![]() Use 2nd USB flash drive, format it as EXT4 That way you protect your rootfs a little bit better. For me and the Plex updates that I have applied, the version of ffmpeg has changed (6) times in the past two months.> also need to figure out how to get the Pro to reliĪdd the mount command to /etc/fstab or /etc/rc.local, and specify the option that if it fails to mount then ignore the failure. The real trick is making certain you are downloading codecs for the same version of ffmpeg (the transcoder) that Plex is using. However, if its something thats not physically in the directory, than it should be in the system Registry. I can't say for certain for Windows, but I would be surprised if its not. Trying to download all of them in a batch to then bring over to an offline server is tricky.Įverything you need to perform the query should be obtainable if you have direct access to the Plex app directory (for files to look at and apps to query). ![]() Unfortunately, Plex only downloads them on-the-fly as needed. ![]() Search for "codecs" etc, and you can see the website transactions that it performs to request and download codecs. A great way to see what is going on behind the scenes is to look through your plex logs. I've stuck my head in this hole a few times, so let me know if you have any other questions. So, you can see that these codec directory names directly reflect the ffmpeg version, operating system, and processor architecture. My singular/current codec dir on a Synology NAS look like this: /volume1/PlexMediaServer/AppData/Plex Media Server/Codecs/c4efa15-4387-linux-x86_64 To illustrate what I wrote, although Plex only keeps and maintains a singular/current codec directory, if it kept them all, the directories would look something like this: /Codecs/c4efa15-4387-linux-x86_64 (I know this because of how much trial and error it took to figure all of this out) Too many requests to their system gets you blocked for 30 minutes. My script is written in Bash and is specific to automatically getting the necessary information from Plex running natively on a Synology NAS. And there very well could be codecs I have missed. I had to guess a majority of the codecs names that Plex uses. If you update Plex and your transcoder is updated, you need to download a whole new set of codecs.Īlso, this list of codecs I managed to download and use on my system is the result of a lot of guesswork. Sometimes it doesn't work and you end up with essentially a broken codec for that version of ffmpeg. It is unsafe to use previous codecs with a newer version of the transcoder. The reason I was able to determine the (32) in the list I posted (which is 29 decoders and 3 encoders) is because I wrote a script that dynamically uses my system information against a list of guesses for codec names. Also note that Codec file names between Windows and Linux are also unique/different, so its not the same list although it is similar.Įvery time a Plex server is updated to a new version of the transcoder (which is a custom version of ffmpeg), it spawns a new directory set of codecs. ![]()
