(The BackGround) I built a NAS in late 2016 to act as a plex media server. This is the only function i need the machine to perform. When i built it i think the version of freeNAS was 9.3, it ran beautifully. It wasn't the fastest machine on the plane but it could support 5 or 6 simultaneous...

Hi all. I've got a newly built FreeNAS system (details in my sig) onto which I'm trying to migrate my existing Plex library, currently held on a Synology DS216j. I'm having problems getting the new Plex server to run after I overwrite its settings with the old data. I've got a question on the...

Has anyone had any success in installing Telly in a FreeNAS 9.10 Jail. I have created a standard jail and done the pkg update and upgrade. I have then fetched the telly-1.0.3.freebsd-amd64.tar.gz release from GitHub, but when I try to extract the executable using tar, i get and error message...

dear community, I installed the plex plugin and tried to access it with the jails IP but I receive the message: Website took too long to respond. I already tried to ping my jail which worked. I also tried to ping my router from my jail which worked the plex service is up and running any...

So my plexpass iocage jail is unable to write although the fstab entry indicates it should be able to. iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/MediaVolume/Media /mnt/media nullfs rw 0 0 This is what was entered when the jail was created and what the fstab listing depicts. The plex jail is unable to...

I have tried and tried to get Plex to see my TV shows and one time it worked. Then I starting setting up some other plugins, deleted the original mount point for plex due to those issues, and I have not got it to work since. Been working/reading guides for 4 days now trying to figure out why it...

Hi all, I have today a Super PC that running FreeNas for a few years and I am very happy with it. As the time pass I doing more and more with my home server and I think it is time to move to a real server. Becuse this is for home use I dont looking to spend to much on it but I do want to but...

I'm new to FreeNAS but had been using Plex for about 5 years until about 2 years ago, when my old NAS stopped supporting the latest version of Plex. I've also used *nix computers since the late 1970s, but only returned to BSD when I started using FreeNAS. I started following "Installing Plex...

Greetings everyone! I am very new to using FreeNAS, but I was able to setup a Plex server for home media use. The problem I'm having is that Plex has disappeared from the left menu and the plugin is set to OFF. When I try to set the plugin to ON, it doesn't start and it says "Some error...

Hi! My current setup is an Supermicro X11SSL-CF and an Intel Xeon E3-1245-v5. Recently I realized that my Plex Server, when transcoding, is not using the hardware acceleration provided by the QuickSync feature that the CPU provides. What do I need to do (in terms of hardware and software) for...

Hi, I've been lurking around the forum for some time getting ideas to build my FreeNAS for my Plex server. I bought a Norco RPC-4224 to use with my 24x 8TB shucked from BestBuy easystore. I'd probably go with RAIDZ2 for this setup. Now I need some help with the idea that I have: buy a Dell...

Hop into the root of your plex jail via SSH and install 2 packages that are not installed in the 11.1 template by default. pkg install wget pkg install p5-Authen-SASL-2.16_1 This will install the supporting software to run the script. Head over to https://github.com/ryanakata/PMS_Updater...

So I decided to add a mirror set of 240g ssd's to my freenas box and seeing as iocage is the way things are heading I would like to know how to activate iocage to use my ssd pool (Named: Jails) for Plex etc.. instead of my primary pool (Tank) I have previously activated iocage on Tank (iocage...

All, I have installed two pluging (Plex and GitLab) on 11.2-Beta, the following has been observed. 1) install with dhcp - unable to install with a static IP Address (different problem - maybe) 2) look in plugins/install and they are shown 3) change the IP address of the Jail (only for GitLab)...

I set up plex in an iocage jail using the following. echo '{"pkgs":["multimedia/plexmediaserver","ca_root_nss"]}' > /tmp/pkgs.json iocage create -r 11.1-RELEASE -p /tmp/pkgs.json -n PLEX ip4_addr="vnet0|192.168.74.2/24" defaultrouter=192.168.74.1 vnet=on boot=on allow_raw_sockets=1 iocage exec...

I wrote this script as a learning experience to allow me to quickly install these apps in an iocage jail so I could experiment with the apps and not disturb my working ones. Originally I wrote it with installing mono 5.12 from ports. Now that mono version 5.10.1.47_3 is available, the apps can...

Hi guys, so I've been trying to install plex on docker recently and I'm running into a few issues. When I install plex with the default settings and dont give the config folder a specific location it seems to work a dream. But the moment I map the config folder to a specific place outside the...

Please see the image attached. My jail has listed the destination as Media as advised by all guides/videos for plex. However when I go to install new Library the display path is a little different. Tried various things but I couldn't navigate to the output path. Could someone help and let me get...

I'm on FN 11.1 U5. I can install the plex plug in. It starts fine and I can go into it as normal. When I attempt to add storage for the PMS. The plug in does not start at all anymore. Once I delete the storage for the jail then the PMS plug in starts as normal. As a secondary issue that I have...

Hello everyone, i've been using Plex on a iocage Jail since this guide ( https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/fn11-1-iocage-jails-plex-tautulli-sonarr-radarr-lidarr-jackett-ombi-transmission-organizr.58/ ) came out. Everything was working just fine until a week ago, when i started...

Hi All, I am pretty new to FreeNAS and NAS in general. I am thinking of building a FreeNAS instead of buying. I am considering of buying a used a machine. I came across a few. Below is the config for the ones i am thinking of buying. It will be around 100-150 euros. First machine:- Gigabyte...

So I don't have enough storage in my FreeNAS 11 server yet to transfer all my media content onto it yet. However, I'm wanting to run my Plex server on my Freenas server instead of on my Windows desktop. My plan to do this was to mount my Windows shares to Freenas and then add them to the Plex...

