Plex

IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT SOME INFORMATION HERE IS OUTDATED

If you are unable to find your Plex server¶

You may resolve this by either

Installing Saltbox again (do this for new Plex DBs/installs):
THIS WILL DELETE ANY EXISTING PLEX CONFIGURATION SUCH AS LIBRARIES
Remove Plex Container (it may show "Error response from daemon: No such container" if not created yet):
```
sudo docker rm -f plex
```
Remove the Plex folder:
```
sudo rm -rf /opt/plex
```
Reinstall the Plex container:
```
sb install plex
```
Installing Saltbox again (do this for existing Plex DBs/installs):
THIS WILL LEAVE ANY EXISTING PLEX LIBRARIES AND METADATA INTACT

Remove Plex Preferences file.

sudo rm "/opt/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml"

Reinstall the Plex container by running the following command:
```
sb install plex
```
Using SSH Tunneling to log into Plex and set your credentials:
On your host PC (replace <user> with your user name and <yourserveripaddress> with your serveripaddress - no arrows):
```
ssh <user>@<yourserveripaddress> -L 32400:0.0.0.0:32400 -N
```
This will just hang there without any message. That is normal.
In a browser, go to http://localhost:32400/web.
Log in with your Plex account.
On the "How Plex Works" page, click “GOT IT!”.
Close the "Plex Pass" pop-up if you see it.
Under "Server Setup", you will see "Great, we found a server!". Give your server a name and tick “Allow me to access my media outside my home”. Click "NEXT".
On "Organize Your Media", hit "NEXT" (you will do this later). Then hit "DONE".
At this point, you may Ctrl + c on the SSH Tunnel to close it.

If Plex shows you an incorrect title with the filename (eg RARBG releases)

Reorder the Plex agents for TV/Movies so that local assets are at the bottom.

Replace user and group to match yours' (see here).

sudo chown -R user:group /opt/plex/Library/Logs
sudo chmod -R g+s /opt/plex/Library/Logs

Note: If you have a separate Plex and Feeder setup, this will be done on the server where Plex is installed.
