Stupidly I rolled out the 1.0 update and broke PRT… I’m usually good about visiting here and keeping things in line but I didn’t even see the 0.9.17 release issue and went straight to 1.0 ---

The installer works fine with 0.9.16.6.1993-5089475. 1. uninstall the current version: apt-get remove plexmediaserver 2. downlaod version 0.9.16.6 and install dpkg -i plexmediaserver\_0.9.16.6.1993-5089475\_amd64.deb 3. run prt setup again. That should do the trick… ---

I have started playing with [https://www.joyent.com/](https://www.joyent.com/) - Trition Datacenter, and I thought it would be perfect if we could get PRT into a docker container, as each docker container has its own IP, so you don’t have to worry about useing odd ports for ssh, andothers ports as it progresses. ---

I started to work on a docker image clone of linuxserver/plex. I changed the inital download to be verion 0.96.16.6 and set the VERSION enviornment variable to the same version, to prevent breakage of PRT. What works so far: - functions of the orignal image of course 🙂 like setup plex - checkout prt, do the setup, initialize with host ip. - add localhost as a slave Though, since i am a beginner to PRT, it might take a while to figure out the rest… ---

@gugge95: i doubt that those scripts will provide all the functions you require to do the setup on a baremetal/vm os. Fileshare handling is not ment to be handled inside a docker container - it is ment to happen on the docker host level. Neither the master image, nor the slave image will include scripts to mount fileshares! ---

Hi guys I find out why PRT and my automated DigitalOcean Transcoder doesn’t work. 2 Points Plex New Transcoder renamed to Plex Transcoder The other is Plex Transcoder now use an a external path to load some libraries. the old version didn’t use it. it seems that the new Transcoder don’t detect the parameter -crf on the ffmpeg -crf:0’ …Unrecognized option 'crf:0 when using PRT or DO transcoding. and using the normal transcoding in the new version. So we need to load this path with this extra libraries, any idea? `[AVIOContext @ 0x29a28c0] Statistics: 0 bytes read, 0 seeks 2/7/2016 18:14:07e[0;32mRescanning for external libs:

A new alpha version of `PRT` with preliminary support for `PMS` version 1.0 has been pushed to GitHub [here](https://github.com/wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder/commit/7b64dc977f49b9c64dbe1b09cbfd07a30548e13a). Any feedback from those brave enough to test is greatly appreciated. Please note that this early version has only been tested on Ubuntu. ---

is it something good to know for the last PMS release ? I mean can we expect a functional PRT solution with PMS 1 soon ? ---

I didn’t tested your PRT but in my DigitalOcean transcoder I added: ‘FFMPEG\_EXTERNAL\_LIBS’: os.environ[“FFMPEG\_EXTERNAL\_LIBS”], ‘XDG\_CACHE\_HOME’: os.environ[“XDG\_CACHE\_HOME”], ‘XDG\_DATA\_HOME’: os.environ[“XDG\_DATA\_HOME”], ‘X\_PLEX\_TOKEN’: os.environ[“X\_PLEX\_TOKEN”], ‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_APPLICATION\_SUPPORT\_DIR’: os.environ[‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_APPLICATION\_SUPPORT\_DIR’], ‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_MAX\_STACK\_SIZE’: os.environ[‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_MAX\_STACK\_SIZE’], ‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_MAX\_PLUGIN\_PROCS’: os.environ[‘PLEX\_MEDIA\_SERVER\_MAX\_PLUGIN\_PROCS’] and works again 🙂 ---

> @wnielson said: > A new alpha version of `PRT` with preliminary support for `PMS` version 1.0 has been pushed to GitHub [here](https://github.com/wnielson/Plex-Remote-Transcoder/commit/7b64dc977f49b9c64dbe1b09cbfd07a30548e13a). Any feedback from those brave enough to test is greatly appreciated. Please note that this early version has only been tested on Ubuntu. I’ll give it a try this night. My server is running on Ubuntu and Transcoding sessions are forwarded on 3 slaves EDIT: Its working good ! I had to remove all previous installation of PRT and also uninstall the old PMS transcoder to get it work. The command prt overwrite was not working properly on my case.
