You are facing one such issue where your favorite AVI file is not getting recognized on Plex. Plex media server supports a wide range of formats, and if your device supports, then Plex will directly stream it. However, users still face issues while trying to add AVI files to Plex Media Server.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes when you are playing AVI video with Plex, you get an error message. This error message could be caused because the inner codec stops the video from playing correctly. Let\u2019s see some reasons as to why errors which occur opening AVI file on Plex:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hardware or software conflicts<\/li>\n<li>Bad sectors on the hard drive<\/li>\n<li>Hard drive failure, system crash, and so on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So now the next step is to resolve the issue. How to fix this issue? We tell you some of the possible ways to fix the issue and make AVI file recognizable on Plex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fix 1: <\/strong>The first step is to make sure that the AVI file is playback on the computer and is intact. You can test this on VLC or QuickTime. Suppose the AVI file is free from any issue and clean, then you can update the Plex media server which could fix the issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fix 2: <\/strong>Suppose fix 1 doesn\u2019t work, and the issue still remains, then try this method. You can try to transcode AVI file into H.264 MP4 to resolve the problem. Plex media server will actually convert the uploaded files by default, however, sometimes it fails to do so. So to fix this issue, you can make use of video converter tool to convert AVI video file to a format compatible with Plex. This can be done without loss of video quality.<\/p>\n<p>At times, if you don\u2019t use a reliable video converter, then there are chances of the AVI file getting corrupted. This is why you should always check for the authenticity of the software before using it. Unfortunately, if you have used any such tool and your AVI file gets corrupted, then there is nothing to worry about. With the help of AVI Repair software, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.remorepair.com\/windows\/how-to-fix-a-corrupt-avi-file.html\"><strong>fix corrupt AVI file<\/strong><\/a> with ease.
