"This server is not powerful enough to convert video."

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.28.0.5999
Player Version#: Chrome on Windows

After a server update and changing+reverting the Transcoder options (Settings/Transcoder) on the server it gives me this error message no matter what I try to play. I don’t know if the update or my changing the settings caused this but I have tried every combination of settings and I cannot get it to work again. Logs attached with my last attempt being to play a “Jewel - Live” video.

Note that I had/have transcoding disabled. I’m using a mini PC with an Intel Core i3-3220T CPU, 8GB RAM, SSD.

UPDATE. I left it a while and it just started working again. Weird!

This is happening to me things i had recently watched would not play. i have not changed my settings and have been using Plex over 10 years. it seems the more crap they are adding the worse it actually becomes. Any advise as to how to rectify this would be appreciated as i cant be bothered to re-encode all my files. Emby plays them with no trouble
