Server Version#: 1.25.6.5577
Player Version#: Not relevant
I’m trying to understand the purpose of the hundreds of files named media-XXXX.TS that I’m finding in the /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/ directory.
They all end in a number - example media-01729.ts or media-02178.ts etc…
What are they for?
I’m not exactly sure in what specific subfolder of the server data directory you see those files. My guess is this is chunks of transcoded/optimized media as part of an active stream. Those chunks usually cover a very tiny sequence, therefore you’re seeing so many (e.g. corresponding to the cached / prepared stream segments)
They are showing up in the PlexMediaServer directory
Are these files something that will get cleaned up by PMS as part of a maintenance task? Should I be deleting them?
Plex will usually clean those up latest by the end of a stream or during server maintenance.
no it’s blank.
How old are those files?
Every one of them is dated 2021-12-31
Then I blame the weather 
They can safely be deleted
Thank you. Files deleted.
