Perhaps try changing your transcoding settings to "Make my CPU hurt".may make a difference? It is a real pain how problematic the whole system is to be honest, it is not exactly plug and play. I am essentially doubling the collection, as I intend to keep the 4k versions for my personal viewing at home on a 4k TV, but for those watching on older laptops and mobile phones etc, the issue is they can't watcch the 4k version (the machines won't play them) so I was transcoding to them through the i7, and hw encoding doesn't work on 4k media files on that old of a CPU - also on FreeNAS there is no GPU passthrough so you can't transcode with GPU support. Thing is, I am not using the 3900x for the Plex Server, I am temporarily hosting the Server (which is on FreeNAS on an i7 4790k) on the 3900x machine just to do the opitmisation - because I thought it could get the job done faster.Īs mentioned in my original tweet, yeah I have handbrake, I know I can use a 3rd party tool, but as mentioned, i like the fact that plex does it for plex, separates out the SRT/Subtitle files, and then orders it in the collection so it knows which version to use. I guess, it's because it's a "one-fits-all"-decision.īut if you're using a 3900X for your Plex Server, the "transcoding overhead" shouldn't be an issue either, does it? In the settings for transcoding you can at least change the level of background encoding to "ultra". Plex doesn't make use of multi-core CPUs, it doesn't scale. Yeah, I agree with It is limited by Plex.
