Library wont display

Plex Media Server
21

I’ve just enabled it. what do you want me to benchmark my cpu with?

22

It will take a fair amount of time to sync it.

If you don’t want to wait, you can:

  1. Stop Plex
  2. copy the existing DBs somewhere safe (we will read them later)
  3. Build the new container
  4. When complete,
  5. Get into the container command line
  6. Launch DB Repair
  7. Stop PMS
  8. With the old DB visible to the container’s namespace (e.g somewhere under /config)
  9. DBrepair - Import. (Import the viewstate info from the old db)
  10. When done, let DBRepair do an Auto again to put it all in order.
  11. Restart PMS
23

I use CPU Benchmarks reported values. They have good tests.

EDIT: Here’s my URL:

24

I’ll wait. my news is recording.

25

Looked up your CPU:

26

yeah, single thread leaves something to be desired, but it’s been chugging along.

27

That’s one of the issues. The select() statement to query the DB for Plex/web is single-threaded.

PMS does a lot of single-threaded operations.

This is one of those cases where my KabyLake is faster.

This is my Xeon. It gets a LOT done but not as fast for PMS.

I had to get an i9-12900 to really “slug it out” for all the things I run concurrently.

( Xeon is great file server / general appliance, Dragon Canyon NUC is workstation and makes a great PMS server . All using 10 GbE network )

28

so, manually fixing this… whats the best way to keep the metadata and such? Also, how long will the watched status take you think?

29

To manually fix, I would do the following.

  1. Stop container
  2. copy the Databases directory (temporarily) to where media is (so it’s accessible)
  3. Create a new container
  4. Add the media
  5. Let it scan in
  6. When done, get into the container shell.
  7. Run DBRepair
    – Stop PMS
    – IMPORT the watch history from the com.plexapp.plugins.library.db path
    – Start PMS
    – Confirm watch history restored
    – Exit DBRepair
  8. With confirmation complete, delete “Databases” from the media location.

Thanks for your time with this.

Be well

If you need help with this, Let me know and I’m sure we can work something out.

32

EPG for DVR wont display. same generic error. also some channels have become available that aren’t mapable.

33

This is still an issue. Sorting by unwatched, and trying to view last episode date added times out. You should be forced to make your code work on a P4. your bloated code is slow.

35

There is a known problem with 1.42.x.

36

The AppleTV client times out too

37

This is still an issue
