Transcode Runner Appears To Have Died

Hello all, I’m just getting started with plex. I can’t seem to stream a single test file to any kind of client.

I’m running on linux via docker with a very minimal setup
logs.txt (138.0 KB)

The logs show that the Transcode runner appears to have died. What’s interesting is that the first segment is transcoded just fine. Right after the first segment is transcoded, the following log is emitted

Sep 26, 2023 05:09:23.987 [140388561283896] Debug — Jobs: '/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder' exit code for process 2022 is 0 (success)

Then, subsequent segments are requested in the following loop:

Which somewhat makes sense to me, as the transcoder process exists successfully. However, I have no idea why or how to debug any further.

Can anyone help me?
