Plex Media Server[1295760]: Jobs: failed to set priority, errno=13

[KwisatzJim]

Server Version#: 1.40.4.8679-424562606

I recently bought a linux pc and moved my PMS to it.
I followed this process for moving the library:
https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/

the library is on an external RAID-Z2 mounted at /mnt/Media/
I did sudo chown jim:jim /mnt/Media/
and sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt/Media/
and sudo setfacl -R -m u:plex:rx /mnt/Media/
and sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/

It seems to be running fine but I see a bunch of these errors in the system logs:

Plex Media Server[1295760]: Jobs: failed to set priority, errno=13

any ideas as to the cause and a fix?

[ChuckPa]

Error 13 = Permission Denied.

A few questions:

1. Which distro Linux (From and to please) ?

2. /var/lib/plexmediaserver, and all its contents, are sufficiently set using chmod and chown.

3. Have you tried (without setfacl - … acls are very strong overkill here)
   – sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver
   – sudo find /var/lib/plexmediaserver -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
   – sudo find /var/lib/plexmediaserver -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

4. Where is the transcoder temp pointed ?

5. Are you using a container ?

[KwisatzJim]

1. from macOS 14 to Pop_OS 22.04

2. ll /var/lib/plexmediaserver/
   total 4.0K
   drwxr-xr-x 5 plex plex 4.0K Aug 3 15:30 Library/

3a - yes
3b - yes
3c - yes

4. didn’t set one, didn’t know I needed to. Just checked in web interface > settings > transcoder and transcoder temp directory field is empty.

5. no, installed with ppa

[KwisatzJim]

just created /mnt/Media/transcodetemp and set it as the transcode temp dir

should this fix the errno=13?

[ChuckPa]

Good news and some bad news… sorry

1. MacOS → Linux is easy (Plex was originally developed on MacOS… hence ‘Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server’ lol)

2. PopOS is not official support. Like Mint, it’s a derivative and not vetted. Mint is a known disaster running PMS.
   – I have no idea what PopOS will do. I’ve only seen it mentioned in the forums a few times.
   – Redhat/Fedora, Ubuntu/Debian are the vetted and preferred distros.

– Are you committed to using PopOS?

5. Not a factor. PMS provides defaults.

[ChuckPa]

Can you get me the server debug log file ZIP so I can see the source of the error?

[KwisatzJim]

oh no! [on PopOS] the linux pc I bought is a System76 Meerkat, which I chose to ship with PopOS. I suppose I’m not 100% committed to it, but if I can avoid switching distros that would be nice.

are you asking for the PMS debug log? if so, I don’t see a separate debug log. I see these:

Yes those please.

In Plex/web -
**Settings – [server name] - Troubleshooting (lower left corner) - Download Logs (middle of the page after clicking ‘Troubleshooting’)

It will give you a ZIP file.

That file please.

[KwisatzJim]

oh, I think you meant doing the download logs… and as I write this I see you posted exactly that…
Plex Media Server Logs_2024-08-11_19-26-52.zip (5.5 MB)

[ChuckPa]

Thank you for the logs.

Finding a few things. (don’t fear just yet… … wait until I’m finished… )

I’ll post again in a couple minutes

[ChuckPa]

Would you mind doing the following for me please?
(I’d like to see PMS behavior when it first starts. I think I know where the root issue is)

1. Stop PMS
2. Start PMS
3. Let it sit completely idle for 3 minutes
4. Download the logs ZIP file again
5. Attach ZIP here please.

It looks like you have a fair amount of music. Well organized music often fills up the default Linux inotify table (it’s not that big). This is easily remedied.
(Newer OS distros allow 65536 directories. Some, and apparently PopOS, only seem to allow 8192)

The procedure to remedy this is to count the number in use, pad up to the next multiple of 32768, and resize the kernel table. After resizing it , we restart Plex.

Linux Tips

Increase the number of directories Linux can monitor (inotify) for PMS The default size of the Linux inotify table is 8192 directories (*1). When PMS is configured to update automatically when media is added, with properly organized media, especially music, this table rapidly fills and exceeds the default allocation requiring you to increase it. The solution to this is straight forward. Increasing the table size is easy. The first step is to determine how many directories to alloca…

procedure done, new logs attached

[KwisatzJim]

my network setup might be a bit “non-ordinary”
I have 2 pi-holes, a main and a backup, running on 2 Raspberry Pi 4b’s.
I use tailscale and have the pi-holes setup as the DNS for my tailscale network.
each computer has tailscale installed.

I forgot to mention that I had previously done something similar to the inotify tip by going by the tips found in the archlinux wiki article on Plex:
cat /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

is this an acceptable way to do this or should I undo this method and do the PMS linux tip method?

here’s what I came up with doing the sudo find:

sudo find /mnt/Media/iTunes/Movies/ /mnt/Media/iTunes/TV\ Shows/ /mnt/Media/iTunes/Music/ /mnt/Media/iTunes/AudioBooks/ /mnt/Media/iTunes/Other\ Videos/ -type d -print | wc -l
7927

[KwisatzJim]

I just did the linux tips procedure " Automate granting user plex access to anything written into your media library regardless of the original permissions":

sudo chgrp -R plex /mnt/Media/iTunes/

sudo chmod g+s /mnt/Media/iTunes/

sudo find /mnt/Media/iTunes/ -type d -exec chmod g+s {} ;

I’m finding more errors in your logs.

1. The transcode temp directory you specified is not writable

Aug 12, 2024 03:27:14.101 [134241219410576] ERROR - IsFileWritable: failed to create file '"/mnt/Media/transcodetemp/5c15c7fa-59f2-4af6-9b7c-4a571cf22206"'
Aug 12, 2024 03:27:14.101 [134241219410576] WARN - IsDirWritable: directory '"/mnt/Media/transcodetemp"' is not writable

I would like you to do the following:

1. Create a temp directory in /var/lib/plexmediaserver

sudo mkdir /var/lib/plexmediaserver/tmp
sudo chown plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver/tmp
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/plexmediaserver/tmp

2. In “Settings - Server - Transcoder”, set this new directory as the transcoder temp /var/lib/plexmediaserver/tmp

3. You stated above you have 7927 directories in use. Setting max_user_watches to 524288 is excessive and wasting kernel memory. Each slot uses 520 bytes of memory when empty and up to about 2KB whe used. Change back to 65536 for now and reboot the machine

4. Did you install all updates to the host OS? ( apt update && apt -y upgrade )
   I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and am here:

[chuck@lizum ~.1999]$ uname -a
Linux lizum 6.5.0-45-generic #45~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jul 15 16:40:02 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[chuck@lizum ~.2000]$ 

5. Your network appears to be IPv4 but you have IPv6 enabled in Settings - Server - Network.
   If this is true, please disable IPv6 . It will save difficulties down the road.

6. I’m still not understanding this. When the rest of the errors stop , hopefully this will be more clear.
