Plex version. 1.19.3.2843 Keep getting transcode error if I attempt to play movie remotely. No issue in home network Running plex in docker on OMV with network set to host. Do I need a transcode folder mapped?

You don’t say where the container path /config is mapped to. But wherever that is, the drive it is on must be mounted with the exec option. If the drive is mounted noexec, then the transcoders will not run. Setting a transcode directory is optional. ---

Thanks! linux and omv noob I had edited the etc/openmediavault/config.xml after drive mounts but not etc/fstab I just edited /etc/fstab and removed all the “noexec” for all mounts now transcoding works with remote access SOLVED ---

There is a “noexec” flag in the file. link below shows where it is. I used nano to text edit. There is a link to Techno dad life. He has videos on how to set up OMV with dockers. > **[Filesystem Environmental Variables — openmediavault 5.x.y documentation](https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/5.x/various/fs_env_vars.html)** [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/f1aOiFtBG3Q/maxresdefault.jpg "Fix Plex and OpenVPN-as Problems by Removing Noexec on Openmediavault") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1aOiFtBG3Q) ---

Rather than deleting **noexec** when making these edits I suggest changing it to **exec** instead. This makes it clear what was done. ---
