Running Snap Plex Media Server Version 1.25.8.566 on Ubuntu 22.04
I am trying to get the Version Optimization to work but I keep getting a vague unclear error:
unable to convert
My media library is located on
/media/libraries/
Due to limited space on my main SSD, I moved the ‘Plex Media Server’ folder to a different location on its own SSD:
/media/plex/
using the following:
sudo cp -a /var/snap/plexmediaserver/common/Library/‘Application Support’/‘Plex Media Server’/. /media/plex/‘Plex Media Server’
sudo rm -rf /var/snap/plexmediaserver/common/Library/‘Application Support’/‘Plex Media Server’
sudo ln -s /media/plex/‘Plex Media Server’ /var/snap/plexmediaserver/common/Library/‘Application Support’/
This seem to work just fine and I am not getting any errors after doing that. I also created the Directory
/media/Plex/optimized/
with a subfolder for each of the libraries and I set the ownership to root so Snap Plex can read and write to those directories. That solved the error of " unable to write to disk" when using this directory to save the optimized versions.
The console tap in Plex is not showing me any errors so I have no idea how to start figuring out the source of the problem. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Your help is much appreciated.
Edit: The console tap in Plex is showing me an error:
[Transcoder] Unrecognized option ‘crf:0’. [Transcoder] Error splitting the argument list: Option not found
I had two windows open next to each other where i tried transcoding in one and observed the console on the other.
