Hello All, Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking to get some feedback on my build. Have already done my own desktop gaming build, but am intimidated by the world of server-grade hardware. I have a current selection of parts, but I am open to suggestions. What will I be using this for...

I went and setup on freenas 11 plex but when I add source & destination it never shows up why ?

Hey everyone, I upgraded to FreeNAS 11 and figured I'd upgrade Plex at the same time. I've had a Plex jail since 9.1 and it has worked well over the years. After upgrading to 1.5.6 (which is Plex latest) I started getting the screen in the screenshot attached. I don't know what to do next?! I...

Hello, I've run into some problems while trying to resolve some Plex plugin stutter issues. From what I gathered it's better to stay away from the plugin altogether so I went the route of removing the plugin and starting a new jail from a custom template using...

I installed plex into a Jail and it was working fine but now it wont start at all. I have tired starting manually with service plexmediaserver onestart and nothing happens. Here is the output from the shell root@Plex:/ # service plexmediaserver onestart Starting plexmediaserver...

Hello everyone. I am very new to FreeNAS and the forums, as I have just built my system and installed the OS not too long ago. Ideally, this is what I would like to accomplish: -Media Files in a dataset that is accessible through a share only by a group with approved users (not through guest...

Hello everyone, I'm upgrading my server setup after about a year of managing/sharing media and personal files on a Raspberry Pi 3 attached to a dual-enclosure JBOD arrangement of 2x 3TB WD Reds. The enclosure recently gave out on me (the drives are fine) so I've decided it's time for a solid...

This might be a bit long, so please bear with me. Relatively new user of FreeNAS, I set up a box 2 or 3 years ago and installed it as a document and media server, using Plex. I installed Plex via the plugins console. Worked great and really enjoyed it during this time. A few weeks ago I did...

Background: New to FreeNAS, goal is to serve Plex transcoding (1080p) TV and Movies for 1-4 users with a "future proof" server. I've loosely based this build from John Ramsden's Build. I'll likely also use this as a backup location for a few laptops. Proposed hardware: (mix of Amazon and...

Hello, I do not have much experience with FreeNAS, and I have a problem that I can no longer solve, I can not make the plugins appear to me. I followed a tutorial (video) to install PLEX and doing everything step by step I did not get it. I leave some captures with all the configurations to see...

Ok, so I know there is talk about both Jails/Plugins and Containers but I haven't really found anything while scouring the Forums or Interwebs (that I could really understand at least) that talked about how to decide which way to go when FN11.X comes out with containers? I am currently using...

Seems that all work on new Freenas11 except plugins. Plexmediaserver don't start When using the new interface, if I choose plugins, it goes to login page again. Is this still not ready?

Hi, I tried googling my answer, and some said it was related to encryption, but my drives are not encrypted so the jails should be able to auto reload to my limited understanding. When setting it up I followed this guide here...

Hi, For some reason the dropdown menu's in the GUI show duplicates (in small letters) of a couple of my datasets. Earlier I had the problem that the files in my datasets wouldn't show (could map the drive, open the folder and just saw the json config file). An extra complication is that I...

Hi, I just switched back to 9.10.2 from Corral. Everything went smoothly except the installation of Plex. On 9.10.2, after I installed Plex and set it up, I stopped the plugin and imported the backup of /var/db/plexdata I did in Corral. After that, the plugin failed to start. Sometimes I get the...

Hey guys I'm new to this whole FreeNAS thing so what happened is my boot media died (was a old flash drive i had laying around) so i have now reinstalled FreeNAS on fresh media. the system is a 8350 with 2x 3tb Toshiba 7200rpm so now i need to move my old plex jail into my new one i'm looking...

Buonasera a tutti! I have just switched back from Corall... I have install my Plex and Transmisson plugins like i have done for month during the 9.10 version and everything works. I have just tried to start a file that need to be transcoded, when i'm starting it i'm seeing a proble that say...

Hi Everyone I'm working through picking parts for a home server to be used as storage and will mostly be running Plex. What are your thoughts on the following components? Case: Fractal Design Define R5 CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1240 V5 Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSM-F RAM: Samsung DDR4 ECC 8Gb...

I just wanted to make sure I was taking the right approach on this. In configuring the Jail Root, I created a new dataset under tank volume. From my understanding, this is where future jails should be placed. I then set the Jail Root path to the jails directory (dataset) under tank. After...

Hi, so I've been having issues updating my Plex plugin. I keep getting "Error: There was a problem creating the PBI". I'm still stuck in version 1.1.4.2757. I've searched the forum and can't seem a way to fix it. I tried this below and it didn't work: 1. Login with SSH to your FreeNAS (or...

I had to do a fresh installation of freenas where after I imported my old pool which also contains all the storages of the plugin jails. The plugins I want to re-install are Transmission, Sickrage, Couchpotato, Plex, btsync. The transmission jail also had openvpn installed including my vpn...

I will give you an awesome tip for plex. It's not an advertisement, just a discovery I wanted to share with others. I discovered it recently and till now I was shuffling through the ip addresses of various servers of my family to access everything (I guess you're doing the same). First and...

Summary: I plan on building a NAS and using FreeNAS v10 (whenever it is released) to control 24 usable terabytes of space (RAIDZ2, 6X6TB). Wherever possible, I want to let the NAS be a NAS and offload applications and services to a separate Ubuntu server, but I’m learning that it makes more...

