Hi,
Thanks for the instructions and all the great comments here that have got me up and running with Plex ... almost ;)
Plex is up and running, has connection to the internet all media has been added and metadata downloaded...
The main issue I have is playing transcoded media (non transcoded is fine) and from looking at the plex logs I see this:
Mar 07, 2018 00:29:01.879 [0x80d651a00] DEBUG - HTTP 200 response from GET

Mar 07, 2018 00:29:02.182 [0x80afd4100] DEBUG - Killing job.
So I am assuming this is some permissions issue but if I su to plex and curl the same file and unzip it in the codecs directory all seems fine so I am stuck...
In my /mnt/apps/plex/Plex Media Server/Codecs I see a dir is created (EasyAudioEncoder-141-freebsd-x86_64.tmp):
root@valhalla:/mnt/tank/apps/plex/Plex Media Server/Codecs # ls -al
total 88
drwxrwxr-x+ 4 plex plex 5 Mar 7 17:44 .
drwxrwxr-x+ 9 plex plex 10 Mar 7 17:43 ..
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 plex plex 36 Mar 6 20:45 .device-id
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 plex plex 9 Mar 6 22:46 b077134-1269-freebsd-x86_64
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 plex plex 3 Mar 7 17:44 EasyAudioEncoder-141-freebsd-x86_64.tmp
Inside that is a dir EasyAudioEncoder
and under that a file
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 plex plex 1366640 Mar 7 17:44 EasyAudioEncoder
Plex is running with the plex user, so I am stuck here...
Also regarding updates to plex I see there is a 1.12 version out there but I have 1.11.0.4666 - have tried adding the repository and pkg update and upgrade but nothing seems to happen for me here.
Appreciate any suggestions :D
