Plex Server on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Trying to get Android, Web and PS4 client to work.
All clients worked on 0.9, deleted old .deb files so can't revert to older version (crap).
Things I've tried:
- Ensure media is playable without Plex over local network. It is, all media plays fine through VLC.
- Ensure there is enough free disk space to transcode the desired film. There is plenty of space.
- Scan over Plex Media Server.log to find errors. I found that there is a "broken pipe" error, which probably means that the ffmpeg transcoding session exploded but I can't find any log detailing what ffmpeg was doing at the time it failed. Maybe missing libraries?
I have attached a verbose logging session of the server starting, and then me clicking Play on a movie in the Web client, and then shutting down the server.
It seems like everything goes fine up until the client starts waiting for progress from the transcoder. Interesting stuff starts on line 715 where it logs that there is sufficient disk space, and logs the ffmpeg parameters. ffmpeg transcoder process is started and seems to start transcoding stuff (lines 789, 838) but then the client process realizes the transcoder is dead on line 848.
I need some help figuring out what could have gone wrong. This happens with every piece of media that I have, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with a particular format.
Is there another log where the transcoding process is logged? How do I troubleshoot this?
