If you see a 429 response message in your logs when attempting to download codecs, this means that you’re spamming this call and our backend is temporarily blocking these requests. The only way to get around this is to wait. I do not know the exact time that you’ll need to wait but stopping PMS and waiting some amount of time (10-60 minutes) should be sufficient.

Just mentioning this in case you’re looking at your logs. Also X-posting

A required codec could not be found or failed to install

The issue of our backend serving bad codecs should be resolved. This is the SHA1 error you might have seen in your logs. What could also have happened is whenever you attempt playback and codec is missing, PMS would attempt to download them again. However It fails (SHA1) again, again, and again. This then flags the IP address (where ever the PMS is installed) as requesting too many times (429). So if you were flagged by 429 and continue to attempt playback you would continue to receive the 42…

If you continue to see this issue please share your PMS logs.
