Plex plug-in periodically stops working until a jail restart

[johnism]

I have had my Plex running for a couple years and am running TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1 with Plex plugging 11.3 with no issue until about a three weeks ago.
What happens is Plex no longer sees my share until I restart the plugin . When checking TrueNas was I see this the attached file .
Which leads me to believe something is failing on the swap ..

I see on the following post where it was more than likely swap ( and the error attached )

Plex service stopping inside jail

I can see a handfull of people are (or were) having issues with the plex service stopping inside the bsd jail. As am I. I'm running the lastest truenas, with a manually created jail and installed the plex server. It works really well but randomly stops the service. When I manually restart the...

I don't know if it matters ..but what version of jail(s) are you running? I'm on 13.1-RELEASE-p1 with no issues

Version 1.28.2.6106 of Plex​

Only time I have issues with Plex is when I have PBO and/or CPB enabled on my 3900x/X470D4U

do jails have to be manually update just like the plugin ?

I tired iocage upgrade <jail_name> -r no luck :(

there's an update button in the GUI that updates your jail to the latest on whatever version you have .. IF you are running 12 something .. then it will only update to 12. whatever

To Update to say 13 . .then you have to go into the main shell (not the jail) and type

Code:

iocage upgrade -r 13.1-RELEASE WhateverYourJailNameIs

I tired the button it fails

 

[johnism]

tried the code different 13.1,12.1-12.3 no luck . is there a way to set the jail to restart nightly ?

 

[ThreeDee]

are you running a plugin or a manual install? If the Plex plugin .. then you are stuck on whatever version of the jail the plugin is

That is why I switched to a manual install quite awhile ago .. all around easier to keep up to date with both Plex and the jail itself
