Hi. I had the same error 8005, I edited the RetroCores.xml, removed all the white space so like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Mappings>
<Mapping platform="Super Nintendo Entertainment System" core="snes9x_libretro" />
<Mapping platform="Nintendo Entertainment System" core="fceumm_libretro" />
</Mappings>
and it worked just fine. Before that I hade this error. Hope it helps.
Anyone able to help me troubleshoot my issues? Im using the core manager tool that someone posted, adds it to the correct folder and edits the XML file.
Plex Media Server Logs_2021-01-28_13-48-15.zip (2.8 MB)
Running the standard Atari and Arcade games, but no N64 or SNES games are working, just hangs up on the loading screen.
UPDATE: Restarted the Plex Game Transcoder from Task manager and away it went.
I keep getting the 8005 error;
But as noted in other posts I also get in the console this
[Transcode] JobRunner: exec of C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Game Transcoder\Plex Game Transcoder.exe failed: error 0x2e4.
So far unable to solve for n64 games
I was using coremanager.app attempting to load a *.nes file and got a 8005. I changed the emulator in coreamanger.app for *.nes files and the rom loaded.
Good luck!
Here is what may be the issue:
WHen you unzip the cores it creates a .dll file folder which plex thinks is the dll. Move the folders out of that directory and place thier contents in the game core directory and restart plex
I was so excited to finally get the Sega Genesis Core working by removing the white spaces in the xml, but canât seem to get any others working. 8005 error of course. Below is my .xml mappings. Anything stand out as incorrect? Could really use some help as I was excited to play some NES, SNES and N64 games!!
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Mappings>
<Mapping platform="Sega Genesis" core="genesis_plus_gx_libretro" />
<Mapping platform="Super Nintendo Entertainment System" core="snes9x_libretro" />
<Mapping platform="Nintendo Entertainment System" core="fceumm_libretro" />
</Mappings>
@elan any thoughts?
Please turn off Verbose logging in your PMS settings. Recreate and provide new logs.
@anon18523487 Just recreated. Sorry not sure why Verbose was enabled. FYI i have tried different cores and roms with no success. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to playing Super Mario Brothers 2 soon!
the next release will have more granular error codes which should help track down whatâs going on, but in general 8005 means the transcoder is either not starting properly or aborting quickly.
Having the same issue. It works great while remoted in or with a monitor. Plex transcoder stops working after I disconnect.
I do have the HDMI dongle that Plex suggested for headless servers. The second display shows up when I am on the monitor. However, when I RDP in, there is no option to change resolution like dongle directions say.
Plex is not running as a service. And I did allow the Plex game transcoder through windows firewall.
I am not sure what else there is to be done. I donât want to have a monitor hooked up or to always be remoted in.
I did further testing. I attached monitor and unplugged it. I didnt remote desktop into the server. I tried booting up the games and it worked. It appears RDP is breaking some sort of link between the GPU and windows.
I neglected to mention that my server is OSX, headless with hdMI dongle and the firewall is off. I have also experimented with a thunderbolt monitor on my server with no RDP and this has no effect on the 8005 error. Hopefully the next release will shed more light on the potential root cause of the error.
Fixed my issue. Found out that I needed to make two group policy changes:
[Local Group Policy Editor->Local Computer Policy->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Remote Desktop Services->Remote Desktop Session Host->Remote Session Environment], set the Policy [Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections] to Disabled.
and
[Local Group Policy Editor->Local Computer Policy->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Remote Desktop Services->Remote Desktop Session Host->Remote Session Environment], set the Policy [Use hardware graphics adapters for all Remote Desktop Services session] to Enabled.
Rebooted and the error stopped. Though under Settings>System>Display , the dongle still doesnât really show (cant change resolution or doesnât show any displays as being plugged in.) However, under Device Manager, only the GPU is present. Microsoftâs remote display adapter no longer shows.
Hope this helps some Windows 10 pro - RDP users out there.
holy cow⊠thanks for sharing that.
