Mac mini M1 Plex server fails to add video files that Synology NAS Plex server did

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314

I was dissatisfied with the performance of Plex on my (admittedly old) Synology NAS so decided to move to a Mac mini M1. Performance is great, but I noticed quite a few movies didn’t get added (they got added fine to the NAS Plex server) - the console log shows an error retrieving a wmv2 codec. Is there anything I can do to fix this myself?

[HttpClient/HCl#10c33] HTTP error requesting GET https://plex.tv/api/codecs/wmv2_decoder?build=darwin-aarch64-standard&deviceId=9cea5d37-93db-4672-8912-11e392c3deb2&oldestPreviousVersion=1.41.3.9314-a0bfb8370&version=e613bce-3d5ad59c62e771ae9cb5738e (60, SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK) (SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name ‘plex.tv’)

SSL errors are something you need to look into, I would check for date/time issues or DNS rebinding protection

If the media is still on the Synology, also review the thread linked below.

There is a problem with SMB in the current version of MacOS. If you’ve many (1000+) movies in the library, Plex may not find all of them.

As a workaround, you can modify a SMB config file on the Mac or use NFS instead.
