My issue is Plex running on the Ubuntu 22.04 VM does not use Hardware Transcoding and CPU usage is still at 100% when transcoding. I am not sure how to proceed from here as it does look like the iGPU is passed
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 job best left run in the off hours. ...
In the Plex dashboard it should showhwtranscoding. Even with hardware transcoding, you may see a Plex LXC CPU spike when you start playing media. I was testing with a 2 vCPU LXC container and for a few minutes when I started a movie the CPU hovered around 60%. Then it leveled off be...
While Plex would be an alternative, it requires 94-97% CPU usage for transcoding, rather than using the Evansport CE hardware in the DS214play. It's too bad. If it did, at least the device would work extremely well. Right now, no DTS in the DS214play - we know that. But at lea...
barely cracks 20% of CPU usage. However, just to see what would happen, I forced Plex to transcode something to 20Mbps 1080p, which did spike CPU usage to the high 90s, but had no effect on playback. As you can see here, once I turned off transcoding, CPU usage dropped off a ...
The Synology DS923+ NAS was accessed over a 1GbE network, however in order to test how the NAS would cope with transcoding/encoding, I would force the Plex Player client to transcode the file manually The DS923+ NAS was used in the default CPU+Memory state that the base model arrives ...
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...
Does anyone know why Plex would require a faster CPU? My DS214+ does not have hardware transcoding. Would that help Plex? Thanks, Antoine. Responses (1-8) Sorted by Rusty@rusty12815499 Aug 16, 2017 There is a HW accelerated version of plex in Plex Pass version (paid) but not sure it...
Some users have reported issues with the server crashing or becoming unresponsive during peak usage periods Limited support for hardware acceleration, which can affect performance when transcoding certain video formats Some advanced features require technical expertise to set up and configure ...
long-term arrangement. Gaming PCs, especially with today's high-end hardware, can consume over 100W at idle. This can be even more if you have multiple radiators, RGB fans, or fancy stuff like a case with a display. My personal rig draws around 100W at idle from the CPU + GPU alone...
