Some content pixelating randomly while playing

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
,
1

Server Version#: 1.41.2.9200
Player Version#: Roku Streaming Stick 4K, Plex version - v7.26.14.9611 running on a TCL 55P605 TV (Class P6-Series 4K UHD Dolby Vision HDR Roku Smart TV). I am playing my content from my home.
Plex is running on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS through Docker v27.3.1 and Portainer Community Edition v2.21.4
Hardware: Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel-N100, Seagate 4 TB Ironwolf drive (in its own separate external USB enclosure), Seagate 8 TB Ironwolf drive (in its own separate external USB enclosure).

Once every couple days I run into issues with TV shows pixelating. Sometimes it will correct itself, sometimes it won’t. If I rewind the show sometimes it fixes it. If I reboot the container it can fix it, but I’ve also had an issue where I rebooted the TV and the issue persisted. I do not have another way to test this as I only use the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and none of my other users are actively using Plex to check with them and see if they had any similar issues. I am only using this server for Plex. If I open the file itself on my PC and check it for issues/corruption, the file is always fine.

Here is an example of what is happening: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

My docker-compose:

---
version: '3'
services:
    plex:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
        container_name: plex
        network_mode: host
        environment:
            - TZ=America/New_York
            - PLEX_CLAIM=claim--edited
            - ADVERTISE_IP=http://192.168.200.151:edited/
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
        volumes:
            - /home/tom/dockervolumes/plex/config:/config
            - /home/tom/dockervolumes/plex/transcode:/transcode
            - /home/tom/media/4tbstorage/TV:/tv4
            - /home/tom/media/4tbstorage/Movies:/movies4
            - /home/tom/media/8tbstorage/TV:/tv8
            - /home/tom/media/8tbstorage/Movies:/movies8
        devices:
            - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
        restart: unless-stopped

I have logs from two different dates and times the issue happened.

First set of logs: 11/28/24 @ 12:00 AM, didn’t try to troubleshoot and went to bed.

Second set of logs: 12/1/24 @ 10:35 PM, resolved itself about 60 seconds later.

As an additional troubleshooting step, I’ve completely factory reset my TV and Roku stick and reinstalled Plex but the issue persists.

I ended up replacing the Roku stick with a different Roku device and the issue stopped.
