Hello,

When the Nvidia Shield starts to read a file and it needs to be encoded (with the graphics card), it turns out that after a few minutes it stops with the error “Not enough disk space to convert this item”.

Knowing that I noticed that it does when my RAM is at about 50%. Besides, my main disk (where it has the OS) is an 80GB disk so enough to transcode I suppose

Your transcoder temp directory is set to /tmp which, on Linux distributions, is a memory tmpfs (ramdisk)

PMS is showing, even after pruning, there is insufficient space.

How much memory is installed in the machine and how much is available ?
free -m

I suggest you remove the current Transcoder temp directory and retest to confirm the issue is /tmp

Yeah i resolve this.

Yes I created a folder on another internal disk in RAID 0. Because I was told that my main disk (with the OS) of 80GB would not be enough to accommodate temporary files for 4K.

I have ~1TB of free space for Plex temporary files. And I put the right permissions too ^^
