Plex Media Server 1.15.0.647 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel
This version contains numerous changes and a lot of invisible behind the curtains stuff. There a few caveats and some missing builds at this point:
Notes:
Thecus Builds for Thecus devices will not be available at this time. Thecus is working on a firmware update that allows the new PMS to run on their devices.
Docker If you are running our PMS docker container (or Linuxserver.io’s container) you will need to ensure the container is up-to-date before PMS 1.15.0 will run.
Nvidia SHIELD builds are slightly delayed and will be available on Google Play store once QA testing has completed.
RedHat/CentOS/Fedora Plex Media Server now only supports running on systemd-based versions of these distros. In addition, CentOS 6 is no longer supported due to an incompatible GLIBC version (PMS on Linux now requires GLIBC 2.14 or newer)
Ubuntu We now have official ARMv7 and ARMv8 deb packages.
QNAP Plex Media Server now only works on QTS 4.3 and newer. This means that we no longer offer Plex Media Server for QNAP devices with 32bit Intel processors.
(Linux) Support for Ubuntu/Debian ARMv7 and ARMv8 platforms.
(NAS) Support for ASUSTOR, Synology, and QNAP ARMv8 devices.
(NAS) Support for hardware encoding on QNAP Intel/AMD 64-bit devices with a discrete Nvidia GPU.
(NAS) Support for volume selection, and app migration on QNAP devices.
FIXES:
(DVR) Avoid a few crashes around parsing bad JSON from OnConnect (#8889)
(DVR) Avoid caching EPG HTTP cache requests for longer than the refresh time (#9629)
(DVR) Avoid downloading XMLTV files to disk before parsing (#9272)
(DVR) Certain scheduled recordings would incorrectly show an error. (#9325)
(DVR) Change the way Plex Tuner Service returns keys for TVButler devices, especially on macOS, to properly handle using multiple TVButlers on the same system. N.B. This is a breaking change for users of TVButler devices. Those users will need to delete and recreate their DVR to use the new device information. (#8760)
(DVR) Disk space checking underestimates the necessary amount of space when starting recordings (#8807)
(DVR) Ensure grab operations get destroyed after a tune fails (#9465)
(DVR) Fixed a bug where changing recording priority would not update the schedule. (#9035)
(DVR) Log which device we’re allocating a tuner from
(DVR) Output signal strength/quality information into log periodically during tunes (#9503)
(DVR) Plex Tuner Service now properly detects when a transcode session exited due to signal failure and releases the tuner (#9174)
(DVR) Revert timeout changes, should help with timeouts during tune startup (#9473,
(DVR) Translate Guide header for clients to display (#8698)
(Library) Library summary endpoint should report the correct duration for large music libraries (#9223)
(Live TV) Fix for intermittent tune failures. (#9412)
(Live) Avoid delaying video playback while leading audio plays (#9343)
(Music) Restricting music libraries with labels could prevent them from loading. (#8935)
(Scanner) Add support for reading Opus metadata (#5974)
(Transcoder) Seeking in DASH streams could be unreliable (#9137)
Corrected rare crash involving accessing User data (#9464)
Removed some remaining uses of plaintext HTTP (#8958)
The server could crash when TV media was being deleted. (#9350)
