This sounded exactly like the problem I was having! But checking at the server showed that there was plenty of temp-space available!Īt this point, I was already searching for the error for more than an hour and thought about giving up and reinstalling the server-side of Plex. In the settings, you can point the temp transcode folder to a drive with more space (I pointed mine to a new share on my NAS) and everything should be fine again. It’s a check that was just added a couple of updates ago. It’s because you don’t have enough temp space to transcode the entire file. It seemed to suggest that my temporary file space was not big enough: The files are h264 MKVs at about 15-20 GBs Installed Plex on my 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.3 and TV Shows play fine, those are around 1.5 GBs, but the two movies I’ve tried don’t play at all. They were and I couldn’t remember that I updated the software recently.Īfter some more searching I found this thread on reddit:
#Plex media server not responding android#
One of the first things people said was to make sure that I had up-to-date versions of the Plex media server and the Android app. So I began searching for clues on the internet. Trying other movies I noticed that no movies at all were playing!
#Plex media server not responding movie#
Some minutes had already passed and before letting this evening go to waste and possibly anger my girlfriend, I decided to instead watch the still working tv show with her.įast forward the next day, the movie was still not playing. So I tried to run something else and noticed, that the shows apparently seemed to work! But I quickly dismissed this idea because I knew that this movie played fine the first time I did a test run with it. My first thought was that the movie was somehow corrupt or has some audio or video codecs that aren’t supported. I started to think about what the problem could be. But that did not help, the movie still didn’t play. I knew, if I didn’t fix this right now, the evening would be ruined! Instead, this really helpful error message appeared on the tv screen: But one evening when my girlfriend and I wanted to watch a movie, it suddenly didn’t want to start. the Android app running on my Android TV box, connected to my tv in the living room.the Plex Media Server running on my server.I use Plex to manage and view all my movies, tv shows and music located at my personal home storage system.
