Ubuntu-Ubuntu with PMS 1.12.1.4885 not working

[IvanCharcos]

Does not seem to be working with this setup.

I followed everything in the Ubuntu-Ubuntu tutorial but the streams are still being transcoded by the master.

Please let me know if there anything I can provide to ease debugging.

Hi,

The readme me (kind of unclearly) states that the current PRT hasn’t been fully tested to be supported with the current version of Plex...however I run it and it works ok for me. The most common problem for people with installing the newer versions of Plex is they turn on hardware encoding and PRT won’t function with that turned on due to the way that they’ve coded their software. It’s not meant to work the way we made it run across multiple systems and we can trick the software into running when it’s using CPU for the workload but graphics hardware is a very different and ridged beast unless the developers included some standard components which would have allowed it...which they didn’t unfortunately.

TLDR - in the Plex server settings, go to transcoder and untuck “use hardware acceleration when available” and try again.

Unfortunately, that one didnt solve the problem.

Cleaned up a bit and made sure all directories are set correctly (mountpoints/permissions) as well as network connectivity working.

Still nothing.

Now my local Plex transcoding wont even work properly..

Have you figured out your issue.. I just noticed this, i Had 1.12.0 working,

[IvanCharcos]

I never figured it out. I ended up just installing PMS in a docker on the main transcoding server.

Ok was just hoping you weren't still struggling with it..

Thank you. My friends/family were bugging me about it so I had no choice but to start the server somewhere else! =)
