Server Version#: 1.26.1.5772  
Hi guys,

I run the latest PMS self-compiled-port on freebsd 13.0.  
Everything is working fine, including hardware transcoding on my good old i7 3770t  
Everything, but these strange, numerous, Warnings I got in the Log file, cf. below.  
Apparently I am not the only one having these but couldn’t find the way to solve this in the forums ( not looking at the log is not really a solution 🙂 ).  
I do not have any non-standard Plex Agent alive and my configuration / my ports are all up to date.  
I have already tried rebuilding my librairies from scratch. No luck.  
What can I do?

Fafa

Thanks kazz. That is my suscpicion too but tbh these lines are so many it really doesn’t help reading the log file 🙂  
Come on great Plex team, let’s fix this 🙂

There’s nothing to fix 😉

It’s a step in development for something on the way, so as said, ignore for now
