I found this in the error log: Aug 24, 2020 12:38:59.306 [0944] WARN - IsDirWritable: directory ‘"J:\Recode\Plex Versions\Original Quality\The Yorkshire Vet "’ is not writable^M Aug 24, 2020 12:38:59.306 [0944] ERROR - TranscodeJobManager: [Running] directory is not writable: "J:\Recode\Plex Versi…

Crazy!!. So, I had to use my Linux machine to do this (I have a SAMBA mount to the Windows Plex server), and it is not really a good solution, but this is how I fixed it Went directly to the Optimized Versions directory from my Linux box Use the Linux command line to create a directory that has a…

BTW: I just checked from Linux. Before you ask…there is no space at the end of the original directory name where the .ts file is recorded…Plex is just randomly adding a space to the target location when it tries to optimize.

Please provide full logs zip and not snippets of log lines so that this can be progressed Also would help to include actual screenshots of list directory

[Files] Plex Media Server.2.log (10.1 MB) Filers attached. As you can see I now have 2 “The Yorkshire Vet” dirs in my recode output location. The one with the trailing space contains the files that Plex optimized. Also in the other terminal window, you see that the original directory the .ts file …

This problem happened again with a completely diferent folder name last night. I started recording a new show in exactly the same place, optimizing to the same place, and optimize failed with the identical error. As soon as I created the directory with the space at the end of the name, it worked fi…

Thank you for the log and directory details. There would be two potential fixes for this - truncating trailing space in title when optimizing or making sure no trailing space is saved in the title As you can see there is a space at the end of the title - between “Vet” and the “)” character Aug 24…

It’s not actually Plex doing the recording, so in fact there is no XML file in the folder in this case. Here’s how the setup works: On a machine running Debian Linux, NextPVR records a TV show, and writes it to a disk on the Windows Plex server (mounted via a SAMBA mount). I have switched off XML…
