One 720p transcode: 1,500 PassMark score.

As Plex’s support page notes, a single transcoded stream requires a CPU with the following minimum scores from benchmark program PassMark (PassMark scores measure CPU performance and higher scores are better): Transcoding will rarely be a problem when you’re accessing Plex at home.īut the biggest challenge with transcoding is the CPU horsepower it’ll require from your Plex server.

For instance, Plex will have to transcode a video if you’re remotely playing a 4K video on a 720p smartphone. Considering the end game here is to get them playing on several 45-50" smart TVs I don't want to go downscaling them to 480p or anything like that.Īny other settings I should try? Should I try different file encodings on the videos? Should I find out if Raspberry Pis mix well with Two Roads? Because that's next on the list.In the most layman of layman’s terms, transcoding refers to when Plex has to convert a video to play on a new streaming device. I tried setting Plex both with the "Disable video stream encoding" setting checked and unchecked, and have Transcoder quality set to "Prefer higher speed encoding". The Pi is running Raspbian Lite, and it looks like nothing of any considerable load is running on the Pi. The Blurays are all ripped to h.265 in mkv containers. Loaded it up with a bunch of Bluray rips and just tried playing one through a web browser on my laptop, got hit with a "Not enough CPU for conversion of this item." error.

Finally got it up and running as a Plex server. So I have a Raspberry Pi 4 - the 4GB variant, got it in September if they made any newer revisions since then. The only friends I made along the way will get me committed if I talk to them in public, so there goes the only benefit to this.enlightening experience. Between setting up Plex, the external drive, Samba, and my router, I've lost close to two weeks worth of evenings trying to get to this point.
