Issue with credit detection

[flopon]

End credit detection is offered by plex server since 1.31.0.

There is definitely a lot to fix on PLEX team side (forum is full of bug reports), but I think there is also an issue specifically when using clusterplex, as I have been able to use it when disactivating the docker mod, but was not able to use it whit docker mod enabled (log showing a "Job failed: Decryption failed" error in this case.

Is someone been able to use PLEX credit detection while using clusterplex ?

Yeah, I think you may be right. Just tested it and I've found an issue related to credit detection, which causes the worker to fail. However, I'm not entirely sure the "Decryption failed" error is caused by us, that seems to happen either way, from what I saw on the forum issues. I'll let you know once I have a fix ready so you can try it out.

Release v1.4.5 https://github.com/pabloromeo/clusterplex/releases/tag/v1.4.5 should fix the Credits Detection issue

Nop, still having the same issue, with a [Req#3d5/CreditsDetectionManager] Job failed: Decryption failed error, not present in the log if I remove the docker mod.

The file is readen on local server, but the credit detection fail. Seems to be trickier than just on ly having to read the file locally !

I will try to do some more analysis the next week.

That's odd! Yeah, ultimately what I was seeing is that Plex's Credits Detection was also calling the transcoder (which we overwrite), however, for Credits Detection they don't respect their own configured transcode path, and instead use /tmp directly. Using /tmp fails with ClusterPlex since it's not shared across workers. Ultimately what I did was bypass any sort of remote transcoding for Credit Detection, just calling Plex's local transcoder directly.

Regarding the error message, yes, I see that too in the logs, but given that in the forum there are tons of messages about that error and a reply from a Plex developer addressing it, I didn't pay much attention, especially since credit detection started working after the 1.4.5 fix.

One thing that is quite problematic with the Credits Detection stuff, is that it seems Plex is collecting stdout but not forwarding it to the logs, which makes it very difficult to debug, since there' absolutely nothing in the logs or console when Plex Media Scanner calls the transcoder.

Haven't a lot of time to investigate since my original post, but FYI, still thinking there is still something we can fix in transcoder.js.

If I just replace the modified Plex Transcoder with the original one, credit detection is perfectly working (and of course distributed transcoding did not ^^)

Will try to investigate further. And yes, not having any log from Plex Media Scanner is a pain !

PS : I'm on the Dockermod Version, in a LXC unprivileged CT, on Proxmox 8.0
