Plex wont do anything other than direct play and wont direct play on Kodi

  • Hey guys,


    So I just built a new server.
    2x E5-2620-v4 (32 cores)
    128gb DDR4 ECC ram


    Main pool: ZFS and
    Docker is on a MDADM RAID mirror with 2x 1TB SSD's - EXT4.
    Docker, also has the docker /config folders and the transcode for Plex.


    Plex has the same PUID and PGID of the directories, and when trying to transcode it creates the \transcode\Transcode\Sessions directories all on its own with the same permissions.


    But transcode never works it just stalls and doesnt do anything then fails.


    The second issue is I installed LibreELEC -> Plex addon on my Intel NUC8i3BEK.
    Plex constantly shudders, and buffers every second pausing for about 10 seconds at a time.
    It just doesnt play, 4k, 1080p you name it, nada.
    BUT if I add the directories to Kodi itself, it plays flawlessly without hiccup at all.


    Does anyone have any clue to the above?
    I read stuff and someone mentioned exec option in /etc/ftsab?
    This is my current fstab, and I'm not sure what to change:


    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    # / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
    UUID=214f864f-06b1-4a54-b21c-77372d3e460c / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
    # /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
    UUID=5405-32BE /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
    # swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
    UUID=8665f0fb-0ce3-40f6-aa45-933ea3eae975 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
    # >>> [openmediavault]
    /dev/disk/by-label/jailhouse /srv/dev-disk-by-label-jailhouse ext4 defaults,nofail,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,discard,acl 0 2
    # <<< [openmediavault]


    EDIT: If I play on my mobile phone using Plex client, 4k plays perfectly no issues (Direct Play, not transcoding. Transcoding still doesnt work on mobile)
    Also I followed TechnoDads Vids for Plex Docker.


    EDIT2: I changed:
    /dev/disk/by-label/jailhouse /srv/dev-disk-by-label-jailhouse ext4 defaults,nofail,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,discard,acl 0 2
    to:
    /dev/disk/by-label/jailhouse /srv/dev-disk-by-label-jailhouse ext4 defaults,nofail,user_xattr,exec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,discard,acl 0 2


    Rebooted server and it actually looks like its working ok now :)

    If you edited fstab, this change will not be persistent.
