Hi All,
My Plex server is an OpenMediaVault 3.x (Debian) with PlexMediaServer installed manually (not via plugins) to the latest PlexPass version.
The CPU is a Kaby Lake I5 and I have 16Gbs of RAM.
This was not happening a month ago, but, now, whenever I transcode any movie (I don’t have any 4k content, only 1080p and some 720p) my CPU goes to 95-100% and stays there. The CPU temperature jumps from the (almost)idle 30(ish) degrees to 60 degrees. And the load goes well above 4 (sometimes 8 or 9)
On top of that, regardless of what I choose to transcode for, I’m only receiving 720p. And I know my internet connection on both ends is good enough for 1080p (at least 8Mpbs)
Here are my player settings:
And my transcoder settings:
And my Internet settings:
I don’t know what to look at next. Is it something on my end? Or is this something that the plex server is doing?
I’m afraid that if I let more people stream from my plex, the system will be too stressed…
Thank you All!
