Invalid folder Transcode contained within /mnt

Featured Replies

I receive the following error "Invalid folder Transcode contained within /mnt".  If I reboot the server it will clear for a while, then reappear as an error in the "Fix Common Problems" Plugin.

This almost certainly means you have a docker container with a disk mapping to this location.

How do I fix this?

  • Community Expert

Find the container and fix the mapping :) From the name it is likely to be Plex or something similar.

Thanks, I'll look into it

I can see that Host Path 2 (Container Path: /transcode) points to /mnt . Where is it supposed to point?

Based on this tuorial I set it to point to /tmp. We'll see if that works

It is supposed to point to wherever you want file transcodes to take place.  Common options are /tmp (RAM), /{path to a folder on the cache SSD or unassigned device SSD), /{path to a transcode folder in the Plex appdata folder), etc.

 

/mnt is definitely not where you want it to point.

So, I edited to /tmp.  stopped the application, rebooted the array, and now plex has a server error.615001802_Plexedit2.thumb.png.8e8e129e268f7c4a41da76d25290685b.png

Now, how do I fix this?

  • Author

I removed the docker and reinstalled it. Same error

  • Author

Solved. Removed the dev/dri path and it works now

You would be better of giving a unique folder under /tmp (e.g. /tmp/transcode) so that there is no risk of files under /tmp belonging to other applications being inadvertently deleted leading to unexpected errors.

Thanks, I will look into that tonight.  Would that be a folder I have to create?

It will be automatically created when the container with that mapping specified is started.

Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
