Hi,
I've just upgraded to the latest Plex Pass (v1.3.2) release for PMS from a previous Plex Pass version for a few weeks ago (v1.3.0 I think). This upgrade appears to have broken playback for a lot of my files. From the logs, it seems to be a transcoder issue.
I have a lot of videos recorded from UK Freeview, and use an Apple TV for the Frontend - these files require transcoding to play back well on this frontend (there are glitches otherwise). I've had this setup for the past year - PMS transcoding these files to the frontend - without a problem.
With the latest update, none of these files are playing back. The files with latm-aac audio and h264 video don't play back at all. The files with other types of audio (e.g. ac3) and h264 are playing back audio, but no video. The PMS logs are as follows when I start playback of a file.
v1.3.2 log - Files Don't Play Back - spinning icon for 30 secs, then quits.
