Hello everybody,I've been using OMV successfully for over a year in conjunction with the Plex plugin. Yesterday I stumbled upon the update openmediavault-plexmediaserver 3.8.2.After installing and restarting my NAS, but I still got the Plex-server-menu that there is an update for Plex. So has m.E. this update does not really work (but it is displayed in OMV, so on 3.8.2).What worries me most now is the fact that I can not add new content anymore. i mean movies or series. They are simply overlooked during the scan and ignored, so not found. Whereby I do everything exactly as usual, so you can rule out an error in the file and folder system.What have I done so far ?:-Plex disabled (OMV)Reboot of the NAS-Plex reactivated-New Qeullordner created (again nothing is found)Has anyone here the same experience can do? I have not changed anything on the settings or anything, just the update at OMV made under updates.
Plex cant find new added files after update openmediavault-plexmediaserver 3.8.2

Do you remember how you solved this? I have a very similar problem. Updated yesterday, spun the container back up, everything is working fine. Then I added 5 new albums and they wont show up. I rescanned 12 times, deleted the container created a new one, updated OMV rebooted 5 times, I cannot get it to pick up the new albums.

You are replying to a six year old thread that was started by a poster that has not made a post since then. Chances of him seeing your question are likely zero.
But, as is usual with Plex, the vast majority of problems like yours are caused by the ownership and permissions of the new files you added are such that the user Plex is running as can't read them. Look into that.

Since the topic is old anyway
What I find crazy is when running/streaming 4k through Plex, I would buffer non stop... When setting up a simple NFS share, have not had a single buffer. Funny how PLEX, designed for streaming, buffers.
-
Anything that streams can be the victim of inadequate bandwidth, inadequate processing power, poor choice of network protocols from those available, being forced to transcode vs being directly playable, poor quality source files, , some of the above or all of the above in combination, etc.

Will check it out. The odd thing is I add new music all the time, I drag it from my windows PC to my OMV box through file explorer, and everything just shows up. It seems to have just stopped. I will check permissions, and logs tonight.

To the best of my ability to know what question to ask when asking questions, I did indeed supply a lot of data on FS, Interfaces, protocols etc when trying to figure out why Plex would buffer 4K and the most common answer was "it's just plex's agreements with the media companies to throttle 4k media". Seemed a little vague and a scapegoat, but it is where I left it. Me changing noting but mounting an NFS did not help me doubt of their answer though. Also, I always did DIRECT PLAY, and 0 Transcoding, as they are 4k movies and all on same LAN Network. I am sure there is a lot more to it, and maybe even something on my end wrong. But that was where I left it... Sucks cause I loved using Plex but nothing I did would stop it from buffering.

Who said that?
-
I believe it was on Plex forum... In a bit I can look and see my old discussions and see if I can find it.

This turned out to be a corrupt database. I simply deleted the db and rebuilt. Sorry for resurrecting a 6 year old thread.

In the future you may find the DBRepair tool useful. Worth a try before deleting and rebuilding from scratch.

I was curious... I "tweaked" my TX/RX on the Server and Client NIC's [Both 10G] but everything is going through my Cisco SG350XG 10G Switch... Would I see any benefit enabling jumbo frames in terms of Plex streaming [local] 4k Movies...Not transcoding, I am direct play.

No benefit.
