I'm seeing Plex's transcoder attempt to connect and be unable to read the data:
http://10.10.10.124:55555/devices/vbox-3A4F/media/TF1: Invalid data found when processing input

Does Live TV without the remote transcoder?
In fact after the remote transcoder fails, it should continue on the local PMS server, so it shouldn't fail completely.
2025-11-18T10:44:25.644031824+01:00 Distributed transcoder failed, calling local

Could it be a limitation enforced by Plex Pass?

Hello,

10.10.10.124 is my vbox device. It does work on a regular docker install and I do have Plex Pass.

If you change the transcoding mode to local only, so that the PMS is the one transcoding and not the worker, it may be interesting to see the difference in the logs.

With transcode on local, I have this on PMS :

And as expected, nothing on orchestrator and worker.

It says it's recording but it's not. Transcoder is working because I have a movie transcoding at the same time (not in the logs as I have filtered on the ID 139890936367928).

Hi,

I have setup an xteve instance, with my vbox as a source. It works much better, it now plays the channels with local transcoding.

The vbox might use different URLs than HDHomeRun or xteve ? It's listed in the compatibility list on Plex website.
Should we close the ticket or do you still want to investigate ?

Thansk,
Tristan,
