Spring Cleaning!

Hello everyone, Hope you’re well! Just letting you know that there were a few requests so new content is available in the best quality it can be at the time. (Which is actually pretty good!) I try and keep things updated as frequently as possible but there’s only so much one person can do. As you may have seen, some of the movies did not have appropriate matches to their titles and art/thumbnails and I have been busy but made time to rectify the issues and now you should see accurate information matched to the appropriate content. Nice and clean! Stability has been great, the odd reboot happens but I’m working on a way to inform or give notice to scheduled reboots and possibly setting a date every week where downtime will occur while the system reboots and everything is properly freed up (i.e memory and other resources pending cleaning. As usual, enjoy the content and let me know if you have any questions or concerns! LightSpeedTaco

The Fruits of Upgrading

Hey everyone, If you recall there was some downtime while I swapped some hard drives around and the reindexing and RAID establishment took some time. Well things finally finished up and here are the results! 14.42 terabytes of usable storage space and two disk redundancy. Here’s the spanned volume Plex resides on. The NAS is used for backup. P.S LightSpeedTaco

The Return of the Plex Media Server – Be Gentle

Well everyone it’s finally done. Everything’s upgraded and we have more disk space for media now and the NAS has also followed suit and expanded it’s storage space so all is well here. Now, keep in mind that the due to the nature of this work and the movement, physically, of hardware resulted in the library being blown away and now it is being rebuilt. That includes episode information and show/movie details. The process of indexing all of this media is very intense for the system so please be gentle for the next day or two with use. Once indexing slows down I’ll restart media fetching and new content will appear as it becomes readily available. Have a good one! LightSpeedTaco Update: Media acquisition is active again and currently catching up on any missed media. Update: Annndddd…we’re back at full speed

Plex Media Server Down for Hard Drive Upgrades

It was a little unexpected having been as busy as I was, the automated system was doing its thing and fetching media and so by the time I got around to checking up on storage use I realized that it was running low! As a result I’ve swapped around some disks between my PC and the NAS, I plan to have Plex back up and running by the end of today. I’ll keep this post updated. Sorry for the inconvenience! LightSpeedTaco Update: ETA on full functionality 1 day 11 hours. It’s 10 terabytes of data…   Update: Good morning/afternoon. ETA is now 6 hours. Update: As of 5:16PM EST the current ETA is 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Intermittent Service and Downtime of the Plex Server

Hey everyone, Yep, I’m still alive! Anyways, I suspect that for the past few days or potentially for longer, a surge protector which was utilized in the backbone connection to the internet for the systems here was interfering with the quality of the connection and as a result the server was not functioning at full speed and at time was down entirely. The problem has been addressed and things seem to be running at full speed again. Please feel free to contact me regarding any issues you may still encounter. Regards, LightSpeedTaco
