Hello, I have a transcode problem. Each time I use Plex via the web portal (locally or on the internet) on one of my computers, the video always transcode (it’s lagging and it takes around 90% of the NAS cpu).

There is no “MDE:” in the line codes.

Did you re-enable the video transcoding in the server settings?

Nope, the only thing I changed is the following checkbox: “Enable Plex Media Server debug logging ”
