Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395 Player Version#: 4.128.1 Hi, I have a Synology DS423+, its the same CPU as a synology ds920+, so perfectly compatible with transcoding, but every movie that tarnscodes gives issue My media files are located on a storage pool, 5 TB left there, plex is installed on the NVME storage pool, 900 GB left there, so plenty enough data but when i look in the logs, i see this: Error while decoding stream #0:1: No space left on device This happens on plex chrome player, i also have Google TV HD’s, not possible to use transcode there either …? Whats wrong? here are some log files [Plex Media Server.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/fRjTejJQuct4lH0TKyu26WkN1sz.log) (5.1 KB) [Plex Transcoder Statistics.log](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/2W6zOcGF0Z9QwzqpRHN2yanyLlP.log) (19.0 KB) ---

When the Linux ‘inotify’ table fills up, this will cause when Plex to stop automatically detecting new media you add to the server. It will also manifest when there are transcoder problems with Dolby audio codecs. Linux has a default table size which is static. We can increase this at will. On some versions it’s 8192.

Enable [DEBUG logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1), click SAVE when done. (Do not enable VERBOSE) 2. Restart PMS 3. Wait 3 minutes 4.

From what I can see in your logs, ## Possibility 1: Volume 2 is full Check the Transcoder temp (under PlexMediaServer). What does DSM show for free space? ## Possibility 2 Secondary possibility – The number of watched folders is full and you’re trying to transcode Dolby audio from a movie/tv episode (What the error also implies) > May 07, 2024 07:36:16.906 [140018043038520] ERROR - [Req#18876/Transcode/1c135b46a25befbe-com-plexapp-android/6468c92e-fc53-462e-b471-af6786250b0b] Error while decoding stream #0:1: No space left on device "No space left on device is VERY common when loading directories. ---

Volume 2 is the NVME drive, 824 GB free, so thats not the case 🙂 Volume 1 is where the media is, 5.2 TB free SO thats the space on the chromecast device itself? ---

Check where you’ve specified the Transcoder Temp (Settings - Server - Transcoder - Show Advanced) That space is reporting full. Is this a btrfs filesystem with a quota on the shared folder ? If you implemented quotas on the Synology, the PlexMediaServer shared folder itself might be ‘full’ as far as that quota is concerned. The ChromeCast is the player… It’s not reporting the error… PMS is. ---

Hmm, no quotas… But indeed, I just created an volume on that nvme drive, it’s was ment to install apps on it to make it faster… I don’t think I created a shared folder on it, that might be it? I check it later when I’m home ---

For test , created a new shared folder “tmp”, i changed it, i saw Plex creating an “Transcode” folder, so the setting is correct… But still same error “no space left”… As you can see, enough space left… So think the issues comes elsewhere… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/2/9/a/29ab211176bbe57e7be76e3935bc9849ab24a335.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/b/f/7/bf7d36499347c5ef67464fb554e511fa78608900.png) [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-1-40-error-while-decoding-stream-0-no-space-left-on-device-is-the-bug-back/876955.md?page=2)
