@Cafe_Diem @tachtevrenidis @King_Family (Plex Media Server x86 only)
I found an easier way by packaging the windows x86-specific python script using ‘pyinstaller --onefile’ within Anaconda python development platform. If you want to use the python script instead, install Python 2.7 with ‘Add to Path’ option and use the script instead, as it will look for the default Python 2.7 installation folder and path.
To use the drop-in executable, installation is done by renaming ‘Plex Transcoder’ (in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server”) to ‘plex_transcoder’ and copying the included ‘Plex Transcoder’ in its place. README file and python source included with additional information. I’m hoping this isn’t against Plex Forum policy
