Playback not working, EAE seems to be the error

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: Version 1.20.5.3600
Player Version#: Version 4.46.2

I am running my Plex Server in unraid as a container. I can play some of my media but not anything that seems to be “new”. I first tried to play the Madalorian in 4K on my FireTV and it would only play for about 90 sec before stopping and then never startup again. If I restarted it would play for another 90 sec. I went to the browser (Firefox, Brave) and tried again but no luck at all with playback.
I have been looking at the logs for awhile but nothing stands out to me other than EAE errors but I cant find a fix…
Attached are the logs. First one is the working media, second is the non working media.
Please let me know if you need any more info.

(File removed) Working Playback with older file.

(File removed) This one opens the player but it stays blank and throws errors.

Update: I was able to get some guidance on the unraid forum. Seems to work so far.

EAE errors are usually fixed by deleting the contents of the codecs folder in Plex which forces a new download of each codec as needed. Sometime they get messed up.
Codecs folder is under LIbrary>Application Support>Plex Media Server in your Plex appdata path.

Anyone else had this experience?
