It started an automatic scan of the library it seems and everything was gone. executing container initialization scripts.Ĭhecking the Plex logs it seems like something must have happened later yesterday at 05:53 PM (not AM as the above) ensuring user provided files have correct perms.exited 0. making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc.exited 0. sending all processes the KILL signal and exiting. Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1.2). PlexMediaServer install: Docker detected. Setting up plexmediaserver (1.-b1b651549). PlexMediaServer install: Pre-installation Validation. 10460 files and directories currently installed.) Maybe it's not related with the files gone? Just that it checkes folders for correct permissions etc? And maybe the "folder changed" date was changed at 05:50 because the Plex Docker was updated at that time. Like I said before, when I lowered the quality for ‘IT’, it worked, it was all set on to ‘original’ for the quality, so is it best if I lower everything to a certain quality setting, and if so… what would be the best setting you recommend for viewing on 42-52" TVs? as at the moment I think I put it at 1080p at 10mbps, or is it best just to play something, if it works in original then it works, if not then just lower it bit by bit till it works? (im not that good with all of this sorry).Ok, I just checked the log for the Plex Docker. We basically got the NAS so all our movie files can be on one drive, along with family photos/videos, so 3 of us in the house can view movies/videos/photos whenever we want on whatever we want, our Apple TVs, the Firestick or our phones/tablets, but it’s mostly the Apple TVs and Firestick… we did this as it was getting really annoying with us having our own external drives and having to keep unplugging and plugging them into my iMac and putting the same files on numerous drives, so the NAS seemed like the best option, and it has been good, but just having these issues.
Personally speaking I gave up on all the “bells and whistles” stuff on my NAS (in my case an older M圜loud Mirror) such as Plex and even anti-virus scanning, and moved everything off to other devices (a Raspberry Pi3 is now my home Plex server) and just left the NAS to do it’s job of simply being a file repository without the overhead of analysing or transcoding. When you drop the quality you’re decreasing the effective file size that you’re trying to transmit, which is of course easier for the low power CPU in the NAS to achieve. Especially these home devices aren’t designed for “professional” quality.įrom your figures it sounds like you’re trying to stream HD/Blu-ray rips maybe, which will put additional stress on the computational power.
Yes it has had some capabilities given to it as a sales gimmick, but the processors and RAM in these devices are not optimised for media serving. At that time it’s your upload speed that is key (the 12 mbps), but if you’re on your local network then it’s just the throughput of your router and its connection to the device you’re using to play (presuming you’re cabled between the MCH and the router and both support gigabit ethernet).īut in the end the MCH is a NAS box, not a true media server. The internet only comes into play if you are playing stuff on a device that isn’t on your local network (the same network as your MCH). The quality for the movies were all set on ‘original’ but i’m guessing this isn’t good enough as again, a lot of films aren’t playing, so what is a happy medium to play movies at on HD TVs with Plex that won’t lose noticeable quality?Īlso why isn’t the M圜loud ‘NAS’ powerful enough? for example I have the movie ‘IT’ which I tried, and it wouldn’t work unless the quality was lowered, the file itself is 2.4GB, all of my movie files are between 1-4GB, most being between 1 - 2.50GB, is this the problem? as obviously Plex comes ready on the M圜loud, so surely if Plex is already available then the M圜loud should be powerful enough to play movies. So this is a M圜loud problem and not an internet problem? as speeds I get are 220 mpbs download, and 12 mbps upload. Some movies play ok, but some don’t… I just get the loading symbol and nothing happens… I then went into ‘quality’ and went onto a lower one, and it worked, and then skipped to the middle of the movie and it said that the NAS wasn’t powerful enough…
