Transcode pod is not created with subpath

[OGKevin]

When i play a video that requires transcoding, the transcode pod dies immediately with the following logs:

container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/transcode/Transcode/Sessions/plex-transcode-4prvaib6gcbct1asr5v9iqce-95126e93-4ec7-46e7-b0ee-5bb2edefb44e\") set in config.json failed: no such file or directory"

however, I'm not quite sure why this is happening. When i enter the main plex container i can see the dir:

kubectl exec -it plex-kube-plex-65564f564c-b5b7p bash
root@plex-kube-plex:/# ls transcode/Transcode/Sessions/
plex-transcode-4prvaib6gcbct1asr5v9iqce-95126e93-4ec7-46e7-b0ee-5bb2edefb44e

any ideas?

Ahh the PMS pods are not using subpaths while the main plex pod does if you specify it!

I'll see if i can make a PR to fix this :)

[OGKevin]

Yea its due to subpath. Plz let me know if a PR is welcome.

@OGKevin did you resolve this? I need this feature.

@gandazgul i could not use subpath, as i needed to rebuild the binary that was spawning the pods and rebuild the image. So i just opted to not use subpath as it was too much of a hassle.

I ended up not being able to use this as the spawend pod that transcode kept dying or was not able to transcode and i just gave up on it. It workes fine w out the transcode pods. If i see i need them again ill prob dig into it. But didn't see the benefit as it works fine with out.

yeah, I do get some issues with network speed but I'm sure if its the pod or something else. ok. thanks for the reply.
