Server Version#: 1.23.4.4775
Player Version#: Web or App
Old Setup:
Mac Mini - Running High Sierra
NAS - Synology with permissions set to RW for all media files
NAS - Different folders depending on media. i.e., Music - Music Folder, Movies - Movies Folder
New Setup
Mac Pro - Running High Sierra
NAS - Same
NAS - Same
The old Mac Mini was decommissioned and no longer has a Plex server running on it. The Mac Mini isn’t even running.
Created the same links as I had before and used the same setup as I did for the Library’s., Music, Movie, TV Shows.
When I made the connect, Plex started to add the media. I let this run over night, as there was a lot of media to build out and add.
When I logged back in this morning, all of the movies and tv shows are present and correct. The music on the other hand, only a handful came over. I have done several “scan files” and have had no luck. I don’t have the red trashcans, it is just the media is not showing up.
I checked the server shares, and on my NAS those users that have access all have RW and the folders themselves are set to RW.
Is there something else I need to check to see about the other music files that are not loading up? Anything on the Mac side?
Well the good news is, I did a restart of my computer and then a fresh scan and it seems to be picking up a heck of a lot more files. So I will wait and see if they are all added in now. Fingers crossed.
New problem now… none of the artist pictures are showing up… Or I should say a vast majority of them are not showing up. Scratching my head on this one.
Also, all I have on the NAS is the volumes were the media resides. I don’t have the server running on my NAS. The server software actually runs on my Mac Pro. Hope this makes sense.
So I have three volumes mounted on my Mac, Music, TV Shows, Movies.
The crash probably happened when I first posted the issue. Once I did a restart things started to populate…
Ok, I will reboot everything and see how it goes.
What is strange, before my Mac Mini died, everything was working great. Once it did and I did a fresh install on my Mac Pro things started acting weird. But as soon as I get home, I will reboot everything and report back.
I did the Plex “Dance” and started to load the files back up for the music section. I have attached the logs as the files are still loading but thought these might be useful also. Plex Media Server Logs_2021-07-07_18-32-55.zip (10.8 MB)
Now all my Plex server is doing is scanning my files… I have a feeling there might be a network issue, but, it isn’t scanning my movies or TV Shows… Just the music. I will force stop the scan, and a few minutes later it is back at it again… scanning away.
Any help with this would be great. My Plex server is doing nothing but scanning my music section. I stop it, and seconds later it starts up again. It has been doing this for the past 24 hours…
An update… Background pictures are showing up, but artist pictures are not. They are all blank. I have a lot of music and if I have to go through and do it one by one… ugh. Any help??
