Frequent but Intermittment inablility to Launch PMS from within Seagate Personal Cloud

Currently, launching Plex from within my Seagate Personal Cloud and from my ROKU device is problematic; sometimes I can Launch and sometimes I can not. When I can't launch from the Personal Cloud, I get the message that Internet Explorer could not open the PMS (IP Address was correct). When 'failing to launch' using ROKU I get the message "No Server can be found. HOWEVER, Recently, after a long period of being unable to launch, I went into the Apps-Manager-App within the Personal Cloud and noted that Plex was running. As I could not launch it, I decided to STOP Plex. I then restarted it. This simple process (unexpectedly) allowed me to Launch Plex -- using the Plex Icon within the Personal Cloud. Also, for the first time, I could launch Plex from my Roku-device, and display some pictures on my TV. YESTERDAY I was again unable to Launch, and STOP and RESTARTING Plex did not help. TODAY, however, I am once again ABLE to Launch Plex by STOPPING and then RESTARTING. I do note that Plex has failed to complete the large-task-I-had-setup, in that Plex 'imported' (if that is the correct word) only a small number of the large number of photos (500 or so) I wanted to display.

I am using a Desktop Computer with Windows 10 and Internet Explorer. My Personal Cloud is a Seagate 3TB. My Router is a new Linksys EA6900/AC1900.

My questions are:
(a) do other users of Plex also find that successful launching is intermittent, and somewhat unpredictable? Have you found a way to over come this?
(b) is there a limit to the number of photo-files that Plex can import at one time? Does Plex freeze if the number chosen for import is too large?

Thanks for your assistance. SWA

Can the the Plex server work without the computer being awake?

I have the Plex server installed on my Seagate NAS (pre-installed app). I have this serving movies from my NAS through my home network to my Samsung smart tv. The problem I am having is that my Surface Pro is also on the network, and whenever this goes to sleep, the Plex server becomes unavailable. My question is: why does the computer need to be on the network at all?

I expect the Plex server to play movies over the network regardless. Can someone advise if there is a setting to enable this.

Ok So I've had Plex running on my Seagate 4 Bay Business NAS for about a 6 months no problem at all. Then on Saturday it started to not be accesable from the Amazon Fire TV Stick and I chalked it up to Wifi reception. Then it started acting up on Plex on my Desktop that is hardwired to my router. So I went into the NAS interface and it let me know that "Auto Startup was disabled and the application was stopped due to "Update Avaliable" So like a retard I started the update in which it installed fine but when it start up Froze at "Starting" for 15 minutes. So I told the NAS to reboot. I've waited about 20 minutes now after NAS has rebooted to it still "Starting". SO I was thinking "Ok maybe to old of a version upgrade didn't go well so I'll uninstall it and then reinstall "Fresh". Its been stuck at "Removing for 10 minutes so far. Honestly I've used XBMC for 7+ years never this much of a headache the past couple days. I really like Plex its easier does all the scraping for me.. But seriously what gives?

Curious about scanning speed...

I just bought a Seagate Personal Cloud so we can take our media libraries with us on vacation. I've cloned my Music folder with over 23,000 files and started the SPC scanning the folder. I started the scan almost 72 hours ago and it is still going. My Mac Pro scans the folder in much less time (as I expected) but is this normal? I'm starting to worry that the library won't be ready for our departure!

This server is not powerful enough to convert video.

There will be a video that I am able to play on my android phone and on my ipad. But when I try to play on the browser player and my ps4 player, it comes up with, "This server is not powerful enough to convert video." I'm not sure why this is, since it has obviously been able to play previously, from the same server. What settings do I need to change to get it to work? Under server settings there is the tab for transcoder options, and I wonder if anyone has played with those settings and if it would be able to affect this. Does that tab only affect the browser settings, or will it transfer to the ps4 as well?

Plex Media Server app constantly "busy"

I've been working with my Seagate Personal Cloud to get it ready for a trip we're taking soon. This morning, the app reports that it's busy (and been like that for a while) and there seems to be no way to restart or quit the app. I tried to reinstall the app (which it reported was successful) but when I started the app, it goes straight to busy. Seagate support has been no help on stuck apps. Ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I've installed Plex to my Seagate 4Bay NAS, everything was working fine and then just tonight plex itself changed the port that it uses from 32400 to 10004, there is no way to access the media server to change it back; I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and remapped the port and nothing is working! Any ideas??

For those looking to install Plex on a Lacie NAS (xBig series)

It is possible to install it using the Seagate x64 package.

  1. Have a Lacie NAS running firmware that includes the App Manager (4+)
  2. Download the Seagate x64 package
  3. Enable Manual App installation in the Advanced section of the App Manager
  4. Select Manual Install and point to the RBW you downloaded
  5. After install, Plex should now appear in the App Manager
  6. Click Open and set it up!

The 5Big has the same CPU as the ReadyNAS 3xx series, so it should perform similarly.

Seagate personal cloud questions

I used to try and set up a plex server on my PC but unfortunately ditched (over a year ago) it as I had numerous disconnects when trying to use the remote app on my android phone and surface pro, did plenty of the fixes and workarounds with no luck. I really want to go back to using Plex and have the ability to stream/download any music from my library when away (or even at home).

I was looking at purchasing the seagate personal cloud and moving all 500+ gigs of music onto it as well as some movies and photos. the music is my main concern.

  1. Is this a good solution to be able to have computer turned off and still be able to remotely (off home network) stream or download music?

  2. I have read many issues with the transcoding of videos and what not. If I'm at home and have the videos on the seagate drive will there still be transcoding issues going to TV over plex, or is this a remote issue?

Seagate Personal Cloud | Adding Libraries

Hi all,

I have a nagging issue. I have my main Plex server which is a Dell server and it runs perfectly, however, last night it went down (working now) and it made me think about having a backup media server in place. I purchased the Seagate Nas personal cloud for storage purposes but noticed you can install Plex on there. So I have installed Plex, added the server to my account and I can see Plex Backup Server.

The issue I am having is adding data to a movie library.

It can see the data on the local nas fine, however, if I put \192.168.1.2\f\movies it can't find the data.

Anyone else had an issue with this?

Hi,
I am not sure how to start fixing this problem, I have been using Plex on my My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS drive for a month and have had no issues until today when i try and watch videos from it I get an error message saying that the server is not powerful enough to convert the video. I have not changed any of the settings in the NAS or added any new videos. I am trying to watch videos that i have watched before on the NAS so have no idea why its doing this now. I have done all the usual rebooting it and the network but nothing has worked. This is my first ventures into a NAS drive and using Plex.
