oops ill upload them now, my mistake.

I have just updated the logs let me know if this is correct

5

I don’t see where it’s going offline.

Can you be of help?

(Sorry for delay. I had an equipment failure knocked me offline)

all good yeah, I just lose access to my library though I can still access the Plex address but there is no content on it until i restart the container then it all comes back online. it happened just before while i was watching a tv show, the show kept playing on tv, though i couldnt access my library through the web ui or the mobile app untill it was restarted.

7

is your mobile app / web player on the same subnet as the TV ?

8

yes. local.

9

all on the same RFC-1918 subnet ?

Can the TV start new episodes AFTER you lose access from Web/App ?

10

im not 100% sure though it still played the whole episode despite no content accessible on other devices. been using plex for years never had this problem till now.

11

no content shows up through my dockers web ui either, untill restarted.

12

So this is a failure of the server / DB itself on a daily basis.

Have you run DBRepair on it to clean up the junk records in the DB as well as other options to clean the junk files ?

13

i just tried refreshing meta data about 30 mins ago. ive just clicked empty trash right now.

14

I’m speaking of using this tool.

Have you ever looked at it & run it from inside the container (command line) ?

15

no ill give that a go now

16

Read thoroughly please. There’s a lot of detail.

I did my best to provide answers and instructions.

ASK if you have any questions

17

thanks

im having problems trying to shut down plex inside the container to continue, pressing 1 tells me to manually close plex but when i stop the container the terminal dissapears and i cant access it when container has stopped.

19

whose image are you using?

Most images will have controls you can invoke from the command line.
(DBRepair detects all the common images )
