• Good morning

    From Michael Borthwick@21:4/132.1 to All on Wed Jan 16 16:14:17 2019
    Hi all,

    Nice day today. It's hot in town but we live by the sea so it's lovely
    here #seabreeze #lovetheocean.

    Hope everyone is working in a nice air conditioned building and not out
    laying bitumen on a new road somewhere..

    I'm doing battle with my Plex server which has suddenly decided not to
    download metadata for my media... grrrr.

    Good Morning! (it's 7:30am here as I write this).

    Have you tried Kodi it doesn't reencode your media but it will grab all the metadata you could ever want and it's real pretty! I have it on a pi attached to my tv and love it so far.

    Thanks for the suggestion :) I'll check it out. I'll give plex another
    week, perhaps its the service it uses for metadata that's broken.. if not
    I'll move to something else!

    Pity, it was working so well too :(

    The solution to the Plex issue is simple: check file permissions for the media files and then re-start Plex itself.

    That's good, I like when a "total SNAFU breakdown" is solved by a simple
    fix like a quick chmod or something like that.

    Enjoy your vids!

    Unfortunately it wasn't that simple. The permissions were fine, the
    folder and naming convention was fine... for some reason the plex docker
    in unraid just wasn't working anymore.

    I removed the docker and all plex config/cache files and installed the
    official plex docker.. same results... heck even people at plex couldn't
    work out what was going wrong.

    I was wasting more time than I wanted to so I spun up a vm with ubuntu
    server, installed plex, mounted the media shares on unraid via nfs, and
    in about 30 minutes the new server had downloaded all the metadata with
    cover images...

    Don't know what went wrong with unraid..

    If your Plex server is exposed to the internet, you'll want to make sure it's up-to-date:

    Welcome back. I'll be around a bit more myself for the next several days. Short lockdown, so lots of BBSing and ham radio. :)

    Probably cooler than our mild day today. ;) Back in lockdown for the next 5 days. All sport cancelled, can only go out for the 4 essential reasons, and never travel outside of 5k from home, unless it's an emergency. I get 2 hours to exercise each day. Today was a walk, picking up a take away coffee along the way. :)

    The noodly goodness starts at ~7:04 although there's some intersting stuff ìabout The Satanic Temple, and religion in general before hand, all looking ìfor equal representation as a legitimate faith as any other.

    I like the idea that the lack of pirates is causing global warming. And that ìthe clergy must wear pirate gear whilst espousing. And... the best part, ìeven here in Victoria you can wear a collander on your head for your license ìas its recognised religious gear. :)
