Server Version#:1.42.2.10156Player Version#: ALL DSM Version : DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 3 - DS2419 I’m currently experiencing an issue with my Plex Media Server on Synology: - **Indexing no longer works** : New images and metadata for movies and TV shows are not loading. The yellow loading spinner keeps spinning endlessly. - **Transcoding has failed** : Starting movies and TV shows via the mobile app or browser is no longer possible. - **Log analysis shows the following error** : ```auto [eac3_eae @ 0x7f4a1e071b80] EAE timeout! EAE not running, or wrong folder? Could not read ‘/var/packages/PlexMediaServer/shares/PlexMediaServer/AppData/tmp/pms-54587e9e-8905-40e7-9d06-ac69622565fb/EasyAudioEncoder/Convert to WAV (to 8ch or less)/96fa926e-bbdf-4482-987e-9b1c3181d292_15267-0-107.wav’ ``` ```auto [Req#4f9e8/Transcode/f729d4c8-ff70-445b-81a4-e74aa5380f97/9a7fdcf3-3d8b-47a3-8c6e-f3b1a2c3dee0] [eac3_eae @ 0x7f4dd1c54b80] error reading output: -5 (I/O error) ``` ```auto [Req#4fa6d/Transcode/f729d4c8-ff70-445b-81a4-e74aa5380f97/9a7fdcf3-3d8b-47a3-8c6e-f3b1a2c3dee0] Error while decoding stream #0:1: I/O error ``` - **Troubleshooting attempted** : I followed the instructions provided in this [guide](https://forums.plex.tv/t/synology-faq-questions-answers-and-how-tos/490215/22), but unfortunately without success. Authorization and storage space have been checked - **Additional note for** @ChuckPa: Starting from a certain DSM version, it is no longer possible to run scripts directly as the “root” user. Therefore, access via SSH/Putty is required to execute administrative commands properly. the instructions would have to be adjusted - **Assumption** : I suspect the issue is not caused by the number of media files, but possibly by the amount of generated thumbnails. Unfortunately, I lack the Linux knowledge to investigate this further. My English too ---
