man is there any way to force direct play or nah because it always tries to convert it which just leads to it buffering, but if i switch to "original quality" it works perfeclty with no buffering and yet it insists on transcoding it and, no, setting the default quality to "maximum" doesn't do that, unlike you'd think. it just makes it transcode it higher.

Just got a new Shield Pro 2019 to go with my LG C1 so I can move the old Shield with the C7 to a new room. I have some Dolby Vision rips, but it's only showing the HDR logo when they start up in Plex. Other apps like Disney+ or Netflix are working with DV though. Am I missing something? It's also not playing the Atmos track. Edit: I found another thread that said try it a few times since apparently it can be intermittent. Now I'm getting DV/Atmos to work about every other time I hit Play. Annoying and unexplained, but it works I guess. KingKapalone fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jul 10, 2021 |

Plex defaults to having a remote streaming cap of 2 megabits and your videos are almost certainly well above that. Your friend needs to adjust their default settings.

hbag posted:are there any good ways to improve the connection for people im sharing my server with Your friend has to adjust their quality settings so that they direct play content from your Plex server/NAS, otherwise your NAS will be forced to transcode and that's no bueno since a NAS isn't really equipped to handle proper transcodes (unless you buy a Plex Pass for your account/server and enable hardware transcoding, which I think your NAS is capable of). Also keep in mind that your internet upload speed has to be able to exceed your media bitrate, otherwise that's another avenue which causes client buffering. [edit] So for example, if your ISP has an upload of 5Mbps and a movie your friend is trying to play is 10Mbps, they will buffer into oblivion. teagone fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Jul 10, 2021 |

Is there a guide to which logs have what in them? Looking for network or crash issues. In the last week I started getting a seemingly random (couple of times over a 30 minute episode) error where playback stops and it says I’ve lost connection with the Plex server. Everything’s on a local LAN, hard wired, and I haven’t made any intentional network changes lately. Plex is in an LXC container on proxmox, container looks stable I tailed the main log but when the event happened it just appeared to rotate (tail -f stopped) and there was no crash info in the new log. The Apple TV client has no connectivity issues with anything else. edit: just happened again message on the client UI is “Can’t continue playback because the connection with your server was lost”

So, at some point in the last 3 hours all of the devices on my home network have suddenly stopped being able to access my master server remotely. This seemed to have happened in the background as we were streaming something to the TV via its plex app. I've restarted the physical computer it's running from, installed any lingering plex updates and doublechecked it on the same wifi network (it is). When i boot up the master server it loads up on the machine fine and i can run all of the content. However, when i try to access the server via the webclient at app.plex.tv, i can log in but it can't find the server. The webclient also seems to have a new bluish interface that isn't the same one that loads up when i run the media server, but i dunno if that has anything to do with it. My next stop is to clear my cookies and restart again but does anyone know what else i should try? edit: I'm wondering if it's the remote access settings bugging out for some reason (even though it shouldn't be remote access on my home network as far as i'm aware). When i load up the plex server it says that it's not available outside your network, however there's a number in the manually specified public port box below that already. When i hit the retry button next to that it then tells me that the server is fully accessible outside my network. But, still no dice with app.plex.tv on the same machine and when i refresh the browser tab for the server the message reverts back to saying it's not available outside my network. I'm a bit stumped now to be honest because i've restarted everything (including my home network) i'm out of things i can think to try short of uninstalling everything and trying to set it all up from scratch.

Hed posted:Plex is in an LXC container on proxmox, container looks stable Gonna blow your mind here: `tail -F log` will periodically check the filehandle for freshness and make sure you're tailing the live file. This is how you can leave a log tailing "forever" through rotations. Hed posted:Even though I've been using the new one since it was released, I switched my ATV Plex client to use the old player and haven't had any issues. Remember that even if you haven't updated your plex LXC container the appletv one force updates without your permission any time Plex tells it to do so, which can have odd interactions with your server. I would try giving plex an unlimited amount of ram (triple or quadruple your current amount) and see if it solves the issue. Run a database optimize, clean bundles, and perhaps just upgrade plex itself if you haven't in a long time. In the Troubleshooting section of your server admin panel (towards the bottom of the left hand sections) you can download all the logs and just have a look see there as well asynchronously. Do it right after a crash.

This is what the `-F` is meant to handle specifically. `-f` will handle truncation cleanly ("echo blah > log.log") but will not handle the inode changing. You can set it to follow the name (default, at least in ubuntu linux and centos) or the descriptor with -F. Try it out! Fire up 3 terminals. Try `tee` with and without the `-a` option, and `tail` with `-F` and `-f`. Don't forget to kill the while look when you're done.  Term 1: ~/logs$ while true ; do echo log | tee -a log.log ; sleep 1; done Term 2: ~/logs$ tail -F log.log log ... log tail: 'log.log' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory tail: 'log.log' has appeared; following new file log log Term 3: ~/logs$ mv log.log log2.log

This is how you can leave a log tailing "forever" through rotations. Thank you. I didn’t know about tail -F. I only occasionally update the container’s server software so you’re right with the Apple TV it’s hard to peg to a certain client/server software combo but I did just put it up to 8GB/8GB swap. It’s not a huge deal to throw hardware at it since I have 96GB on the box but still odd it’s now a problem. I haven’t really been around to see if this fixes. I will try the optimize/bundles stuff and see if that drops consumption at all.

I don’t have a good answer for you, but I have a DV file that doesn’t play correctly on my DV-enabled TV if I try to play it on my standard player (AppleTV4k). However, if I play it with the Plex app on the LG C8 itself, it plays fine. I’m taking that to mean the file itself is ok and Plex is still sorting out issues with DV compatibility in its different apps.
