available and retry. Retry or Cancel.
It is always the same items that have this message; could it mean that they were corrupted when downloaded or is it something else?
I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance if you read it and reply!

Disabled firewall on suse machine, remote access works. So I am pretty sure it is the firewall rules of the local machine, not the router.
tried restarting machine and loging in/out of plex, but same error

I see nothing out in the firewall rules, yet it is not working, any help / input is appreciated.

Script for updating Plex
I run Plex on a CentOS VM and whenever there is an update, the upgrade process was always quite manual since I need to download the RPM, dump it on the server and run the update. So I stopped and took a few min to write a bash script to make it easier. You can change the commands to make it work for your flavor of Linux.
