I use the plexinc/pms-docker Repository

 

The Plex Media Server works but I have a lot of these errors in the System Log.

Is the 'Generated schedule for forced move' ok?

 

Should there be something before the '/usr/local/sbin/mover force 2>/dev/null'

In the settings for mover tuning, you didn't enter in a Cron expression when you enabled force mover

Thank you for you reply.

 

Is it the 'Cron Schedule to force move of all files' I shall enter the Cron expression?

 

What shall I enter there?

I found the answer here :-)

I have exactly the same problem following the update of the plugin recently, in 2023.
