Migrated from FreedBSD (TrueNas) to Linux (Unraid) Transcode Issues

Plex Media Server
,
1

Server Version#: 1.40.0.7775 & 1.32.8.7639
Originally tested on 1.32.8.7639, but updated VERSION to plexpass in docker and it updated to 1.40 i did backup the Plex Media Server Folder before updating. but issue continues on both version.

Player Version#:Multiple (Verified: 7.13.10.8926-bf90f456c-Plex) Not sure of remote version atm.

I’ve been on FreeBSD (jails) for years without any issues, but i created a new server. Setting up unraid and running Plex from a docker container. lscr.io/linuxserver/plex
CPU is a Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2695 v4 @ 2.10GHz and i know it doesn’t have quicksync but my old CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5507 @ 2.27GHz had no issues transcoding a few streams especially since its mostly just an audio transcoding.

I’ve noticed that its also trying to trasncode everything to FLAC, i’m not sure if thats normal i honestly never look at the conversion stuff.

I’m running into multiple issues the first one is resume if transcoding is required. I can start a video from the beginning, but if it goes back to home page and requires “Resume” or if you try to skip to a different part of the video file it will load to 33% and then hang until it fails.

#2
Remote streams are not able to transcode app says "app cannot direct play this item, Direct Play is disabled.

I did delete my Codec Folder and restarted Plex which it downloaded the following

 ls /config/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Codecs/
1d5bf5d-4660-linux-x86_64  EasyAudioEncoder-1978-linux-x86_64
root@7d70caa7c379:/#

Docker command

docker run
  -d
  --name='plex'
  --net='br1.11'

I can’t figure out what is causing the issues.

Still looking into this, but the really weird part is that on my Iphone even over remote it works and it shows that its transcoding without any issues.
