Hi everyone, It’s a bit hard to explain, but I’m not trying to create an exact copy of a the whole Plex server (like all the existing guides have instructions for). I’m only trying to copy all Plex-media-configuration (so playlists, likes, what has been played, etc) into an additional new Plex serv…

Unfortunately I don’t know much about Truenas or Docker. But I can tell you that you’ve done it correctly so far, if you have omitted the file Preferences.xml from the copy process. [image] ODB: The rescanning after changing the library paths of course takes a huge amount of time (and probably…

[image] OttoKerner: Unfortunately I don’t know much about Truenas or Docker. But I can tell you that you’ve done it correctly so far, if you have omitted the file Preferences.xml from the copy process. Thanks for the confirmation! I have indeed not touched the Preferences.xml after the fres…

Aha! After a bit more searching, I found the logs in the docker container itself: root@plex-test-75bc8cc4-bfrcc:/# cd ~plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/ root@plex-test-75bc8cc4-bfrcc:~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server# ls -la Logs/ total 331 drwxrwsrwx 3 root ple…

[image] OttoKerner: As I understand it, this can be defined in the Docker container configuration. You can map any folder in the container to a folder on the host machine if you want to. I’m only just starting with Kubernetes / docker, so I don’t know much of it either I’m afraid. But here is…

I’ve created following “TrueNAS Charts” bug report for the log filesystem issue: https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/TNCHARTS-914 And they have fixed it in version 2.0.4 (I did need to do a reinstall of the Plex app) I’ve also retried to “Download Logs” and “Download Database” and it still doe…

A report back on what @OttoKerner suggested for testing the health of my mirrored plex: adding new items and fetching metadata for them → works fine editing metadata of existing items → works fine playback with transcoding. Be sure to test both video transcoding, as well as audio transcoding f…

[image] ODB: but I’m not sure how to properly test it for audio with those specific output formats that you mention. I was able to change the amount of channels (I tried 3.1) in the “settings - player”, but not choose something like AC3, … After this change, when playing video and choosing set…

Do you mean like this? [image] → [image] This works too
