Plex cutting off before the end of an episode

[spuniun]

This issue has become 100% reproducible for me under the conditions already shared by everyone: transcoded stream resumed from somewhere after the beginning of the episode/film will now always terminate a few minutes prior to the end of the content. I finally put in the effort to collect verbose logs for you:

@Ridley

• The server, client app, and client firmware versions you’ve seen this happen on
  • plexmediaserver_1.19.5.3035-864bbcbb7_amd64.deb
  • Plex 6.6.4.6468-8be6f8f5b
  • If you know, the last version on which the issue did not happen
    • unknown
• The client device model
  • 3810X Roku Streaming Stick+ 9.3.0 build 4172-50
• Whether the video stream was Direct Streamed or transcoded
  • transcoded
• Whether you’d resumed at an offset or started from the beginning of the file
  • resumed from about the 40% point
• Whether you’d seeked a substantial distance in the video during playback
  • none
• The duration of the file
  • 59mn 11s
• The approximate timestamp within the file at which playback cut off
  • ~56m
• Whether or not the issue reproduces reliably given the same starting conditions on the same file
  • I have not had time to test this use case specifically, but it occurring with every single episode I resume after stopping midway
• Whether the issue happens for all files, or only some (or most)
  • it seems to be all - I feel like it didn’t used to be this bad and only occurring on some, then progressively most, and now all
• The Plex Media Server logs
  • Plex Media Server Logs_2020-07-09_19-38-12.zip (4.5 MB)
• The approximate times (in the server’s local time zone) when playback started and when the issue took place
  • 7:17pm
• If possible, a sample file that reproduces the issue (even if it happens on all files you’ve tried)
  • sample.mkv

Hopefully these additional details help track down the problem as it certainly seems to be rather widespread based on these forums and it’s getting beyond annoying at this point.
