For what it’s worth, I’m still having this issue and might have found a workaround. If you check “limit to” and set it to how many items you want to optimize, it seems to work as intended.
I’ve tested it with 3 batches now and as long as I set it to have a limit, it does the full queue. I’ve only done as many as 20 in one go, but I haven’t had a single one get stuck since trying it this way. I’m also strictly doing “custom” optimization by bitrate so I don’t know if it will work if you aren’t, but it could be worth a shot.
With a couple of episodes there’s been a couple of minute delay with starting the next one, but I think that’s just because my drive was busy.
Fighting this now. Getting ready to go on a trip and tried to transcode a series in advance… so much for that. How do we get this the attention it deserves?
honestly ive given up on using plex to make optimized versions, its been broken for me for 5 months and they refuse to fix it. for 5 months avc (x264) encoding has been broken and this issue has been going for over 2 months and nothing has been done to fix it. ive gone back to using handbrake for encoding.
if you want to keep using plex you will have to go back to a previous version
aggravating no one with Plex is even commenting on it they even read the forums? tried the limit too one above didn’t work for me, still having to restart the stupid thing or go in and edit save every one, ya that’s not getting old fast…
If I go into Optimized Versions Settings, click and unclick the limit box and then save. I can get one at a time to restart in my queue. Seems like they should be able to fix this easily.
also they are not going to fix it, its been broken for 3 months almost, im also still waiting for them to fix avc optimized encoding which has been broken since december
Can anyone please verify that this build addresses the issue? As long as it does it will be included in the next 1.41.7 patch tentatively coming out next week.
