What logs should i include?
Seems i have an issue with playing movies and music, i always get the The transcoder exited due to an error.
I have tried to read the logs, see some errors but am unsure how to correct them .
any help is much appreciated.
P.S this is a fresh install, computer died, so everything is new.
Verify that the drive where your Plex database is stored is mounted as executable.
Tnx.
Plex is in a docker,
Which is running on open media vault.
I will make sure docker and plex have the right permissions under ACL. So they both have read and write.
Is this what you mean by exacutable?
No, that is not what I mean. Answer these questions:
In your container’s Volume and bind mount table, what Host path drive does the docker’s Container path /config point to?
Is that Host path drive mounted with the exec option in your /etc/fstab file?
ok so my docker mount table path is:
/config - /sharedfolders/AppData/Plex which is on the drive labeled media below.
/etc/fstab shows:
/ was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
UUID=7db5d975-3ca4-4e86-81bc-ae100d566723 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
swap was on /dev/sdc5 during installation
UUID=7fe45950-2f76-40a6-885f-2a55ed7a0bd0 none swap sw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

I take it i need to edit or add something to fstab.
Thanks for the help.
ok i think i found my issue,
I was playing around in docker and removed re added plex.
my movies and music is spanned across 3 drives.
so in docker under Volume and bind mount table
for media /media i just put /sharedfolder/
this is how i was able to have plex see my different drives.
how do i add the different drives in docker for plex to use them?
The drive labeled /dev/disk/by-label/Media (as well as all your other data drives) is mounted noexec. This means that the transcoders stored on that drive will not run.
As a temporary fix (that will not last) you can edit /etc/fstab and change noexec to exec for that drive and reboot. That will solve the transcoding problem.
For the permanent fix you need to make other changes that are a bit long to go into here. The best place to ask about this is in the OpenMediaVault users forum https://forum.openmediavault.org
Ask there how to make the required changes to /etc/default/openmediavault and /etc/openmediavault/config.xml such that data drives are mounted exec.
k tnx
See this guide for solving the noexec problem:
