EasyAudioEncoder is not chmod +x per default

~/.config/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/EasyAudioEncoder-1978-linux-aarch64/EasyAudioEncoder

This is not chmoded +x per default. This should definitively be the case.

I suppose we may need more information. I checked mine on a linux install and it is a+x.

Ok, i am running this on a raspberry pi 5 with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Plex is running in a Docker container installed from dockstarter.

Plex Version 1.40.2.8395

Is there anything more you need? Give me specifics and i post em here

Delete the EasyAudioEncoder-1978-linux-aarch64 folder, restart plex, and then try to play media that requires it. That will cause plex to redownload the codec and see if that addresses the issue. Or, just manually chmod a+x the file and move forward.

I have reinstalled plex multiple times over the time, not for this issue but other things and it has been the same thing everytime.

I am chmoding the file +x but im kinda tierd of “moving on”. I want a fix from this and i asked the guys at dockstarter about it and they said it’s a plex thing and that plex is the ones who has to deal with it.
So here we are, it must be pretty easy for them to fix this and a big thank you to me would be in order for hilighting this issue.

Don’t you think?

Then I guess just sit and wait and see when they get around to fixing it. Maybe someone else can fix it for you, but I don’t run in docker and do not run on a Pi. Good luck getting it addressed. It does sound like a bug somewhere. Have you checked the permissions of the resulting file? That might be helpful as well.

This is a bug in plex for sure. I hilight this here for my own sake in the future so i don’t have to manually chmod +x it anymore, and for everyone else who will defenitivly run into this issue without knowing how to solve it.

There will be showing up errors in the log about unable to read I/O thanks to this.

You may also want to double check that the mount point is not mounted as noexec, both within docker and on the host.
