Server Version#: 1.27.2.5929
Player Version#: 4.86.1
Docker Container from docker.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
Critical: libusb_init failed
Can no longer scan library, only solution is to restart…scan a few more files…dies again with 30 seconds.
Every closed post I see about this we are told its not a big deal and to ignore it…then right below I see people posting its breaking something. For me its scanning of the libraries…
So I cannot ignore it.
After upgrading my docker container to the current latest version: 1.28.0.5999 I get this error too.
Before my server run with this docker container without any problems. Since the last update I get the libusb error very often (not always).
I saw this error in my logs as well, but I run plex as LXC and it didn’t crash. I just installed the linux package libusb-1.0-0 and restarted the plex service. No more errors in the log.
So maybe the docker image needs to be updated with the above mentioned package.
I am having the same issue and tried to rollback all the way to the 1.27.1.5916-6b0e31a64 tag from docker hub, same result.
According to the devs, it is just a “warning” and not critical unless you pass through an usb controller or use usb tuner. So, it is safe to ignore.
Thank you @TuncTaylan, you’re right . In my case I couldn’t access the web view at :32400/web/, and this was the only error i am getting.
Eventually found out that for some reason, during the password reset, the server had reverted back to the ‘do not allow insecure connections’ setting. Fixed it just now.
