Amahi 10/Fedora 25 probs

February 7, 2018, 9:19 pm

First, I'm a noob with no real programming experience. Got Amahi set up (after quite a few trials) and trying to get Plex to work.

Read some other posts here and ps -ef | grep -1 plex command seems to show it's there. (I think)

Trying to access 127.0.0.1:32400 reaches nowhere but when I wget that address it connects.

However whenever I try to check status, start, or enable it says not found or no such file, etc.

I'm confused as I thought the app inside Amahi has PMS installed but it keeps asking my to download PMS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Permissions Photo Upload

I am trying to setup photo uploads from my iphone to PMS and I think I am having permissions issues... My setup is a little complicated

All my media is on a Qnap NAS and PMS runs on a Ubuntu Headless server.

I setup PMS using this online guide which was very helpful...

I have successfully added the video/ audio/photos libraries, however I can 't seem to upload photos from my iphone and I would think this is due to permissions on PMS. When I setup PMS I mount the samba shares from Qnap to /mnt/Videos, /mnt/Audio and /mnt/Multmedia. On my NAS I have given rights to rw and I can create a folder from the Ubuntu server but PMS can't add/create files?

if I run a ls -lah I get this

Do I need to just change the owenership of this /mnt/Multimedia folder and contents? Do i need to change any other permissions on the NAS?
Also, if anyone can help with the correct commands that would be great.. My linux is very rusty :wink:

Thanks

How to organize Photo in folders ?

Hello,
I'm completely newbie to this product but I started to love it. My question is kind of general ... not sure if I'm missing something so please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm running PMS on Linux Ubuntu 11.10. In Photo section I was able to provide the path to all my folders in PC which have pictures. I was very surprised that all pictures are in one pool i.e. they are not organized hence I can't select pictures based on some criteria. I expected that they'll be in the same folders I provided path ... but it's not.
My question: does it work that way or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks

Can't get remote access to work.

I'm running a Openflixr which is a bunch of media tools pre-installed on a Debian VM. I wanted to test Plex and this was the fastest way to do so. So far it's been great and I had planned to keep it like it is but for whatever reason I cannot get remote access to acknowledge my port forwards. I've spent a few days **** with it and then came and searched the forums for a few hours and didn't find anything that worked.

Current system:
Openflixr VM running
Ubuntu 16.04 xenial
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-112-generic
Shell: bash 4.3.48
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon CPU X5650 @ 2.667GHz
RAM: 1747MiB / 3942MiB
IPtables is open
Updated before testing

PMS Version 1.10.1.4602

Firewall pfSense 2.3.4-RELEASE (amd64)
SNORT is in IDS mode
DNSBL was disabled for the test and DNS was flushed through the entire DNS chain

I have double NAT where Comcast provides a cable modem that leads to my firewall and then to my network. Currently the Comcast device has the pfSense WAN IP set as it's DMZ address so all non-stateful traffic is directed to the WAN interface of the pfSense firewall. I know this works since I have two VPN connections and see random background probing in my SNORT logs.

Comcast Cable Modem -> pfSense -> LAN

I've attempted to create a port forward for all untrusted traffic on my pfSense WAN to my VM's single IP keeping 32400 for source and destination. The remote access tab still says it's not available outside my network. I figured I'd change it externally to 33000 but forward to 32400 internally. The remote access tab still says it's not available outside my network.

On a whim I tried to connect via phone client over mobile data. It asked me whether to allow unsecured connections (always, local network, never). I tried "always" and it promptly said nothing was available. I tried again and said "never" and it said my connection was "indirect". I'd rather have the higher bandwidth direct connection and not have to hairpin through the Plex back end. I've looked for dumb things like the spaces that turn into 0.0.0.0 under network and two dozen port forwards that have not had any success.

It appears I have an issue with PMS and ports and possibly a cert issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Setting up my server on a UBUNTU 16.04 box. It has three HDD. When trying to add a library, Plex refuses to "see" media (specifically music and photos) on either of my two media HDDs. I've even put in /dev/sdc1/media/halhack/Music/Music which is the full path to my media. Any help appreciated.

