PLEX Plugin in 9.3 won't install

For whatever it is worth, it still seems to be happening:

This is my first install of FreeNAS, but I'm relatively experienced with FreeBSD. Since my STABLE build has the same date as the most recent NIGHTLY, can I expect to see a difference between STABLE and NIGHTLY?

Also worth noting that this is happening with every plugin, not just Plex.

 

[FireNAS]

I'm getting the same problem with the latest STABLE FreeNAS.

Also, this might be for another thread out there but will try to mention here. When I create a new jail, the only directory on the new jail is /usr. Where is the rest? Could this be a bug as well?

 

[Bobbyg387]

I have spent the past few days battling this problem as well. I've deleted all datasets, wiped my HDD, reinstalled 9.3-stable, upgraded to the latest nightly build, all to keep installing plugins for roughly 45+/- minutes just to get an error and see that it dropped a jail, but no plugin anywhere.

I though the problem could have been when I upgraded from 9.2.x to 9.3-stable, I still had a "stale" dataset, but since I have wiped and redid everything, I still get the error.

I don't think it is a permission issue because I haven't gotten to the point in install/configure where I set permissions. It could be in network configuration, but it still doesn't seem like?

I am brand new to FreeNAS and to servers in general. I will say that after spending countless hours trying to resolve this, I have learned to navigate the software pretty well lol

If I can't get this figured out, I'll probably just roll back to an older version so that I can at least start using the Usenet service that I'm paying for.

 

[Kirk Gleason]

Bobby,
That's a bummer. Mine was a brand new install -- new everything. Switching to the nightly from 1/30 seemed to do the trick. I've now install started 5 plugins. Working on getting the last one configured now.

 

[Bobbyg387]

It was a bummer, but now I've got them working too! I did update the latest Stable version and then did the nightly build update and that seemed to do the trick.

Can anyone guide me towards setting up the permissions?

 

[Tim Skinner]

Also new to FreeNAS, not to FreeBSD, I've been using it almost daily for the last 6 years through work.

Same problems here. I was doing a fresh install and was unable to install plex with the previously posted errors.

I tried the nightly build and that did the trick I was finally able to get the plex plugin installed but when I tried to add storage to the plugin jail to actually use it I was getting this error: Destination must begin with an alphanumeric character and may only contain "-", "_", ":", " ", and "." This seems to indicate that the destination field must start with a start with an alphanumeric and may only contain what is listed, that pretty much excludes everything possible and after trying all combinations of inputs I had to agree.

Ironically another thread says to fix the Destination bug you need to downgrade from nightly to the latest stable, which you cant install the plugin from.

I have reinstalled again using the 9.3-RELEASE version and that fixed both problems and plex is up and running.

 

[FireNAS]

I got the same errors with adding storage.

After hours and hours of frustrating trial and error. I decided to downgrade to STABLE 20150124. SSH the root and did pkg update and pkg upgrade. Installed PMS, Transmission, CouchPotato and Sickbeard smoothly after that. Then upgraded STABLE to the most recent one.

I am new user also and been trying for last 3 days to get these plugins to work with no luck. i tried stable, nightly and all but cant get it. Any of you guys who got it to work any advice or tricks?

Hello,

I am brand new to the Freenas, just built it a few days ago.

I was having this exact issue and I looked everywhere for an answer but couldn't find anything; currently running freenas 9.3 stable

I noticed someone mentioned updates, so I prodded around looking for anywhere where there could be some way of updating.

I fixed the plex plugin install issue by going to the left hand panel and going to:
system>update>check now

When I clicked on check now, it made a small list of updates for bugs i suppose? (im not quite sure)

Anyway, one of them mentioned something about plugins not being able to install when there is an apostrophe.

After the updates were installed, and the freenas rebooted, I tried again to install the plex plugin and it finally worked.

I havent made any further progress with it, as of yet, so im not 100% sure if it will function correctly, but i say this is progress at least.

Hope i helped someone out there :)

 

[Bhavin578]

Yea I did that and now the issue is the install can't find the directory to place the plugins. Can you list how you set up your volumes? Maybe am not creating it correctly. Thanks in advance

so update i actually got the plugins to download. But now when i click my computers network i dont see the nas listed.

 

[eddie408209]

That is good news!

Were you able to see the NAS listed in your network prior to this? (dumb question probably ha)

I have personally have trouble with the plugins and jails, they were being glitchy and wouldnt install correctly or erase completely (had to reboot to resolve)

I am also getting this exact same error running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201502050159.

Edit:
I got the same error installing plexmediaserver plugin, i just happened to save the logs of the same error occuring for sabnzbd. Clicking on jail shell auto closes as well.

 

[Bhavin578]

yea am back to the lab again since am still having same issues. i think the answer might be clean the usb and install totally fresh. will keep you guys updated.

I just did my 3rd clean install of FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201502060108

getting the following what I install plex:

join the club we all in the same boat

 

[flowgoode]

Just installed all updates for 9.3 STABLE and deleted all jail data sets, rebooted, and reinstalled. Plex plugin installed successfully!

Thanks, I can confirm that the latest stable build works fine!

 

[Bhavin578]

any chance you can share how you set up your volumes and jail config? Jail root?

 

[Ziferius]

Apparently, this is ongoing frustration - it's happening on the latest STABLE/Nightly build -- FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201502232343

 

[Ziferius]

just FYI, I didn't downgrade or anything -- just removed all my jails, rebooted. In this case, the crashplan plugin and corresponding jail installed fine. I neglected to reboot after a manual update last night.
