Plex Keeps Transcoding!

You’ll have to provide additional information to determine why a file is transcoding.

  1. Set your system for debug logs only, verbose logs disabled. See “Reporting issues…” doc below.
  2. Pick one problematic movie to use as a test.
  3. Pull the Plex XML information for that movie and attach to the thread as a text file (not screen shots).
  4. Re-create the problem, preferably with no other activity on the server. Let the movie play for 20 - 30 seconds.
  5. Stop playback, wait 1 minute for server to log everything.
  6. Pull logs files. Attach entire ZIP file to the thread.
