After updating from 1.14.1.5488 to 1.15.0.569 on Ubuntu 18.04 the transcoder went haywire. Only a little of thousands of video was playable on clients side. “transcoder process crashed”, “conversion failed” and “transcoding unsupported” were the errors on web client, ios and other clients. Tried to delete Codecs folder and PMS downloaded new codecs but the error were still there.
So i downgraded to 1.14.1.5488 and now everything works fine as it was before. Just to let you know…
PMS thinks there is something there. From what I can tell, a non-printable character has snuck in.
