Server Version#: Ubuntu 20.04 Player Version#: Plex Version 1.20.4.3517 Tuner Make/Model: Hauppauge Quad Guide/Lineup name: N/A Using XMLTV?: No Channel number/Name: N/A I used a combination of these two links as a tutorial to set up a plex dvr post processing script, which worked when insta…

Seeing the same thing, I upgraded to 20.04 on my server last night. I can successfully run the script from the command line feeding it the file manually and it will transcode but it simply doesn’t transcode when using the post-processing function, script is running too as it is logging to the /tmp d…

Yeah this one is a bit strange … did some more digging into the logs while it tries to transcode … Decoder (codec mpeg2video) not found for input stream … and yet, running the script from the command line functions as expected. Still digging :slight_smile:

Interesting - glad it’s not just me! Thanks for replying too. I’m still wondering if there is a permission/authority issue with either the script (probably not since it does run), but perhaps the target folder when writing the final output - but that doesn’t seem right either since plex dvr is able …

Yeah it has to be a library permission thing or something as the error I eventually nailed down on mine was it wasn’t able to decode the mpeg2ts stream. So maybe some environment variables that aren’t set while Plex is running as a service. I just worked around it instead, now recording with transc…

This started today for me also I had upgraded to Server 1.20.5.3600 then 1.21.0.3608 and now my post processing script fails. Logs just says it exited error code 1 failed. But if I run the script as plex manually it works just fine. What does the server do differently in running the script?

If I downgrade to Server to 1.20.5.3583 post processing script works fine. (this is all on Ubuntu 18.04.5)

I did another full fresh install this past weekend using a fully automated script, and I can now again use the dvr (so if I screw anything up it only takes an hour to fully rebuild the system). I have another script that builds the post processing folders for comskip and comcut, and it also assigns …

Does anyone know what changed after 1.20.5.3583 in Linux package? If I upgrade past this version my post processing script will fail, how ever If I stay at this version it works just fine.

Its something to do with plex using its own libraries instead of ubuntu’s I finally got my script to debug more and its trying to use plex’s libraries for ffmpeg instead of the ones in ubuntu.
