Plex has been incredible to use, but just the other day it all of the sudden started to error whenever a movie or tv show needed to be transocded.

I have since downgraded and it’s working flawlessly. I hope that you guys are able to figure out what’s going on. Again, thank you for all of your help @ChuckPa , it’s never easy dealing with a situation like this and I appreciate your quick responses.

That will be fine thanks. I’m fully 4K-capable here.

I am also affected by this. Downgrading from 1.30.0.6442 to 1.29.2.6364 fixed the issue. I am running PMS on Arch Linux. If there is any info I can collect to help diagnose, please let me know.

My logs are on the above post if that is what you are looking for.

I am looking for a sample of the file which (re)creates the problem. What I’ll do here is invoke the debugger and see where the code doesn’t like it. That’s what I give to the transcoder team (point them in a direction) If you can create a 1-2 minute sample file (other videos section) and that fi…

Did a 3minute and 6 minute neither reproduced the error. Trying a 20 minute
