Ive been trying the support forum, reddit, google… well almost everything i could think of. But i just cant find anyone that can (or will) answer my question… or only found really outdated posts/pages. So i guess ill just try one more time here. (Dont know why its so hard for the plex team to have…

Your CPU has an extremely low Passmark score. I’ve seen that higher the passmark score (above 15K), the smoother the experience. I have an i7-7700k CPU with a 12K passmark score, same setup as you (roku wired), and no issues. You should pop in an NVIDIA Quadro card so you can offload ALL transcodin…

Just for the sake of whoever comes across this thread next (I went through every possible thread i could find regarding an AMD Plex setup and the first shred of hope was here from wiidesire before i really went in on this build), here’s a screen of my All AMD Plex Hardware Transcoder in action: [A…

I’m not sure I’d ever describe reencoding your entire library as a good solution for effective streaming, given it requires permanently keeping a lower-quality copy of every piece of media in your library, the additional storage capacity for it, and potentially months of continuous reencoding (depen…

And nor would I, but that’s if you keep the original files, i mean if this scenario wasn’t obviously inferred my apologies, for the majority of a libraries contents whats the point in keeping an old inefficient encoding if plex is only going to have to convert it every time its viewed anyway, and if…

EDIT: I realized I should probably have been clearer, 40TB (for another week or two, anyway) is just my Anime library, the part I mostly care about - I rip TV show/movie BDs mostly for family/friends, with the exception of things like Game of Thrones, The Expanse, and the like, and slightly older …

I have an HTPC with a Pentium g4400 and an AMD RX580 gpu that i would like to use to stream and trasncode using Plex. I can eventually switch to a 1070ti i’ve laying around. What do you think should i use? it’s a domestic installation, based on windows, so no more than 2 streams per time (mostly 1) …

So I’m fairly new to this, but I’ve got a AMD Ryzen 7 3800x with a RTX 2080 Super. Am I able to use the 2080 Super for HW encoding? Will that even be necessary with the 3800x? I’ll be streaming to some friends and family, and myself when I’m not home. I’m planning to stream at highest quality possib…

If you pay for a Plex Pass, yes you will be able to use the 2080 Super The 3800x should be capable of 5-6 1080p transcodes I would imagine though, I would get a videocard if I intended to do more then 3, that’s just my personal preference Quality is going to depend heavily on your upload speed and …

I see, thanks for the info. My bandwidth is 1 Gbps down and about 40 Mbps up.

so, when will AMD Transcoding be available in linux? Since this can and has been done (see handbrake for example) i really want this for my small A300 Ryzen 3400G Box (Proxmox Host).
