Hi Frank

Thank you for your add ons.

Just migrated from Pi to Ubuntu Server, using your instructions here https://gist.github.com/frenck/32b4f74919ca6b95b30c66f85976ec58. Worked great, thanks.

When I try to run the Plex Add-on it just doesn’t start, there are no error messages on the plex log or in the home assistant log. I click start, the circle shows for a few seconds and then the start button turns red, and then goes back to normal.

I have added the claim code in the config and update it after it expires. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the add-on, restarted home assistant and rebooted the server, still doesnt work.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Greg

Found that the Unifi Community Addon also uses port 1900, see conflict mentioned in Plex Addon Readme about AirSonos confilct https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-plex/blob/master/README.md#airsonos-add-on-conflicts

Disabling the Unifi Addon or Changing port 1900 on the unifi addon allows PLEX to start.

Can anyone tell me what won’t work if i change port 1900 on the Unifi Addon?

Does this container support Hardware Acceleration for Transcoding (Intel Quicksync) ?

I’ve installed this addon but don’t have the “Use Hardware Acceleration” Checkbox under Transcoding Settings.
Can you maybe implement this?

Thank you for your great work.

52

Do you pay for Plex Pass? Hardware transcoding is a paid feature of plex, not a standard feature.

The configurator simply doesn’t work. I’ve even manually configured using the plex.conf method.

55

Are you referring to the Plex media player component? That is different than this PMS add-on.

Hey guys,

Does anybody know if NFS mounting is possible yet. I managed to mount my Synology to Hassio, but the Media server doesn’t see any files. Using the SSH addon

mount -t IP:/volume1/Film /share/nas/films

did the trick. I see the mount in the df overview and ls gives me the files as well. But they don’t show up in Plex :frowning:

Plus; I cant seem to create a persistant /etc/fstab file. Any ideas on that?

60

it is possible if you fork the repository and edit the plex.sh file found in plex/rootfs/etc/cont-init.d. I was able to mount my USB drive by adding the mount command in that file. You can probably figure it out with some trial and error.

Hi Robert, did you make it work?
