Hi.
I noticed that when I updated my Plex server from 0.9.16.6 to 1.0.0 that I could no play any files that invoked the transcoder.
Through looking at the logs I eventually determined that the cause of this was because I had some values set in:
/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
Specifically I had a few x264 flags set in the TranscoderH264OptionsOverride property.
The option is mentioned and defined how to be used in the docs here:
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201105343-Advanced-Server-Settings
I played around with the property in the 1.0.0 Plex server version but I have come to the conclusion that the Plex 1.0.0 verison is not correctly appending the x264 flags set in the TranscoderH264OptionsOverride property to the -x264opts transcoder parameter.
This is a regression issue and I just wanted to bring it to the attention of the Plex developers and was wondering if it was something they could look at fixing in a future release since I know I like to use the option.
Thanks!
