Hello

i have plex running as a Plugin on my FreeNAS FreeNAS-11.2-U6

so when watching a move it stopps and the plexserver did not respond to the IP address any more.

i did reboot. but did not work so far
so my question - to reboot plex to i have to do it on the Jail Plex or the Plugin Plex?
also a update - Plex say there is a update. should i do it over the jail-plex or plugin-plex?

have a nice day
vinc

If you want to manually update or reboot plex you can go to the Freenas shell.
On the shell it should be root@<name of freenas server>
In my case the name of my Freenas server is Nasgul.
Type in 'jls' and information on your running jails should appear.
Code:
root@Nasgul:~ # jls

Take note of the Jail ID (JID) and the Hostname of your Plex jail.
To update and upgrade any jail:
1. type jexec JID csh
2. type pkg update
3. type y when asked to confirm
4. once update completes type pkg upgrade
5. type y when asked to confirm

Code:
root@Nasgul:~ # jexec 4 csh
root@plex:/ # pkg update
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]:y
root@plex:/ # pkg upgrade
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]:y


Once you complete the update/upgrade, you can then restart the jail.
To get out of the jail by typing exit
Code:
root@plex:/ # exit


To reboot the jail, type iocage restart jail_hostname
Code:
root@Nasgul:~ # iocage restart plex


FYI, I too am having problems with Plex and it seems that I cannot update/upgrade to the latest 1.18.1.1973_1 version.
