Hi all,
Long time Plex user and tinkerer. Upgraded my old HP N54 to a beefier custom server with an i5 and more RAM. Also upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 (then did a fresh Windows 10 install post-serial activation to ensure a clean install). So far everything going swimmingly and transcoding etc for ‘official’ apps is much faster etc.
PlexConnect is a different story though. It seems that (from my primitive understanding of the logs) when opening up the TV Shows or Movies panes under my Library (single server, no shared libraries etc) PlexConnect seems to hang until it has loaded, slowly, js.utils. I did not have this previously on my other server and am still using the same SSD to store all the Plex files and meta data so I don’t believe file access times are being hindered. It’s now just thrown an error as shown below in the log, then it finally loads js.utils.
So far I have -
Attempted to mash together my old PlexConnect settings file, changing the newly installed one to more or less match, no improvement.
Rebuilt the certs and re-added, no improvement.
Disabled Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, no improvement.
Changes PlexGDM to False, no improvement.
I’ve copy and pasted the settings file and log showing the random delay. It also seems to take longer to load content than it did before. Am I missing something I should have already disabled in Windows 10 to improve things?
