I’ve tried to enable the new feature that was just released but unfortunately i can’t find it. I’m currently running Plex Server Version 1.24.0.4930 on a TrueNas server.
The server architecture is AMD based, could that be a reason why i can’t see the option?
Thank you.

I’ve got a feeling it could be a double whammy… TrueNas is BSD which I don’t think is supported, AND AMD processors not supported. Could be wrong though. I’d be interested to know too, as my set up is more or less the same…

AMD processors are definitely supported, however I don’t _think_ BSD OS platforms are.

According to comments in the blog post, if you run PMS via docker then sonic analysis should be available.

That’s not what TrueNAS Core does. It’s a FreeBSD Jail. It’s kinda~sorta the FreeBSD equivalent of a Docker, kinda. But still distinctly FreeBSD and not-Docker.
@drakaar you could run Plex in a full Linux VM under TrueNAS, if you’ve got the spare resources.
Or you could migrate to TrueNAS SCALE if you’re adventurous. That’s Linux-based and has ~normal Docker available.
(TrueNAS has said/implied that someday it will be possible to migrate to SCALE. Today it’s easy but tedious: Export storage pools, install SCALE on a different boot device, boot SCALE, attach storage pools.)

I haven’t investigated - does anybody know what the “not available on BSD” libraries are?

Thanks for the info. Migrating to TrueNAS SCALE is not an option, i have too many things that will need to be reinstalled/reconfigured. I have the resources to run a separate VM for Plex, but that will defeat the purpose of using TrueNAS in the first place and the database migration and everything is a total pain(i did it once, i don’t wanna do that again).
I guess i won’t have this function on my Plex for now.

A bit ironic. One of the reasons the old premium Plex Music was abandoned was because it was not available on FreeBSD as well (some API or library that was not supported on BSD by a partner company iirc). And now here we are back to the same issue.

I’m gonna have to look at Plex’s linked libraries on Linux vs. FreeBSD. Or what was recently added. I’m very curious what the components are.

It’s almost ironic that .NET has suddenly become viable on FreeBSD.

I suspect that TensorFlow is the challenge. It’s really hard to build on FreeBSD because it relies on Google’s build system, Bazel, which is also really hard to build on FreeBSD.

TensorFlow (incl Bazel) is already available on FreeBSD since 2017
