Hi. I’ve started getting this error:

It happens mostly with 8ch audio. I’ve increased the inotify watchers as suggested in other posts:
sudo sysctl fs.inotify
[sudo] password for administrator:
fs.inotify.max_queued_events = 16384
fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 128
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536
I’ve deleted the Codecs folder and restarted plex and it has created the folder again and downloaded EAE:
/…/Codecs$ ls -atrln

Here is the script I use to run plex with docker:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
docker stop plex;docker rm plex;docker pull plexinc/pms-docker:latest;

I know some of the things in there related to getting GPU transcoding is unnecessary, but I got the hw transcoding to work and I didn’t want to futz with it anymore.
I first ran into the issue on the 30th when my friend reported a problem, and now I’m running into it myself and my previous quick and dirty fixes with codecs isn’t doing the job.
I’ve done the things mentioned above, but I’ve also restarted the host. Transcoding works on Jellyfin (but I prefer to use plex).
Thanks!