So I followed this guide here and it went surprisingly smoothly, there were no errors while installing anything. When I restarted my Pi, I entered the IP followed by the plex port and everything, and nothing popped up, after googling I discovered the Plex server wasn't starting and said exit code 127, I tried doing more googling but nothing I found was able to work

Plex Media Server Repo for Debian

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 using Jessie with systemd then use the Ubuntu package from plex and you will get their repo.

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

Is It Possible to Choose Which GPU is Used for Hardware Transcoding?

I've got a box with a i7-4770 and a GTX 550ti and I've been trying out hardware encoding. I've noticed that the quality is quite poor, and it looks like Plex is using QSV to decode and encode the video. I want to try out CPU decoding and NVENC Encoding, to see if the quality improves, but there are no options to specify one GPU versus the other.

Thoughts?

Hi,

My Plex Server (and library) is on a low-consumption low-power HP MicroServer Gen8.

In order to accelerate transcoding, is there a way to use my main computer when its on only for the transcoding part ?

Like if there were a "cloud" of Plex Server and it use the more powerful available to transcode my media.

I have tried copying all the data directory to new server from old. Updating the Preferences.XML file to no avail. I have a machine on same network and it does not allow me to view Plex page. when i install Fedora GUI i am able to launch initial page and then all machine have access. i would like to keep my Fedora footprint minimal as possible. There has to be a way via command to activate server. Yes the Firewall is the first thing I disabled and I did enable the Plex service and start it as well.

18.04 LTS possible SNAP preinstalled, so what does PLEX support...

February 9, 2018, 7:10 pm

What is Plex throwing its support behind for 18.04 LTS? SNAP, FLATPAK, or APPIMAGE? I imagine many 14.04 LTS users will be looking to move to 18.04 LTS in April/May.

SNAP seems to be great, I installed it in 14.04, and it seems to have a wider audience (both users and providers) than the other two. I am still trying to 'get' it. Each SNAP shows up as a Disk...hmm.

Per the article:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-include-snap-apps-default

There does seem to be a lack to gtk theme integration. This bothers me but I love the idea of ALL dependencies being included in each >snap<. I installed VLC and it does look different than the apt-get version, which it shouldn't. But, since my server is just a server (Plex and file server only), a couple of non-gtk theme adhering apps isn't really that bad.

What do folks think? I never went to Docker so I have no comparison.

Thanks!

Running Plex 1.10.1.4602 on Ubuntu Server 16.04 and Plex Server status is indirect

February 10, 2018, 4:41 am
$

Hello All,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here I go.

Here is how I came to where I am now. I had an OpenMediaVault machine that hosted plex. The Plex app stopped working because it was conflicting with the WebGUI Config panel of the OpenMediaVault. So I uninstalled Plex from that machine and it is no longer running on that box.

I then installed Plex Server 1.10.1.4602 on my Standalone (meaning the only plex is on this box and nothing else) Ubuntu 16.04 server.

Since I did this EVERY device shows the plex server is "indirect". While before the OMV Plex app died I had a direct connection.

I have not made any changes to my network from the uninstall from OVM to the install on the new Ubuntu box.

I then did some digging on forms and saw that DNSMasq needs to be disabled on my router. So I did that and rebooted the router. Still says indirect.

On the plex server, i disabled "Secure connections". It still says indirect.

I wish I knew what version was on my old OMV server as that I am sure that would help the troubleshooting but as per 1.10.1.4602 I keep getting "indirect"

Now to be clear I can get to the box via the Plex app on all of my devices but the quality is low.

Currently, my network looks like this

Router - 192.168.11.1 -> DHCP Server - 192.168.211.1 -> Media files are on - 192.168.211.115 -> and Plex is - 192.168.211.113 -> All devices 192.168.211.100-255

any direction would be helpful, thanks in advanced.
