Map in your data storage locations to be identical as you have in Binhex
From the Unraid command line, use the classic ‘tar | tar’ technique to copy from the working “Plex Media Server” directory to the new one you just created.
(copying the inside of one container and cloning it into another)
Start the official container and jump into it
STOP PMS (/plex_service.sh -d)
Now do a recursive chown -R plex:users /config to get all the UID/GIDs in alignment.
Restart the new container.
What you’ll have is “Plex Official” with all your original server data
I need to set this down for the night. (long day / exhausted) and I’m not the most skilled at Unraid. BinHex comes with a lot more instructions to make it work so I need fresh eyes to do this.
I downgraded the container to 1.29.2.6364 and it works flawlessly. This is telling me it’s Plex having an issue. This is how we fixed it last time, even though it’s more of a workaround than a fix. I guess I’ll just stay on this version until we pinpoint the problem and get it fixed for the next update.
The code can’t be broken else it would be failing for everyone.
We need to find the root cause for you.
EAE/TrueHD works. I have TrueHD in over half my titles.
I was thinking of one thing.
Stop Plex
Rename “Codecs” → “Codecs.old”
Start Plex
As you start to play videos, as needed, the codecs, including EAE, will be downloadd again into the newly created Codecs directory.
if you don’t get a new Codecs directory – we’ve found it.
If you get a new Codecs directory and it fails to unzip – there’s a library problem on your machine we need to figure out. (libzip.so)
Alright, I figured it out. I’m so dumb. I was in a different directory that had the same setup (I’m not sure how that happened), but I was deleting the codec folder there. Once I found out that I was in the wrong place I found the correct place and deleted the actual codec folder. It redownloaded the codec folder and we are up and running! I’m sorry for all of that headache and my utter stupidity.
