"(hw)" will not be shown if Quick Sync isn't being used in transcoding.ġ. I have Quick Sync enabled hence the "(hw)" which stands for, you guessed it, Hardware. If you head back to the Now Playing section in Plex you will see that the stream is now being Transcoded. Click on Settings > Quality > Show All > Choose a Quality that isn't the Default one To initiate some transcoding, go to where your media is playing. It just means is that your Plex Media Server is able to perform the transcode faster than is necessary. Log into Plex and go to Settings > Status > Now PlayingĪs you can see this file is being direct played, so there's no transcoding happening.
You're able to see how media is being served by playing a first something on a device. This can dramatically reduce the CPU overhead required for transcoding and Plex can leverage this using their Hardware Acceleration feature. Fortunately Intel CPUs have a little thing called Quick Sync which is their native hardware encoding and decoding core. The issue is that depending on which format your transcoding from and to, this can absolutely pin all your CPU cores at 100% which means you're gonna have a bad time.
Transcoding throttled plex 1080p#
This is because a 240p file will require considerably less bandwith compared to a 1080p file. Playing the file in 1080p is taking up too much bandwith so to get a better experience you can watch your media in glorious 240p without stuttering / buffering on your little mobile device by getting Plex to transcode the file first. You're away from home and you have a crappy internet connection. You could either manually convert each file or get Plex to transcode the file on the fly into another format to be played. This should be okay in most cases, but you may be accessing Plex remotely or on a device that is having difficulty with the source media. This is great in most cases as there will be very little if any overhead on your CPU. If all of the above is met, Plex will Direct Play or send the media directly to the client without being changed. Media is stored in a compatible file container Plex will check against the device trying to play the media: When streaming media from Plex, a few things are happening. Special thanks to Hoopster whose post(s) I took this from. Granted this has been covered in a few other posts but I just wanted to have it with a little bit of layout and structure.
Transcoding throttled plex code#
I've fixed the code blocks below and all should be Plexing perfectly now This was causing people to get errors when typing commands verbatim.
Transcoding throttled plex update#
***Update*** : Apologies, it seems like there was an update to the Unraid forums which removed the carriage returns in my code blocks. I think I can workaround this with scripts and a dummy vm to "protect" the nvidia card from i915 but that seems ridiculous.Īnyone else seeing this behavior or is it just me? I've only tried nvidia on seabios vms so maybe that is a component.
Transcoding throttled plex driver#
I assumed all the displays were reignited or something when the driver loaded and this was tainting the nvidia card somehow, but if its bound to vfio I don't see how it should be able to get at it at all. i915 shouldn't be able to taint the nvidia card in my mine, since its not a compatible driver. The modprobed but it still broke nvidia passthrough! I found if I pass the nvidia through (so its in use) and then modprobe, things are OK.īased on that I added nvidia to vfio pci ids in syslinux.cfg, and confirmed vfio was in use at boot. In my case the igpu is primary, nvidia is secondary. If I don't modprobe after boot it works fine. I've found that once I modprobe the i915 my nvidia card just gives a black screen when passed through.
So this isn't really about plex, but people doing quick sync on unraid have a similar use case to me.
