Start here - follow the instructions, but do find your own suitable bit rate - the one for my eyeballs/displays may not work for yours - unless you’ve created a few different 240 SECOND PREVIEWS and placed them in an Other Videos Library and viewed them on everything in your Plexiverse - so you can see what happens and see what they look like (duh):
Perhaps, but this will let you look at what does work - so you can repeat it, or something similar:
I have an AMD Radeon R9 380 Graphics Adaptor that helps out greatly when a transcode is necessary - but if a transcode is ever necessary - it won’t be for long. I create ALL the material - or ensure ANY material that is added WILL Direct Play on EVERYTHING that will encounter it. Few have that level of Transcoder Hate, but I do.
My Rig is an AMD FX-8350 - capable of transcoding a few - unnoticed - with the help of the AMD R9 380 - but the issue is when I’m gaming those components are already fully involved and were they to ‘help’ out - it’s gonna suck hard for everybody and if it sucks hard for me (screw ‘everybody’ - they got no dog in this fight) - that’s a huge problem. <—so we don’t allow that foolishness… period.
