/dev/driis usually the graphics card. You can pass your docker host's graphics card to the Plex docker container for hardware transcoding. Uncomment these lines (remove the # in front) to enable graphics cards.
Transcoding can be done in advance (offline transcoding) or as/when the file is being accessed (known as on-the-fly transcoding) and that later one requires your NAS/Media Server to have sufficient hardware to change the file quickly enough to keep up with organic natural...
Integrated Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4200 or better/AMD A10-7800 APU Discrete Graphics: GeForce GTX 650 or better/AMD Radeon HD 700 Series or better RAM: 8GB 3. The HEVC transcoding is slow.If your HEVC video does not meet the properties shared in Part 1, Plex will automatically transcod...
– including a Plex plugin, so you can actually run a Plex server through Kodi's interface. But at its most basic, Kodi is best on a single device; out of the box it doesn't use a client-server setup, so the device you're playing on will have to do all its own transcoding. ...
you may want to access the media in lower quality. This is where transcoding, or real-time encoding, comes in handy. Keep in mind that transcoding is one of the most demanding tasks for a NAS. To utilize the full resources of the NAS CPU, including its embedded graphics, you may need...
The storage devices powered by an Intel Celeron J1800 dual core processor boast video transcoding capability that’s 18 times faster than earlier Atom based solutions, feature an HDMI port, and support virtualization to allow you to run two operating systems such as Linux and Windows 8. QNAP ...
The AMD FX8320 CPU is a great CPU to be used in a Plex media server. When streaming media content to none desktop devices such as mobiles and tablets Plex uses a process called transcoding to encode the media file into a format suitable for the client device. With the FX8320 we wil...
If your Docker host has access to a supported CPU with the Intel Quick Sync feature set and you are a current Plex Pass subscriber, you can enable hardware transcoding within your Plex Docker container. A list of current and previous Intel CPU's supporting Quick Sync is available on the Int...
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with HW-accelerated video decoding on the most recent version of Ubuntu. It does decode video in hardware (verified with intel_gpu_top), however the video playback is slower than real-time. Audio on the ...
