Just tested it again and it definitely does. I chose a specific chapter and it fails the moment I select it.
How big is that file? I might be able to make arrangements with you outside the forum if you’re willing ?
A better word than fail would be that the error code starts showing up and then it fails a few seconds to a minute later.
The file I am currently on is 13.5 GB. I’m willing to help out any way that I can!
Plex doesn’t have a site nor do I have one. The only thing I have which might be of use is GoogleDrive
I can hold it there but not sure how to get the file from you to me.
Might you have GoogleDrive or some other cloud service we can tap for a few minutes?
I do have GoogleDrive and I just checked if I have enough space to utilize it. It says I’ve got 15 GB so we should be good!
Check PM
I did get some audio/video not in sync messages here and there as well when playing the movie.
It also would indefinitely sync at the begging after multiple tries and would play if i skipped passed that part.
@ChuckPa hey any update on the issue and if there will be a fix. Sorry just curious since im having a hard time figuring out how to downgrade my server to the previous code version.
Engineering has everything and are working on it now.
I don’t know when they’ll have it fixed but, given the holidays, I would consider temporarily backing down to PMS 1.29.2 so you have TrueHD over the holidays.

Awesome thank you for the information.
TO ALL FOLLOWING HERE
I just got out of a call with the Engineering team about this.
They (and I – because I’m doing some investigating for them now – ) is the smallest sample which reproduces it + the PMS logs.
What I will do (they showed me how) they want the debugger & strace run
Can anyone help with samples?
(I’ll do all the recreation work. Just need the samples. 13GB ‘samples’ are a bit much. haha)
Chuck you want more samples of the 7.1 truehd files? Everytime i attempted to recreate the issue with reducing the file it wouldnt fail. Would you like pms logs of the issue?
That’s what happens to me.
If you carefully watch your log file ( tail -F Plex Media Server.log ) I’ve found it fails around block 120 (based on my CPU). Block 120 translates to a 512 MB ‘dd’ chunk.
If you remux the files in any way,
- FFMPEG barks at null timestamps, fixes it, and the issue never appears again.
- Mkvmerge silently fixes it.
Anything you can whittle down with dd works. Shoot for the 512 MB size
Hey Chuck. Ill see if i can figure that out. Im not familiar with dd but will use the help and such to try to get a file that recreates. This might take some time.
The joys of using Linux … man dd 
something like dd if=filename.xxx of=new_name.xxx bs=1048576 count=N
where N is the magical number small enough to reproduce the error.
Alright looks like I got one at 465MB.
Looks like I can’t upload it here as it’s to big. Do you have a one drive or something I can upload it to?
Thank you,
Check your PM from me.
@ChuckPa, let me know if you need more samples. I am also facing this issue since a couple of weeks, but hadn’t time to investigate until now. My PMS logs are spammed with:
plex Error while decoding stream #0:2: No space left on device
I encounter this issue with all content from DVD to UHD… And not sure if this is related but it completely broke my GoogleTVs. After roughly 2min of playback my PMS logs get spammed with the upper message and my docker logs show:
plex decoder error 121
After ~5min playback crashes and I have to hard reset the GoogleTVs to get them to play anything again (until it crashes again after another ~5min).
Playback in the browser and on my Nvidia Shield strangely works fine. Downgrading to 1.29.2 however, solves all of the issues.
