Plex Media Server not working on TrueNAS

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi there,

I upgrade my FreeNAS 11.3 to TrueNAS 12.0. This required me to update my Plex jail to 12.2 from 11.2. After the upgrades, now my Plex is not working. I have spent multiple hours trying to get this fixed but to avail. The plugin version is 1.25.6.5577 and release is 12.2-RELEASE-p14.

Any help would be appreciated. Sharing “Plex Media Server.log” information if that helps.

Thanks so much.

Plex is unable to write to the database.

Check ownership / permissions for the Plex data directory.

The last statement in the log snip you provided mentions database corruption. However, that might be due to the access problems.

I do not run truenas, so cannot help with specifics on correcting the problem. I searched the forum for “attempt to write a readonly database” and found a similar post from 2018. Hopefully it will get you pointed in the right direction: Plex won’t start/

Thanks so much for pointing that out and after changing the permissions and starting the service, the logs did not show those errors. So one bug down and another one popped up.

The new errors were like:

Mar 18, 2022 23:21:25.909 [0x81443a000] ERROR - Error issuing curl_easy_perform(handle): 6

Mar 18, 2022 23:21:25.909 [0x81443a000] WARN - MyPlex: Updating device connections failed, retrying in 10 seconds.

I reinstalled the plugin using the TrueNAS plugin interface and now my Plex seems to be working.

Thanks again for your help. :slight_smile:
