Server Version#: 1.25.2.5319 Player Version#:any Hello, i have problems to playback some movies. I think, i has to do with some audio Codecs. If a movie doesn’t work, i have this error in my logs: Dec 21, 2021 09:21:36.000 [0x7f4e178f3b38] Fehler — [Transcoder] [eac3_eae @ 0x7f8e3a69f8c0] EAE t…

One last thing to check – the number of watched folders. (‘Scan my library automatically’ is enabled) DEBUG logging on; VERBOSE off Restart PMS Let it sit 3-4 minutes completely idle Download logs Look for “No space left on device” The transcoder need 2 watch slots per transcode (for the EAE)…

i’m not running plex as Docker. Its a VM and i checked the tmp folder. there are some files exist while i tried to playback [grafik]

It’s not about Docker. It’s about executable code in the transcoder temporary folder. This folder must be mounted in a way which doesn’t prevent the Easy Audio Encoder from running.

the /tmp folder doesn’t prevent executables and the Codecs folder too. the EAE file itself is executable. the created .ec3 files in /tmp/pms/… not. They are created with permissions 644

any other suggestions? i’m really stuck there :confused: My Debian uses only one Partition. Its NOT mountet with “noexec” flag. The folders and files are allowed to be executed.

‘Scan my library automatically’ is enabled" is disabled at my Plex server. The logs are clean. “No space left on device” is also not in the logs.

Guys, i solved the problem. But i don’t get it. I dont use autoupdate but i have to update the fs.inotify.max_user_watches settings.
