************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Is it possible that you have both the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of the server installed?

I think it is time to go for the “nuclear option”: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/

[fieryiri]

I don’t have both installed, so here goes nuclear

[fieryiri]

ok, have cleaned everything. should I go 64 or 32?

[OttoKerner]

Shouldn’t make much difference. It be very long before the 64 bit is available officially.

[fieryiri]

ok, thanks. here goes LOL

[fieryiri]

it worked. libraries are set up. yay. THANK YOU!!!

[JohnAlex]

@OttoKerner

It be very long before the 64 bit is available officially.

Is there a defined timeline ?

Very long

does not sound hopeful at all but will assume you left out the word won’t so the comment becomes

won’t be very long

I’ll happily stick with the 64 bit version, even if alpha/beta.

[fieryiri]

I assumed that and went with 64 to utilize my processor. thanks to everyone for all your help!!

[d2freak]

Was that a typo? Or are you saying it will take a very long time for it to be released as stable?

[OttoKerner]

It was a typo. (st*pid touch screens!)

[anon18523487]

Just a little heads up. PMS 64-bit for Windows will be official very soon. It will come with a few nice surprises too.

[JohnAlex]

@anon18523487

It will come with a few nice surprises too.

Full support for AMD GPU transcoding

[anon18523487]

What do you mean by “full support”?

[JohnAlex]

@anon18523487

“full support”?

Off topic

[Feature Request] Add support for AMD's Video Core Next encoding

Right now the main way to run a plex server is with an Intel CPU that support Quicksync. This results in the best performance and especially price/performance ratio. It would be very nice if plex also supported AMD’s processors with built in graphics for transcoding. As an example, here is the performance capability of the Ryzen5 2400G processor: [image] That is about seven 1080p movies it could encode when used as a plex server cpu, or two 4k movies too. Quite a lot for a little $170 processo…

As another example, I get far better performance transcoding (number of streams and quality of steams) using my 2700x and software transcoding than the RX580X and HW transcoding. Even a single stream from the RX580X ends up in blocking and stuttering when transcoded usign HW and the AMD GPU.

Interested to know more about these nice surprises however, in the 64 bit thread

[anon18523487]

64-bit Windows is now officially in beta. Plex Media Server - #531 by Ridley

• (Windows) Support zero-copy hardware transcoding with Nvidia GPUs on 64-bit Windows
• (Scanner) Improve scanner performance (#13804)

These are the surprises I was referring to.

Edit - And the Downloads page now has the 64-bit version available.
