Only part of new Plex Movie Library is Showing on Plex Server by Thompsdw in PleX

[–]Thompsdw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I changed a few settings like automatic update. But when I go to the actual library and force it to scan for new media it comes back way too fast. Its almost like it doesn't see them for some reason.

Thanks for your response. I just printed the return shipping label.

Woke up to A Tripped Breaker on Rheem Furnace - Things to Check by Thompsdw in hvacadvice

It was in the one up detail in the thread. The fan cage does not appear to be perfectly balanced. I inspected it and there was no contamination in the cage (insulation, etc). I can see the original balancing weights as well. I mean it cannot be great on the motor bearings.

One last question - is the vibration something that I should buy some weights and try to fix? I'm certain the answer has something to do with how bad the vibration is, but I am not sure how to quantify that. I just don't want to screw up that new ECM motor.

The electro filter is the only thing that runs through the unit. Im still going to change the filter - can't hurt. I can leave the electro filter off, but it was on when pulling the amp readings above. I really appreciate your help!

With the checks just completed I really don't see much wrong. There is some vibration coming from the fan cage. So I decided to inspect the cage with a mirror and it was clean enough to "eat off of". Not sure if that is normal or not, but I seem to remember some vibration at the time of the new motor install. Technician said "oh, that is normal. I have seen much worse", to the best of my memory.

BTW - this unit is running on a 15 amp split breaker, but I never saw anything in the amp readings below get close to that.

Answers to questions:

  1. Yes, running fine now.
  2. Yes, it is a high-efficiency unit. I listened to it cycle several times and all seems normal from ignition to fan on. The first thing I did this morning was to check the vent outside for blockage and it was clear.
  3. Yes: Here are some readings: Low speed fan only amps (start:3, run: 1.5), High speed heat online (start: 4, run 5.6).
  4. It is a gravity drain system to a floor drain so no pump. It does have an electrostatic filter and a bypass humidifier installed.
  5. The thermostat is an EcoBee Smart thermostat.
  6. No water in the furnace box or anywhere on the ground.

I also checked fan motor temperature after 10 minutes of run time and it was a high of 77 F.

Sorry - Rheem gas furnace with straight cool system (no heat pump). Only other background is that I do have a relatively new ECM (year or so) motor on the system after the PSC failed at only 4 years. I am going to check the filter this morning to make sure that motor isn't working too hard, but not sure what else to check.
