Server version: 1.9.6.4429 on Raspberry Pi

I’m trying to stream old TV shows to my PC, PS4 and my Fire stick. 4 of the TV shows work perfectly, but 26 of them start loading, then my apps come up with the error “Transcoder crashed or failed to start up”

I deleted the cache and transcoder sync directory, to no avail.

The drive containing your `Library` (metadata), which is where the codecs are stored, is either mounted with the `noexec` or not mounted with the `exec` option. `Exec` permission is required. The codecs are executable modules loaded on demand
