The problem with verbose is that it is too much information. The log files can wrap very quickly and desired info can be lost.
Also, PMS must be restarted when lowering the log level. Otherwise the setting will not take effect. I’m not sure it is documented, but the restart step was added several months ago.
Also, since you’re on a DS920+…
This won’t help with Frasier, just an FYI.
Hardware accelerated transcoding has been broken on the DS920+ for quite some time. It is fixed in 1.32.8.7639, the current beta release. The beta can be downloaded from plex.tv.
Here’s the release notes: Plex Media Server - #607 by gbooker02
