Plex server on Linux in Docker: frequent transcode errors when not transcoding

A quick update. This morning I noticed you had written this. Based on your docker run example, I changed my /tmp and /transcode docker volumes to use the same folder in my Plex install directory (they had been separate):

volumes:
  - /volume2/docker/media-apps/plex/tmp:/tmp
  - /volume2/docker/media-apps/plex/tmp:/transcode

Then, I gave my docker user execute permissions to everything in my Plex folder recursively (I’m still crappy with chmod, so I did that in Synology DSM) … and restarted the container. No more high CPU use.

Probably only the second part did anything, but this does seem to be fixed now. Thank you again! Hopefully this helps future docker users who struggle with volume mapping.

One note, I got those chown and chmod commands from the Trash guides for Synology. It’s not the place to note this, but I’ve had to do a lot of fixing after using those guides.