Hello I'm pretty new to freenas and for the past 3 months it's just been running as a NAS without any other functions. Now I wanted to enable Plex but I ran into a problem. I Installed plex, went to jails ->add storage and added my media folder as source and the media subfolder in the plex jail...

Sure looks like it to me. I've been following that thread over at the Plex forums. The devs have been skirting around providing an answer on the future of Plex on FreeBSD and some of the missing features. I recently saw one of the devs (don't remember who) mention some statistics that FreeBSD is...

my frenas 9.10 Plex last updated Why the library doesn't update automatically? Thanks

Buongiorno a tutti, dopo molte ricerche non riesco a trovare una configurazione adatta alle mie esigenze. Mi rivolgo quindi a voi nella speranza che mi possiate aiutare a scegliere le componenti più adatte per far girare: -Plex -OpenVPN -Torrentbox -Resilio Sync -Backup -Ubuntu/Homebridge La...

Hi everyone! I’ve been reading through the forums, but this is my first time posting! There’s quite a lot of information to read and digest. I’ve been trying to be a figure out my build all by myself, but I still have questions (read doubts) and would really benefit and appreciate any...

Peace. My new RAM (the old one was faulty) is in the testing-stage (memtest86+ with at least 5 passes (ETA 44hrs)) and I am currently working out how I will store, backup and access ~45TB of mostly media files in a smart manner (given my limited resources) in FreeNAS. My family consists of...

Hi all the masters of freenas I have Freenas setup with plex plugin working on it. I used had this awesome unofficial channel inside plex called "einthusan" (https://einthusan.tv/intro/) a great website to watch hindi movies free. It used to work fine but now this website owners have...

Hi there, I have been using Plex in FreeNAS 9.3 for about a year now and I usually do the settings through the GUI and I am not good with coding/script. My current hard drives are ZFS: Volume1 - 1x3TB & Volume2 - 4x5TB (RaidZ1) I am going to remove the Volume1 - 1x3TB and add another 5TB and...

Hi there, I have a FreeNAS box that is used for plex on the go for me, my father, and my brother. Currently, me and my father are in 1 location, and my brother is in another location on the other side of the country due to university. As my dad does not want the NAS on all the time (only when...

Hi Everyone, I have been thinking about a FreeNAS setup to replace an old Drobo 5N that I have. Will keep this short and sweet. NAS Priorities: Transcode & Stream (3 x 1080p - 20 Mbps Max) Plex Media - Mostly Movies & TV Shows (Acquired legally of course) Run Jails with Couchpotato...

I've tried upgrading the software inside the plugin jail, but after that failed I deleted the plugin, made a new jail, installed plexmediaserver-plexpass manually, and still got the following error: Shared object "libboost_atomic.so.1.59.0" not found, required by "Plex Media Server" Googling...

I recently set up a FreeNAS server with FreeNAS 9.10-U4 and I have the Plex plugin installed and running in a jail. In Plex there is an option for Plex to scan your library when something is changed, e.g. files are added or removed. I have checked that box and noticed that it doesn't work. I...

Hello Just curious about something. When setting up a FreeNAS server, you generally need a bit of CPU to support Plex transcoding. What are the benefits of this? Why don't people just serve their media files over the network and have clients like Kodi play them directly? It would save some...

Hello everyone. It's my first time posting here. I'm currently in the process of building a home server mainly to be used for file storage and media consumption with plex (other cases might arise in the future). I will mostly be storing movies, videos, Audio CDs, and photos along with the usual...

Hi, I've installed the plexmediaserver plugin via the freeness gui thereafter I executed the below commands on the jail in order to give the plugin write access to my datasets to which I added via the add storage on the freeness gui. service plexmediaserver onestop chown -R root:wheel...

Hello All! I too am wanting a Plex + Storage Server. Can you guys let me know your thoughts? I have been beating my head up on this for SEVERAL weeks now and after going back and forth from forum to forum to YouTube.. I HOPE i have something good now. Here is what I was thinking...

Hi, After reading this comment I decided to move the metadata folder of my Plex plugin (49.2GB at this moment) from the jail to a dedicated dataset outside the jail. This allows easy jail reinstallation in case of a plugin issue, which actually happened by the way, but that's another story...

Hi. So I have been running plex for almost 2 years on my freenas system and over a period I have digitized all my collection of movies/songs/series. I updated my plex server via gui like i always do and I noticed some of the files not showing on my tv with the message There are no items to...

Hi guys, I can't figure out why I can't connect to the Plex Web GUI after initial Plugin installation. When I go to where the web GUI should be - http://192.168.1.120:32400/web - I see "This site can't be reached. 192.168.1.120 refused to connect". I've disabled security for initial access...

I am attempting to set up one of my jails (plex) to have its own nic. Let it be known my knowledge of networking is a tad rough. I set up my server on address reservation through my router for the main server connection. I then tried to do same for setting plex to have its own ip based on the...

I have a NAS that is running extremely slow. When I transfer data using my Windows 10 computer i get around 5 - 10Mbps. It is mainly used for movies and I have Plex media plug in set up. I have it plugged directly into the router with a CAT6 cable. Originally I thought it was the switch that I...
