Stability Testing
As of 9 October 2026, test/stability-native-e2e-20261009 is a prerelease test
branch. Production promotion remains blocked. Native testing is in progress;
the full GitHub matrix and continuous 5h50 soak have not completed for the final
candidate. Passing results from intermediate images are not release evidence
for a different image digest.
The candidate must run on genuine native hardware for all eight combinations: LinuxServer and PlexInc, amd64 and arm64, PostgreSQL 15 and 18. Emulation does not count as native acceptance. Each lane requires 100 startup/restart cycles and a separate 5-hour-50-minute soak of concurrent library, media and metadata work. Both jobs reuse the exact candidate digest. Missing or failed lanes prevent promotion; the workflow currently publishes candidate tags only.
The isolated container runner scans these checksum-pinned fixtures:
- Big Buck Bunny (2008): 640x360 H.264 with audio, licensed CC BY 3.0. Attribution: (c) copyright 2008, Blender Foundation / www.bigbuckbunny.org.
- The Beverly Hillbillies: S01E01, The Clampetts Strike Oil, and S01E02, Getting Settled. The Internet Archive uploaders mark these copies Public Domain; this is the source designation, not a rights claim for the entire series.
Candidate smoke checks movie and show/season/episode identities, PostgreSQL hierarchy, server file delivery, byte-range seeking, delivery hashes, and full video/audio decoding with Plex's bundled decoder. The soak decodes 20-second HTTP samples during setup, recovery and each iteration. Full decode and sample results are recorded separately. Media binaries are cached outside the repository and are not bundled into evidence artifacts.
These checks cover native file delivery and decoding. Browser player behavior and server-side transcoding remain unverified.

Release approval requires a frozen candidate, passing native evidence, and all blocking release gates resolved. A successful download or one clean startup is insufficient to approve a production release.
