Hi
can anyone tell me how i can tell if Plex is using the 240gb SSD i put in for transcoding duty?
I increased the transcode throttle to 500 seconds but i have no idea if this transcode drive is even doing anything in my system.
i7 3770 4c 8t
Ubuntu 18.04 lts
Server Version#:
Here is the log - i wont add tips again i did think adding a transcode driver would be under tips as its an extra to the system.
If the SSD is not doing anything i can just pop it in a different server before i add my music collection to plex its been a journey using linux

You have permission errors.
The transcoder temp directory doesn’t allow user plex to write to it.

Thank you for this help.
i changed the /home/handofgod/transcoder folder to
sudo chown -R plex:plex /home/handofgod/transcoder
Changed the _R to -R just incase this works. No idea if it’s working still as the log files are crazy in volume and no idea which one to look at.

Hopefully it was chown -R

hopefully it works
just waiting for the Tv Tuner to arrive as this plex stuff isnt just buy a plex pass and its all unlocked but nothing worth having is easy
if its not actually doing anything i will prob pop the ssd in the nas server as a cashe drive
@ChuckPa any chance you can tell me which log file to look in as i still dont know if the drive is being used.

This is what you’re looking for
Thank you @ChuckPa it looks like the sudo chown -R Plex:Plex worked and no eror lines on FFMPEG
Thank you for your help.
I’m sorry i didn’t jump on _R versus -R.
I had assumed a typing error while preparing for the R .
Yeah it was a typing error with the R i had used -R not _R
TV Tuner Arrives today so onwards and upwards
Again thank you for the help.
