I have the latest plex public server and the latest Mac El Capitan

After updating plex server my monitor won't go to sleep when someone is streaming direct play

This only started happening after the new plex server update 1.xx, I have not changed my go to sleep monitor setting , is always been set to automatically go to sleep in 10 minutes , it has always worked before this new plex update

I checked the update info before I downloaded it and I didn't see anything it about it not working on 10.6.8. It was pretty disappointing to see the new PLEX application with a slashed circle. I'm only saying to at least give a warning beforehand so people running 10.6.8 don't download and try to install it.

I downloaded the new update and then the updater crashed. Why? Because the new PLEX Media Server application doesn't run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I had to look around for a backup PMS 0.9.16.6 application which is now apparently the last version of PMS to run on Snow Leopard. I'm in the unfortunate position that my iMac isn't upgradeable to a newer OS at this point as I don't have enough disk space to allow it to update. I can theoretically move my entire PMS database and Media Drive to my MacMini running El Capitan but I really don't want to be bothered right now. I'm not complaining about you leaving older Mac OSes behind. I'm only asking for a warning beforehand.

With TMDb selected as default, all agent settings, set as per Plex instructions, results in no extras and trailers. If I set Freebase as the default, I get extras and trailers, but resent movies don't seem to be found. Is it not possible to get extras and trailers with TMDb set as default?

Thanks

I'm running plex from a mac server and mostly watching on a Roku stick. If I stop a show or movie in the middle it does not remember it's place and shows and movies I've watched are still showing as unwatched. Help please!!

Brilliant guys, really pleased with the v1 release today.

BUT WHY NOT WARN ME BEFORE THE UPGRADE THAT I CAN NO LONGER RUN IT ON MY MAC MINI RUNNING 10.7.5?!?!

Sorry for the shout, but now I have NO server, and so far I can see, NO older version I can download.

I am new to PLEX. I am running the PLEX Media Server on my QNAP.

I had it running really well for about 24 hours. When I went to my Amazon TV with my Plex App this am it states: "Cant find server". The QNAP Web Page states "Looking for servers" with a spinning yellow wheel.

I can sign on to my Qnap easily from a browser page. But when I click on the PLEX icon on the QNAP home page it states: Safari can't open the page (IP address) because SAFARI can't connect to server.

Can any one help in this rookie question?

At the start of the year I moved to mainland Europe for work reasons. I previously had a home network that worked fine with my UK Sky Router and using wifi to connect to my Plex Server at home. The Wifi signal here doesn't carry as well, so i've had to change my network setup.

However, since moving my connection has been very unreliable. I haven't been able to nail down why my Plex server will be enabled for remote connections some days, and then some days be completely unavailable. And then come back, without reason. It's hugely frustrating.

I'm using a Fritzbox 7490 Router, connected to a TP-Link powerline adapter. The Powerline is connected to a TPLink Ethernet switch (TL-SD1008D), which is connected to my Plex Server, a Mac Mini running the latest OS update, on pretty much all the time.

Plex is running the latest update, 1.0.0.2261

Port forwarding is enabled on the Fritz Router, for port 32400, set by MAC address to avoid issues on restarts.

As of right now, the Plex Chrome player can connect anywhere in the house, from any device (using unsecured connection), but Plex Media Player Preview cannot connect on any device other than the Mac server. Apps work locally.

I'd swear it was an issue with the router, except that often I can't connect to my server even on the Mac Mini, which is the server!

So I'm conflicted as to whether I'm troubleshooting a mac / Plex issue, or a network issue. I'm betting on the latter, but I've exhausted my knowledge and research, so I could really use some help, if anyone has any suggestions!

it'd be really appreciated! :(

EDIT:
I just turned off the switch for a minute to reboot it. I can connect after it restarts.

I have also noticed the speed on the switch is probably throttling streaming - it was just some old hardware i had when I moved, so will probably replace that. However, I don't know if that's the only problem...

is there a way to access or have the plex server run as a service so it runs on my mac server if a specific user is not logged into the system?

as title says plex will not add this tv show to the library. The names of all the episodes are 100% from tvdb.com the file structure is plex friendly and I've tried deleting my tv library to update. Nothing works.. Can any one help please??????

How do I fix this, this is happening on my iMac and ATV4
I can't see my tv shows or movies unless I know the specific one and do a search on it. with the ATV4. can't see the playlist. with my web I don't see the dashboard but able to see the playlist on the left-hand side.

Thanks to this FAQ I went and deleted my video preview thumbnails and my directory went from 60GB down to 8GB.

I couldn't believe they can get that large, I get that it has to store metadata and album art but 60GB!

I've tried this about 42 times, but I'm having an issue adding any music to my Plex library. Movies & TV work just fine, but when I try to go to Music, I tell Plex to add my music folder and it doesn't do anything.

It is on the same drive as my other media, just in a music folder.

Any advise?

Thanks,

Q

Hi all, New to Plex but all was simple. Yesterday I installed Plex Server on my Macbook and purchased the Plex app for my 2 Android devices. For 2 hours or more I had my Apple TV 3 in my cast menu on all 3 devices, it cast flawlessly, even H265 files which my Apple TV wouldn't usually play, which is why I tested Plex and a great many other apps over the weekend.

As titled it just vanished, from everything. I have reinstalled Plex server on my Mac, restarted all devices including the router, I'm logged in on all devices. Overnight it hasn't returned. What's going on? Frustrating to say the least as this is an extremely good solution, the only solution to cast H265 files to Apple TV 3.

Since updating to Plex Media Server 1.0.0.2261-a17e99e on my Mac, if I'm using the Plex Home Theater or Plex Media Player on that Mac, it no longer updates the "Continue Watching" position on a movie or TV show. For example, if I haven't started a movie before and watch a portion of it, when I go back to the home screen, it doesn't have the continue watching option available.

If I watch something on Plex through the browser, that will update (also seems to works fine on Roku and Amazon Fire devices).

I have tried reinstalling the client as well as completely wiping the server and associated cache subdirectories without success. I couldn't find the previous installation files and couldn't figure out how to roll back the server. Anyone experience this or have any suggestions for me?

Thanks!

about half of my library in iTunes is MP$ the other half, M4V. Plex is not seeing the M4V movies...

1) is this a limitation of Plex?
2) is the a work around without having to convert ~260 movies?

Thanks in advance
Jeff

(more related errors here http://notepad.cc/ceaviwu57)

Obviously the PMS Web is saying things like "There was an unexpected error loading the dashboard" and when trying to optimize the library "an error occurred"

Whats the deal here? Update corrupted the database? Do i need to restore from backup?

PMS is on a mac mini, OS X El Capitan. Current Version 1.0.0.2261

How you can reproduce the bug:

• When creating a new library, select Movies as the library type
• Add media location
• Specify Scanner as “Plex Movie Scanner” and as Agent “Personal Media” and complete creation of the library
• Once created, you will find that the created library is now a Home Videos library

According to the help pages and the descriptions of how to use our own metadata contained in mp4 files, we should use the Personal Media Agent. This works very well, with the exception of the described bug/error.
It would be great if this could be fixed.

Thanks for creating a great product.

i'm currently running el capitain and just installed plex. now anytime i want to make any changes to my folder that i added to my library it says "finder wants to make changes" and it asks for a password. i looked at the folder settings and i still have read/write privileges.
