Server Version#: Version 1.86.1.4076-a3ab948d Player Version#: N/A Plex Pass: Yes I’ve recently moved my Plex setup from running in docker on a Linux host to docker running on my Unraid server that holds all my media. In my current setup, I have 4 media drives (spinning HDD) and 2 appdata drives …

Usually caused by analysis jobs during the server maintenance. For video files, it is usually a failure generating video preview thumbnails (or chapter thumbnails). Typcally occurs with obsurer video formats or ancient file formats like AVI. What may help with this is to instruct Plex to decode th…

It’s weird, because the files it’s checking in the TV library explicitly have the video thumbnails turned off, I deleted them all again to make sure they were gone from the Plex UI for the library, and they do have chapters already indexed (even in the right spots!). So more than anything, I’m wonde…

Intro and/or credits detection are left. Do they happen to have some type of Dolby audio codec?

So it has Dolby audio. And the intro detection will be renewed upon the file chaning or the detection code getting updated. I’d verify that the general /tmp folder of your server has been mounted without the noexec flag. Otherwise, the attempt to decode the audio (for detecting the intro or for tr…

OK, the /tmp folder is ephemeral and contained (and owned) by the container processes and not the host running the containers. So there should be no issues with permissions or anything like that. If your theory is correct, what could/might I see in the logs to support it? Finding the root cause in t…

I will take a look in there, thanks. I did check the XML data for the problematic file against a file from the same season and release group, and it looks like (minus the data differences), the same fields are filled out with similar data. So that’s another question mark as to what might be wrong, …
