I've cut the cable, but now reliability is suffering...
Posted: April 29th, 2014, 6:58 am
Hi,
I installed my system about a year and a half ago and, up until very recently, it's ROCKED! So much so that, about 2 months ago, I cancelled my cable TV subscription (saving me about $50 a month) moving almost entirely to Plex / Netflix and OTA.
Ok, I have started recently to experience a number of issues. I do not know if they are related in any way, so I'm listing them all here. My setup, with version numbers is listed at the end of this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have a falling WAF.... :-(
So, in no particular order of occurrence or impact on family harmony:
1) Some content particularly movies, appears to download ok, it gets indexed and shows up in the library, but it won't play. Roku asks if my server is online, iOS reports error -12880.
2) Some content which previously played fine, has now started erroring after a few minutes.
3) my server freezes up and required rebooting.
4) My Roku stops responding and needs rebooting.
5) Some T.V. shows won't download, SabNZB throws an errors saying they may be out of retention. These are shows that aired within the last week. Later episodes then are ok. For example, I am missing the first half of the second season of Revolution.
6) Couch Potato's "Wanted" etc lists don't always reflect reality (I.e. The film has been added, but still show's as wanted...)
7) content that is downloaded sometimes doesn't get picked up and added to the Plex library listings.
My setup:
Gigabit network with anything that can be, hard wired. Remaining devices over WiFi. Clients on Roku, iOS and Android. Same behavior on all.
Server is Windows 2008 R2 (64 Bit) running on an HP DL380 g5 with 16GB RAM. Internal 340GB Raid 5 OS drive, 900GB Raid 5 data drive 2x. External 3TB USB drives.
PMS 0.9.9.7
Web 2.1.5
Roku
PlexTest 3.0.1
Plex 2.8.4
iOS 3.4.2
Android April 15
SabNZB 0.7.17
Couch Potato 2.4.0
SickBeard Alpha Build 504
Any help most appreciated!
