Fresh new install without loosing curent setup

Hi, I’m having issue with PMS version above 1.14.x
So I’ll try to make a fresh new install, but I was wondering if there was a way to keep my current library and DVR setup?

I’m running on windows 10

Thanks

Fresh install of what? Your OS or PMS?

PMS, do you think it can fix any problem I’m having?

I don’t know. We don’t know what your issue is yet. Perhaps you can give us a little detail surrounding your problem.

Hi, did you found what is my issue?

I have no knowledge of LiveTV and tuner cards but what I did see in the logs was…

So do you think if I fully uninstall my PMS and start with a fresh install that it will resolve my problem?

Even without Live tv knowledge do you you have a little idea of what could cause these [transcoder] error?

Thanks a lot!

Oh heck. With LiveTV, I can’t say. That’s another point of failure.

I can tell you these issues are not reserved for Plex. Google the errors (exponent -1 is out-of-range, error decoding the audio block, hardware accelerator failed to decode picture, etc…)
Many people and many programs use ffmpeg and have similar issues as you. maybe look at a few of them and see if they have answers.
