I'm currently have a media server running Plex for my totally legit movie and TV series collection. I have paid for a yearly subscription to get HW transcoding, but I'm still struggling a bit with buffering and not being able to view some files on my TV. Currently i have no descrete...
Looking to buy a gpu for my upcoming server which will have Plex on it. I'm looking for power efficiency while idle and optimal performance when transcoding. The A770 16gb looks attractive but wanted to check here first. *my friend has an A380 that I cou
For large files, like high bitrate HD movies, the process is slow going, even on good hardware. The transcoding of just this one film took approximately 20 minutes on our multi-core server. So once you’ve ironed out what kind of settings you need for your optimization needs, this is a...
Plex VM is an Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. Just grabbed an NV Quadro P400 and wanted to passthrough to do the transcoding. Followed Craft Computer's guide link, but the very last step is not working for me. This can be found here 21:50, adding cpu: host,hidden=1 to the vm.conf. I added...
Ugh. This would have been PERFECT on server motherboards for 2U Plex transcoding or VDI workflows. LEAVE A REPLY Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Sign me up for the STH newsletter! This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your ...
As you can see with proper testing it was clear the GPU isn’t being used for transcoding (unless the CPU magically is doing something else, but looking at Htop, its clearly Plex transcoding). This was confirmed whendoing more researchonthe issue. ...
[SOLVED]Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) passthrough to Ubuntu VM for Plex Transcoding Hi, I have the following iGPU: lspci -s 00:02.0 -vvvv 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] (prog...
Looks like GP100 has 3 NVENCs but for some reason they are capped at 4K x 4K frames?! Seems silly to use a double-precision-optimized datacenter card for Plex transcoding unless you have some other reason to need dp performance though.C...
In the Plex-server settings you can select to use your GPU under "Transcoder -> Hardware transcoding device".However, my GPU does no show? I can't select it???I have a compatible GPU (Nvidia Quadro P4000) The GPU is set to 'QTS Service' in the QNAP Hardware settings....
So far, Plex transcoding is working well with the P2200. Even VC-1 encoded videos (which are single-threaded in CPU) work well with very little CPU impact when used with the P2200. EDIT: I think this card works well for what it's targeted for (at least for my use as a server G...
