Hi all,
I just recently set up a new home server and have installed plex-media-server. Unfortunately, I am unable to play any videos that require transcoding. Direct play works perfectly fine.
Looking at Plex's server log, it looks like it encounters a 404 whenever it tries to download needed codecs.
Does anyone have any experience or insight with this? I can post any/all logs that might be useful for debugging purposes.
I should maybe note that this server is replacing a server that also had Plex on it, which had no problems playing any media. I'm really at a loss as to why it's now not working.
Thanks in advance for anyone who might help!

Just following up, I was misguided about what was causing the problem.
Per the wik's security recommendations, I had added the 'noexec' option to /var in /etc/fstab. This breaks functionality for Plex, so I just had to remove that parameter and everything works great now!

I've tried many DLNA media servers for my own home network. All of them have problems, except this one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ums
Universal Media Server just bleepin' works and it transcodes everything perfectly as needed too. Give it a shot.
