So after a bit of messing around I decided to turn off the Store Track Progress in the Library section for my Music. And my library had grown significantly recently, so the possibility of something else I’d done was high.

It seemed to coincide with a recent update. I thought it was just a bug that must have been introduced with the latest Plex update.

Whatever I did with the transcoder didn’t fix the problem. I changed the transcoding speed versus quality settings. Nevertheless, I tried switching off hardware transcoding. Plex Transcoding Error?Įverything I found online through Bing or Google searches led me to believe that it was a transcoding error – although there was no evidence that was the case in the logs. Indeed, the progress bar would get to 5-10 seconds into the song and then drop straight back to the beginning. On some songs the progress bar didn’t show any progress at all, but the song would look like it was going to start playing, but never actually did. The progress bar across the bottom would often show the progress as being mostly finished, but no song had played. Other times, it just wouldn’t play at all. Sometimes it would play but would stutter a lot. Plex Music will not play some tracks despite the fact that it used to. Not the library specifically, but whichever app I use to play my music, a lot of it was just not playing. So, for the past few weeks I’ve been experiencing something of an annoyance with my Plex Music library.
