Transcoding config not fully working

[CFLA]

Hey.
It looks like the transcode temp directory option is not fully working as i am still seeing transcoding going to /tmp. I have updated this option through the gui which the Preferences.xml file represents the change, however it looks like only live stream transcoding is using the new directory where the schedualed transcoding does not.

plex 33719 18099 14 14:15 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Transcoder -codec:#0x02 aac -analyzeduration 20000000 -probesize 20000000 -i
[root~]# lsof -p 33719 | grep tmp
Plex 33719 plex 6w REG 253,4 81002574 19 /tmp/e23b8e2d-7133-463d-8ce0-727b39634b65

Is this a bug?? I would have opened a support ticket but i did not find that feature.

Thanks

PMS stopped honoring temporary directory setting. Now uses /tmp

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2843 Recently Plex server stopped honoring the setting: TranscoderTempDirectory="/plex/tmp" It created a directory /tmp/pms- and files in /tmp that look like random uuids. I have only recently ran into this issue after running PMS for at least 5 years. The files and dir were created a little after 3:00am, but I don’t see that anyone was accessing the PMS at that time. I’m running on the beta channel, but will be reverting to stable to see if the problem goes away.
