Hi
So I’ve done some googling but really can’t find the answer I want and really wanted to refrain from asking a similar question, but as of yet, hopeless.
I am running most recent Plex pass Docker Container and am wondering, on a system that has 384 GB RAM and 64 CPU’s, does Plex use as many as it needs automatically or what are its default settings?
Maybe this can add some depth to what started this initially;
I can get more specific details in a bit but for right now I believe I have 12 4 TB drives in RAID 5 configuration. The network interface card on the server is a 10 Gb card which connects to a 10 Gb Cisco switch which runs on a really nice CAT 8 ethernet to my one gig TV, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Plex servers on each device does the same thing to any movie that is 4K.
The server is an HP pro DL 380 generation 10 with what I believe is a really good built-in raid card designed for the service itself.
I am all for accepting that raid five might not be the right raid for fast throughput and and can easily change to whatever raid it may be. I’m open to getting rid of the hardware raid and going software through OMV. These are all things that I downloaded so I really could care less about integrity and or back up. This is just for my movies that I downloaded. But before I change any raid which I’m open to I was wondering if maybe there’s something on the server itself more specifically Plex settings that I could change? Just seems that even if the raid was not the fastest and at 1BG end device, why am I buffering? Also Plex, latest, is in docker format and NO transcoding is happening, all direct play.
Does Plex even stream HDR10 4K / 7.1 Dolby Atmos?
