Transcoding fails

Server Version#: Debian 9, Kernel 4.17, OpenMediaVault4
Player Version#: docker linuxserver 1.13.5.5332-21ab172de

I installed Plex as a Docker Container in OMV4, but i am not able to playback Movies.
The transcoding always fails stating: conversion failed, transcoder stopped due to an error.

What i tried:

  • reinstalling the docker package
  • givine permissions to the /transcode/plex/ file

I attached a recent Mediaserver Log file.
Would be great if so could help.

This is a very common problem. The reason for this is the disk Host path you pointed the Container path /config to is not mounted with the exec option.

A partial temporary fix is to as root edit the /etc/fstab file and change the noexec mount option for that disk to exec, save the file, and run as root mount -a or reboot the machine.

The permanent solution involves making configuration changes within OMV itself. I suggest you go to or return to the OMV users forum and ask for this help there:

Thank you for your reply, i have already tried that, and it didn’t work, but apparently, if you try it 3 more times and reboot even more, it finally works.
Thank you :slight_smile:
