Plex jail can't get new metadata and settings are unavailable after updating FreeNAS 11.1-U4 -> 11.1-U7

Server Version#:1.15.3.876-ad6e39743

Hi, I recently updated my FreeNAS box to the latest stable version and all of a sudden I get no new, real thumbnails on my plex server. It seems like it can’t get new metadata from online sources. Also, “Server Settings are Unavailable”, so I can’t check metadata sources. It’s still able to write new log files though, but I’m not sure what log file to look in to find the cause of the issue.

I’ve managed to fix it. This thread right here did the trick.

Tl;dr, if you’ve been using the PMS_Updater.sh from github to update your plex instance, it doesn’t update everything. You need to edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/plexmediaserver and change the line

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=*some other garbage*

to

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${SCRIPTPATH}/lib"

and restart your whole FreeNAS box.

Glad you found it, I’ve also seen other users/upgrading and creating new jails instead of using the plugin.

If that was the case please make sure to enable VNET too.
