As evidenced in the forum thread Tautulli been running fine but now can't start, the transition from Python 2 to 3 has been somewhat bumpy for Tautulli users on FreeNAS. The Tautulli FreeBSD/FreeNAS Installation Instructions lends itself to scripting, however, it leaves the Tautulli database in...

Hi there, I already posted that, by mistake in the introduction area, but that was not the place to get feedback on my config ... apologies My Synology DS415play does not satisfy my demands to PLEX any more, so I would need to get a new one. I build a custom PC for the same price as the...

I'm currently in the process of preparing to upgrade my primary server from 9.10-u6 to 11.2.u4.1. Which also means that I'll be making the transition from Warden to iocage Jails. For the most part, I'm gonna take the opportunity to redo some of my Jails from the ground up but as I have a few...

I know that is not the primary use of FN to trans-code video, but since plex and emby are there, why not use them. i believe most of us make use of them for home setups. was thinking of building a chart of reference between cpu models and trans-coding capabilities based on real life builds...

Hello! This is my first second time designing a FreeNAS box. Now that I've had some time to research and save, I'd like to have another go at this. Currently, I have data stored on a few external/desktop HDDs and I can't see that being a viable option for the near future. My main goals are...

Hello, I've been toying with the idea of buying/building a proper home server, which would primarily be used for Plex, in order to off-load the media server handling from my main PC (Plex doesn't play nice with my VPN) and consolidate my storage instead of having WAY too many external drives...

Hello all, I'm new here and this in my question: How do I upgrade plugins? I have FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1 installed and 3 plugins: Plex, Transmission and Nextcloud. Let's take Plex for example: The current installed version is: 1.14.1.5488, and I get the prompt that a new version is available. In...

I have watched the version number of the Plex plugin listed in the "available" screen tick up several times since I installed it. Just last night it updated from 1.15.5.993 to 1.15.5.994. However, selecting "update" on the plugin in the "installed" screen apparently does nothing. It...

So, in case any of you are wondering, I built a second FreeNAS box and wanted to try out the EPYC. I mean, I get to say EPYC and it's got 8 cores / 16 threads. So I bought one here at SuperMicro, through a reseller. It's small enough to fit in a 16" deep network rack...

I've got a windows Vm on my Freenas server and I was hoping to pass through the optical drive through to it so that I can rip some bluerays to store on my NAS, I thought it would be like moutning a drive to a jail but I can't seem to get it going. Anyone else ever had success with this? I'm...

Hello, I don't update my plex and freenas version for a while. I just migrate Freenas from 9.10 to 11.2 U3 and do the migration of the Warden to iocage for plex. Now I need to show the plugin in the new UI and I don't know what to do. I have an old plex version (1.7.5) and I need to upgrade to...

Hi, Starting this new thread as advised by @dlavigne as the previous thread has been quiet for over a year. FreeNas 11.2-U3 set up and running fine with several jails (Plex Server, Home Assistant, Transmission) + Ubuntu VM for PiHole. I've tried to follow @bollar instructions here to add...

My PlexIMGS folder has no permissions set for some reason. I checked but was unable to find a location where these permissions are granted. I am trying to save pictures to a folder, but it won't let me. I just got this working and I am scared that I might screw something up. .

So I currently have PMS running 1.15.2.793 and Plex apparently released an update to 1.15.3.876. For some reason, I can't update to it. According to my FreeNAS jail, all of my packages are up to date, but Plex isn't installed (because I use the plugin rather than install via jail.) I ran this...

Have you all seen this? I have to admit I'm impressed they could fit that in this chassis.

I have only found one thread on this topic, with no real answers. I have a Plex plugin managed by iocage, but have recently purchased Plex Pass. Do I need a Plex-Pass plugin to make use of the Plex-Pass features? What's the difference between those two plugins? If there are features in the Plex...

Hi, I want to be able to Hardlink/Symlink from my transmission folder to my Plex folder so my media doesn't take up double the space considering what limited space I am working with.
