Hi.
I have already installed the PMS several times, Each time there is an error that is missing a codec.
I’m using Plex on my TV(LG).
Currently I have only 2 codecs, I have copied from another computer.
dca_decoder.dll
h264_decoder.dll
I have a few movies, still missing a codec ,It seems to me because it is AC3.
I installed on another computer PMS and from there I copied the codecs to this computer.
I can play almost all the movie ,can’t play movie with AC3.
Don’t have AC3 codec on both PC.
I almost solved the problem of the codecs and another problem:forums.plex.tv/discussion/315481/can-t-play-movie-on-lg-conversion-failed#latest
Placing codecs on your server will not fix your LG tv issue.
Plex already uses it’s own codecs. You need to disable the direct play of AC3 or DTS in your TV Plex, or TV settings themselves, so the sound is transcoded.
Plex Media Server downloads the codecs it needs when the need arises. It also downloads previously used codecs when updating versions of Plex Media Server
I’ve been facing this problem for several months. I ended up installing an older plex version in another computer and moving the codecs to mine. Let’s make a pool of codecs and try helping to solve other people problems. I have these list of codecs, please add the ones not present in the current list:
