Critical: libusb_init failed

Plex Media Server Plex Pass Betas
1

Server Version#: Version 1.41.2.9200
Player Version#: Varies

Plex is running and working fine for the most part - and it crashes every 2-3 days - I end up with a 504 page… Nothing in the plex crash report and I look at my docker container logs I constantly see libusb_init faile which is weird, because I don’t use any USB devices.

So, I added a new variable parameter to set PLEX_DISABLE_USB_SUPPORT=true
I restarted plex - and check my container to make sure:

I did get “PLEX_DISABLE_USB_SUPPORT=true” when running docker inspect Plex-Media-Server | grep PLEX_DISABLE_USB_SUPPORT

But, after looking at the logs, libusb_init continues to fail… Any idea what is going on?

That is only going to matter if you have a USB TV tuner I believe. Both my servers have the same error and work perfectly fine.

My understanding is that the error is a result of PMS looking for a USB TV tuner and failing to find one. It happens everytime the Docker container is started/restarted and can be ignored. It’s unlikely to be the source of the error.

Thank you both.
