Server Version#: 1.25.3.5409 Player Version#: 1.39.1.2763-300bb607 Hi everyone, I have been experiencing an issue where I cant transcode some of my files, they work fine when in direct play but when trying to transcode I get an Error code: 4294967279. I have done some searching but cant find much on the topic. This issue doesn’t effect all my files on my Plex Server just some of them. I use a nVidia T1000 as my GPU to transcode and Im using unraid and my OS. Any insight on how to diagnose the issue would be great ---

Found a way to fix it. Deleting the codec folder and restarting Plex fixed the issue ---
