Whatever was on pastebin has been removed. You can attach log files to Plex forum posts. Just drag the file into the message window. Do you have subtitles enabled? If so, turn them off and see what happens. Plex may be burning the subtitles into the video stream. That uses the CPU, and if the …

I seem to be having a similar issue since the latest beta update. When transcoding is attempted the log shows a 404. Windows Plex Media Server: Beta Version 1.40.4.8626 Jul 08, 2024 09:42:27.590 [6108] DEBUG - Request: [47.39.2x.x:39915 (WAN)] GET /video/:/transcode/universal/session/97eceb75-690…

That test version didn’t work for me, so I just installed the Public version, dumping the beta, and now it transcodes again. Something going on with the Transcoding capability in the beta version.

I am seeing similar with a Shield client which is now causing software transcoding rather than hardware on Plex windows server.

Disabling subtitles worked for me, thank you! Is there a way to enable subtitles without causing this issue.

My issue was on Public first then I tried Beta and both fail the same way.

I was not using Subtitles and if/when I do, I make sure they were SRT so they wouldn’t cause Plex to crash/buffer forever. Subtitles have not been on when this happens. Like I said this seems to be a relatively recent problem. I wasn’t watching many movies lately, especially with DTS (that normally …

Also another note to help narrow this down, I even tried another version of a few of the movies that wouldn’t work. I tried them still in 4k but with an audio that my TV could passthrough (Dolby Digital AC3). These new files play just fine but every movie with DTS now won’t play past 10 seconds. Som…

I get the 404 also. But I also see this: Jul 10, 2024 15:34:14.949 [19208] WARN - [Req#64edf/Transcode] Got a request to stop a transcode session without a valid session GUID.

Is this possibly related to this issue?

There is a test Plex build there they claim could address this very similar issue.
