Any client is unable to play media if a transcode is needed. Will load with a spinning circle indefinitely. Plays direct play just fine. I notice these two errors in the console when i force the transcode. [image] Server is running in an ubuntu lxc on proxmox. Attaching Server Media Logs that show…

Do an analysis on the media you are trying to play. I’ve gotten an error similar/identical to yours. It seems that either the video “lost” the analysis info, or never did it in the first place. My thoughts: Plex can direct play the file, since it just sends the video in a stream to the client. B…

Analyzed that movie. Played after complete. Now showing these errors. Still just stuck on loading. [image]

Ignore the “unknown media type: folder” , it’s scanner noise. Been trying to get it suppressed for a long time. Did you pass all of /dev/dri into the container and do you have UID/GID matching ? ( PMS runs non-privileged ) In the container, you should see that plex is a member of the group wh…

I installed it with tteck script about a year ago. Don’t remember messing too much with user permissions. I ran ls-l /dev/dri/renderD128 and got this as a result if it helps. Sorry for the ignorance.

These are the contents of that directory. I do not see a .device_id file. Should I delete all of these? [image] These are the contents of the 3 folders that aren’t the .zip [image]

Removed all contents from /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/1c96867-c7c51eae1050ee8a09ae8dc1-linux-x86_64 [image] Restarted PMS. Same error/issue [image] Please let me know if i delete the correct contents.

In Linux, to remove a directory and it’s contents: rm -rf directory_name_or_wildcard

Got it. Thanks. Ran rm -rf /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/ Took a snapshot of the ct before in case I did it for the wrong directory. Restarted pms and forced transcode again. Same error. [image] [image]
