I'm fairly new to FreeNAS (loving it so far). I tried searching for a solution to this, but I got nothing. I'll just get right to it: I installed the PlexMediaServer plugin. Things were working as expected. Plugin shows in Installed plugins and "plexmediaserver_1" jail is there and working...

Hey everyone, I recently brought my backup FreeNAS box on site for some regularly scheduled maintenance (upgrading drives, yea!). I had wanted to reorganize my plex library for a while (the underlying folder structure) but didn't want to have to replicate changes that would result from...

Alright so I updated plex with the update button in the GUI, and the plugin wouldn't start so I got to googling, I found the /var/log/messages which said it was exiting with signal 15. I tried to research the exit code but all I found was someone who had to change the ownership of...

Granted I'm newer to the freenas world, I've built a FN server and a plex media jail on top of it with no issues. I've been using it for a year and it's been great buy my storage on my humble little setup is running close to its limits. I want to add to it, but realize I won't be able to do that...

I had issues with this in the past and never got it resolved but now I'm having to revisit this task. I wouldn't think this would be so hard but I've had no luck with remote access on my plex server running on FreeNas. I called my ISP, since they NAT IP addresses by default and had them remove...

Hi, I recently added another router (Google Wifi) to my network and moved my nas to the new router and in doing so the ip for the nas changed from 192.168.1.147 to 192.168.86.147. Since the change I have not be able to find the plex server. the plex web UI says it can't find the server. I...

Many of us run ZFS for myriad purposes. For those who use it in DCs or “work” purposes, I salute you, but this thread is for media enthusiasts who love ZFS for many of the same reasons, but have very different workloads. I imagine an ARC that is told to load files in anticipation as I and my...

I went over to someone's house and tried to show them a movie on my Plex server, which is hosted in my house. I could only get a 480p stream going and if I went to 1080p if refused to even load the movie. In my house, the movies loaded fine in 1080p. (I am new to FreeNAS) Speed test: My...

I had plex running and ended up having to move all of the data to new HDDs to upgrade them. I had some trouble installing plex, so I tried a fresh install on a new USB and I am still getting an error. I failed to copy what the original error was, but my current error is below. Any idea on what...

Dear FreeNAS community, I am exploring the capabilities of the FreeNAS 11 and FreeNAS in general. In particular, I have installed the PLEX plugin, following this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaiBWJ2r2Hg), the only difference is that the jail and the multimedia datasets are inside the...

I've been running FreeNAS and Plex server separately for many years. I'm about due for a complete hardware refresh for both and would like to condense the footprint a bit. I'll be north of 60 usable TB on the updated build and plan to supply the appropriate amount of memory to appease FreeNAS...

Hi there, I've recently installed freenas 11 and the plex plugin, I can connect to the web browser and login with my plex pass account, but there's no option for me to add folders from the NAS. It's almost as if it's installed the client side version of plex.

I made the mistake of upgrading PLEX to plexmediaserver-1.8.4.4249-amd64 last night (from the FreeNAS interface - Plugins / Installed / Update). This is a jail running on FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534. Since the upgrade, the web UI is broken on my Samsung TV (used to browse to it with the...

Recently I had to replace my cable modem. This involved a change of the subnet mask. We used to have 192.168.0.xxx and now all the IP addresses in my network start with 192.168.178.xxx, including my FreeNAS server. It seems to work okay now, except I can't set the service status of...

I don't understand all the details, and I don't care that much. But this is clearly a thing. I am just going to put it out there for you all, and invite you to adjudicate the situation for yourselves. On or around 18 August 2017, the Plex people sent out a mass email, indicating that there...

Hi all, Brand new to the world of FreeNAS - Haven't even bought the hardware yet. However, I just have a couple of questions, but my main one is regarding RAM... Ok, so ECC RAM is STRONGLY recommended, and it seems to be a topic that is debated quite a lot when discussing FreeNAS. However, I...

Hi dear FreeNas Friends, I am as new as you can be to FreeNas and wonder if an application like Sonarr tells you there is an update available, could you run it and would it be OK to do so or is a jail something more static? With Plexmediaserver for example, they screw every 5th patch the watch...

My router has a "security assessment" function from Trend Micro. I clicked on it last night, and most things turn up "OK". The exception is for uPNP being enabled (see attached screenshot). I did some online reading and found several opinions stating UPnP is a security risk. So I disabled...
