Hello,
I have Plex Media Server running on FreeNAS 11.2.
I’ve installed a FreeNAS plugin, set my IP and mount points to storage. I can scan library and play movies just fine, but metadata isn’t downloading. When i try to manually match a movie I get just a blank rectangle.
Subtitles from OpenSubtitles doesn’t download(I entered login and password and set OpenSubtitles to highest priority in Settings>Agents).
Even if I have subtitles named correctly in the same folder as the movie Plex don’t see them.
Posters are just random frames from a movie, titles are from folder/file name.
I opened logs and found HTTP 401 errors during searching for metadata. I added 127.0.0.1 to non-authorized hosts in plex settings but that didn’t help.
Jail in which i have Plex Media Server has internet access - I can ping imdb.com or 8.8.8.8
There is a full log - i tried searching for metadata for a movie at Dec 15, 2019 22:47 Plex Media Server Logs_2019-12-15_22-47-30.zip (887.6 KB)
Server Version#: 1.18.2.2058
Player Version#: 4.8.4
No, I use re0 network adapter with static IP assigned. With DHCP the jail is not created (DHCP returns address 0.0.0.0/8), with VNET only(static IP and gateway) the jail is starting, I have access to jails shell but i cannot access the web interface of plex from my computer(timeout)
VENT is needed for normal functionality of plex, this is default for for the FreeNAS plugin, if you have you’re own jail please do the same. You will need to enable “bpf” too for DHCP to work properly btw.
This would be in the HOST actually, if you don’t have VNET happens is that an ALIAS is set in the host interface which is then assigned to the jail, but the jails doesn’t have in practice and actual networks stack, you don’t have a loopback interface either which is actually the main reason for this issue.
But in any cause if you enabled “VENT” “BPF” and “DHCP” in the jail all should work fine.
If i enable all three options the jail doesn’t create - throws me error that adress is 0.0.0.0/8
If I enable just VNET and BPF jail is creating and starting but i can’t access plex web interface from other device in LAN
what address is it referring to? this makes no sense, if DHCP is on it should well use DHCP, no address should be defined.
In any case this type of problem is likely best put in FreeNAS forums, sounds like some UI issues, all we can say for sure is Plex REQUIRES VNET to work properly in a jail.
