• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Cannot play movies that require audio transcoding for my TV.

root@openmediavault:~# docker exec -it plex ls -la "/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/EasyAudioEncoder-0dd4de86f2b9bb8b9b397a90-linux-x86_64/EasyAudioEncoder/"
total 2260
drwxrwsrwx 2 root users    4096 Feb 18 01:19 .
drwxrwsrwx 3 root users    4096 Feb 18 01:19 ..

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root users 2297984 Feb 18 01:19 EasyAudioEncoder

Once I set the execution bit, I was able to watch my movie:

docker exec -it plex chmod +x "/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/EasyAudioEncoder-0dd4de86f2b9bb8b9b397a90-linux-x86_64/EasyAudioEncoder/EasyAudioEncoder"