So I followed the popular "Install Plex in a jail for FreeNAS 11.1" instructions to clear up some permissions issues I was having. Everything worked great, including my camera sync functionality. In doing so, I blew away my original PMS_Updater.sh script. So I went back to follow the...

Happy Memorial Day, This is sort of a dual FreeNAS/pfSense question... I've done all the setup in pfSense to port forward my Plex port to the IP address assigned to Plex in FreeNAS, but it doesn't work. The question is, could it be that the port needs to be forwarded to the IP of FreeNAS...

Hello Everyone, I put together a list of parts based off some other builds I've seen for my first Freenas build. The link will be below to my full list. I am looking for advice on if my system will be able to support my goals and if all the parts are compatible before I purchase it. My goals...

Hy Guys, this questions and its answer is somewhere out there and has been asked 1000 times i guess, but i cannot find the solution. I have a freenas box running (FreeNAS-11.1-U2) and Plex Media server (1.12.2.4929) installed on it via the plugins. Everything worked like charm BUT after...

Where I have been living, I have decent internet service connected to a wifi/router. I have a PLEX Pass Pro and have several accounts set up. I am moving to a new house with no wired internet available. I have a Jet Pack hot spot, but the problem with that is how to connect it and build a...

I am looking to build my first FreeNas box. I want to use it to store family photos and files and run my Plex Media Server. I need to support 8 uses at any given time transcoding files from plex. I have read the recommended hardware guide and many build posts. Here is what I have so far: CASE...

Hello, I have been using FreeNAS for quite some time (with Plex), but am still relatively unfamiliar with the intricacies of managing it. I recently upgraded to FreeNAS-11.1-U4 and also just upgraded my ZFS pool. When I moved to FreeNAS 11, I started getting some weird errors with Plex...

Hi Everyone So as the header suggests suggests I'm still running version 9.10.2 U6 on my nas server. The only thing I really use it for is storage and plex. Is it time I upgraded? My only concern is that my plex jail might stop working, as I have seen many threads saying just that after...

Hi Anyone have any preference of the Plex Plugin vs Standalone instance on a VM in FreeNas? I see the plugin is behind in versions, but thats about it? Can I access shares from FreeNas on a Ubuntu Plex Instance? (Im guessing you can) Ill can try both but though a discussion would be good...

I followed the guide here for installing Plex in an iocage jail, and it worked just fine. I'm considering getting a Plex Pass, though, and that requires a different server program to use it. So what is the recommended way to switch from plexmediaserver to plexmediaserver-plexpass without losing...

Hello all. Currently seeing an issue where my Plex server just will not load any thumbnails. I found this thread relating to my problem but, for whatever reason, my plex server will not get out of the "/var/db/plexdata/Plex Media Server" location and look at just the "/media" location I mapped...

Thank you in advance! Let’s start with what happened. The other night I was attempting to add a 3rd party add on to my plex. I followed a YouTube video using FileZilla. Well everything that could go wrong went wrong. Not only did I totally screw up the FreeNAS, I also messed up my PC and had to...

Yesterday, I had to restart my FreeNAS (had to move it), and after restart, Plex was not working any more (did not find media files). This is my setup: - Plex running in a Jail (installed via Plugins) - I created some folders within the Jail (e.g. /usr/local/plexdata/Plex Media...

interesting query that i am having issues with: i have a Plex server setup with (in the jail) mounts that are /media/tv_shows and /media/movies. that has been working all fine and dandy but now i seem to have run out of space, no big deal i have a couple drives lying around until i can afford...

Hello. It might come as an off topic but I thought this would be the best place to discuss this. I could go to plex forums with the same question but I find this forum to be more helpful. (PS I only have a handful of posts on Plex forums:D) So anyone who's used Rasplex on the Rpi3 must have...

I'm strongly considering using FreeNAS for a home server I'm planning, but I've never used it before so I set it up in VirtualBox to make sure I know the ropes before diving in headfirst. It seems like a good fit but I've hit two big problems and I don't know if it's because I'm running FreeNAS...

Hey Guys, I'm new here and I registered solely for the purpose of creating this thread. I have been searching this forum, Plex forum, YT and everything that google threw at me but I couldn't find the answer to my question. "How to make Plex transcode in RAM on FreeNAS?" Is there a way? Can I...

I apologize for the long post ahead of time. I'm not getting any traction on another post I created a while ago, so I'm trying here. About 3 years ago when I setup my freenas box using Freenas 9, I setup my Main volume as a Unix volume. I then created 2 datasets, DS1 and Media. DS1 is a...

Hello, I have been attempting to set up plex in a new iocage jail over the last couple days. I can get everything up and running, and plex media server scans my files just fine. Plex never loads any metadata or posters for the media, however. I also can't play anything back that needs to be...

So, some backstory. I have pretty much nothing but plex installed, plus the necessary jails and storage. Every time the server restarts of the power goes out and i have to turn it back on. Plex refuses to boot up. I get a "This site can't be reached", the exact same page you get when putting in...

FN10 Docker convert here - jumping into iocage because warden is going away. I liked the Plex container in FN10 because it would pull the latest release when you restarted the container. I haven't gotten there yet (because I'm writing these for all of my old containers), but this is better than...

I am not 100% sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I figured I would give it a try. I have a FreeNAS build using the following hardware: Chassis - Supermicro 846BE16-R1K28B Motherboard - Supermicro MBD-X10SRH-CLN4F-O Memory - Crucial 16GB ECC RDIMM DDR4-2400 x2 (32GB) CPU -...

Alllllll right. I have finally freed myself from the bindings of Corral and I'm back on the train. Corral's method of handling Docker was just amazing. It hid much of the complexity and let an idiot like me get up and running with minimal knowledge of Docker. After some wrestling with RancherOS...
