A black screen means
1 - the game isn’t working OR
2 - the game transcoder crashed from a previous game
We don’t have a fix for 1. Some games just may not work. You can try adding a different core.
For 2, kill the process and try again.
Just learned that Plex Arcade as a thing… when can I host/stream my own game collection through Plex?
I dont know what im doing wrong but im unable to download any of the included content… also im unable to add my own games. I always get the response: no elements found (Windows, Chrome) Any ideas why this doesnt work?

Is this confirmed? I am getting the 8003 error which I believe is the cores. I want to verify ive configured those correctly.
@anon18523487 any sage wisdom for -15000 errors on an M1 Mac Mini?
I’m asking around but it’s possible the built in graphics on that are not supported.
Throwing my hat in the ring to request Qnap support. I’d be willing to pay if it was supported, but being Windows/Mac only it’s pretty useless for a lot of us.

That problem has resolved itself. Next question. N64 games? I get an 8005 error; game transcoder unexpectedly exited.
Same answer as for the black screen.
this sucks what a waste of my day. i burnt my whole day on this surprise patch to get nothing.
still no atari games will even load b/c i tried to add a folder at same time. deleting gets me no where.
adding in my own roms is a complete shi!t show i can get them to scan in only to get a error or a black screen. dont ask people to pay for stuff only a few nerds can setup.

We know that this may be as easy as ABC for everyone. That’s why this is a Plex Lab project, since it is very experimental and why there is a free trial period.
Well, it’s been loading for about a minute. Maybe that’s a good sign.
Could also be due to your GPU not being specifically listed as supported.
I’d pay for a lifetime subscription, if it becomes available.
that sucks. any ideas how to fix that?
Not really. It’s hard to get around hardware limitations. You can try different drivers for your card or different cores. It could just be a specific platform that doesn’t work. With emulating games, it’s still a bit of trial and error in some cases.
My Plex server is a Windows 10 laptop. I downloaded and installed Retroarch and then from within Retroarch, you can download cores. Then locate that core inside Retroarch and copy it over to the PMS cores folder.
Is Plex Game Transcoder.exe 64-bit only? I’m seeing the “The game transcoder exited unexpectedly” error as well. I pulled the command from the logs and ran it directly from the command line; it failed with the message that it was not compatible with the version of Windows I’m running (which is Windows 10 32-bit 2009).
Just posting here for now, but this is a specific issue with Plex Arcade that I haven’t really seen mentioned yet:
Ive added a small batch of SNES roms to the games library as well as installed the required core (per the Core Manager plugin). I can successfully launch and play games on the plex app on my Mac (where the plex server and parsec is installed). However, when I try to use the apple tv client or the iphone, I get a blank screen on launch, then it closes after about a minute with a Parsec error code -12007
Anyone else have this issue or find a fix?

Has anyone had any luck with Genesis roms? Mine are all .bin, but Plex is not adding the platform.
