This is my first time posting as I can usually troubleshoot these myself, but this one has thrown me for a loop I have one season of one show that refuses to finish its detecting intros and its driving me mad. I have searched for help and found a few things Check is conversions are paused. Ther…

Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring - I’m currently having an issue where Plex also gets stuck on seemingly random seasons in the overnight schedule. However, this is causing wider issues which cause my NFS share to lock up in Unraid and make other containers completely unresponsive as Plex n…

I have/Had the same thing. This is what I did, to get it to stop today. Hope it continues to work. Open Plex Web App Go to Settings > Server > Library Set the Generate intro video markers setting as NEVER. Then I stopped the server a minute, and restarted. That stopped it for now, and hopefully the …

My Plex started doing this in the last couple of days. Not just one season but any season and different shows. Tried the tips here to no avail. I read from another post a person ultimately just restarted his whole Synology server and it started working again. I’m running on unRaid but i thought i’d …

Jumped the gun a bit. Turns out there were still some issues with the same tv shows as earlier. Now it started searching for intros without any progress again. I checked the log, and it was spamming issues with the EasyAudioEncoder (EAE timeout! EAE not running, or wrong folder?). I shut down plex, …

Pathetic that nobody with Plex can give us a fix for this issue.

I am having the same problem. Server Version: 1.28.0.1681-cc6e807c (Synology Package from Plex.tv) I am getting this issue too and it seems to only affect one season of a particular show. Error messages look a lot like what others have mentioned here - some references to EAE3, EAE timeout, I/O er…

have you tried removing easy audio encoder from codecs folder like i did?

No, I didn’t try your method. But I read your posts and assume that yours isn’t a permanent solution either. Personally, I’d rather schedule my plex server to restart after the scheduled task period as a temporary fix. God knows what a missing codec might do to Plex.

when you delete the folder plex will re-apply/re-download it (probably after a restart?). It’s very weird because it has same filesize but its seems to do the trick. And yeah i hope it will be permanent, cant say for sure. Last time i had trouble with the EAE was over half a year ago

ah, that’s excellent news. thanks for the info perhaps I’ll give it a shot after all. will report back if and when I do.

Any change since 1.21.4.4079? I’ve been curious if the mentioned Butler fix was related to this issue.
