Hello everyone!
I was about to kill my whole machine and go with Windows 10 as my Plex Media Server but I thought i'd give this forum a shot. Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
Without getting into a long winded essay about how my openmediavault experience has been, I want to share that I built this server with having a PlexMediaServer in mind. OMV on paper seemed like the perfect fit.
Things I've gotten to work thanks to this forum:
-NZBGet (Docker)
-Radarr (Docker)
-Sonarr(Docker)
-Tautulli (Docker)
-MergerFS
-Snapraid (daily syncs)
-ShellinaBox
-VirtualBox
However, I can't seem to get PLEX to transcode in either docker or the default plugin. Everything else seems to be set up perfectly and even has updated itself in the time I've spent trying to get it to work. LOL
My experience is the following:
-Direct-Play works flawlessly and with multiple clients
-Transcoding always fails immediately or a minute or so into the movie. Multiple movie files have been tested.
Things I've tried:
-give exec permissions to the user in the config directory.
-give exec permissions in the config.xml file
-modify fstab file
-give root permissions to the docker
-try official docker image from Plex
-try setting up a VirtualMachine using VIrtual Box for just plex... lol yes I was that desperate...
They all produce this error, "Playback Error. Conversion Failed. The transcoder process crashed."
I will try and attach as many things as possible but please let me know if I can provide any other info.
Thank you again guys for the free help.
BTW, I couldn't upload most files so I included GDrive links... lol
