ok this issue for me had seemed to resolve itself. I could transcode on my firefox no issue for a while.
I updated my server and hey guess what it’s back and I cant transcode anymore on firefox. But wait, there are family streaming transcodes to firefox/chrome no issue according to my tautulli logs??
If I open firefox on my system and try to transcode a video it will FAIL. If I open a new “container tab” in firefox (effectively a fresh firefox no cookies/cache/etc) and play the same video it WILL transcode.
I tried to clear my site data in my normal firefox profile and it still fails to transcode. Is the Plex server logging something about the session that it deems cant recieve a transcode? I dont know, but here is a debug log from my plex showing me opening and direct streaming, switching to a failing transcode and then logging in with the same account through a fresh firefox container and transcoding perfectly.
Clearly there’s an issue with something somewhere with how this worked out.
Server is: 1.24.3.5033 on Ubuntu 18.04.3
Plex Web Version 4.63.0 on Firefox 92, Windows 10
Hopefully @chrisallen @ChuckPa might be able to figure part of this out?
