My Plex player is constantly buffering when transcoding (hw) and the stream never starts. What’s wrong with my configuration? I’m trying to transcode a 1080p HEVC 10-bit file to 1080p 8Mbps without any subtitle, but choosing other settings will result in the same thing.

I sure hope I didn’t pay for Plex Pass for nothing. The HW transcoding was the main reason for me.

Please verify DEBUG logging ON, VERBOSE logging OFF.

Now recreate the problem.  
wait 30 seconds

What I find in your logs: (Please turn VERBOSE off again? [DEBUG logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) is optimal and the default. VERBOSE actually loses information after 2 minutes of elapsed time).

1. J4105 CPU
2. 33 Mbps HEVC
3. 10 bit color input → 8 bit color output (transcoding forced)
4. 8 channel audio input → 6 channel (5.1)
5. 10 bit color hardware support verified
6. Subtitle burning is active.

```

The J4105 CPU will never have enough CPU power to handle burning of subtitles in real time at this bitrate.

Video is being properly done in hardware  
Audio conversion is being properly done in software.  
Subtitles must be burned in software — this is where it falls short (No Intel - Vaapi support for subtitles in hardware yet). 2942 Passmarks. It’s a NAS processor. You need an i5/i7 class machine (passmark scale) to keep up with this.

Solutions here, which we all must cope with:

1. Make certain to not use DVDRIP, VOBSUB, or PGS subtitles
2. Use SRT, ASS, or SSA (text based) subtitles when available.
3. Allow the player to overlay them (never “Always Burn”).
4. Any subtitles which are permanently desired should be permanently burned into the video prior to giving to Plex to serve up.

How exactly do I do that? The only options that I can see for subtitles burning are Automatic, Only Image Formats and Always. It was set to Automatic by default. I’ve changed it to Only Image Formats, but I still get the same thing, even when choosing an audio track that doesn’t need transcoding. It doesn’t help either if, when playing back the video, I choose No Subtitles or and external SRT subtitle.

To turn off VERBOSE logging is the inverse of how you turned it on.  
I cannot work with VERBOSE logging.

Settings - Server - General - Show Advanced.

1. DEBUG logging **Checked**
2. VERBOSE logging **Unchecked**
3. SAVE changes.

Regarding unwanted subtitles in streams, I remove them with mkvtoolnix-gui / mkvmerge package. It remultiplexes the stream (does not re-encode the stream)

Those are the exact settings that are currently configured. And it was the same situation before I grabbed the logs too.

Now, to understand your workaround, you’re basically saying that I need to re-mux the movie including just the video & audio track(s), but without any subtitle track. I don’t understand why I have to do that since I am not using those subtitles at all. I am always using external SRT subtitles.

So, in this case, how can I disable the embedded subtitle burning when doing the transcode? If it cannot be done it’s a major flaw of the system and needs to be corrected ASAP. There was no mention anywhere of this limitation when you buy the Plex Pass. False advertising to say the least…

There is another aspect of this discussion.

Should PMS disqualify / disable subtitles on any CPU which doesn’t have the computational performance to burn subtitles?

Should Plex deny installation on some of these CPUs?

At present, Plex imposes no limitations. They do presume the user understands the equipment in his possession and, with a bit of additional information, understands the limitations imposed on Plex Media Server due to Intel / vaapi limitations.

It’s very simple. Just leave the option to disable subtitle burning to the customer.  
You don’t need to impose anything, because obviously you don’t know on what machine the PMS will be installed on.

Right now it seems like this is not available and I don’t understand why…

I am here to support what the Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams have decided to do.

I did request DEBUG, not VERBOSE, logs.

May I have them please or do you wish to pursue another avenue of resolution?

1. Decided to play
2. PMS checks to see if HW transcoding is available and to what levels. This succeeds. HEVC HDR (10 bit).
3. Sees the video bandwidth (39222K) exceeds the desired (as set by the player) of 4 Mbps.
4. Sees the video size exceeds the player width and adjusts
5. Sees the audio needs to be reduced and adjusts (CPU tasking for this)
6. Sees the ASS subtitles in the file and needs to convert them for the player to SRT format.  
`'-map' '0:2' '-metadata:s:1' 'language=eng' '-codec:1' 'copy' '-copypriorss:1' '0' '-map' '1:s:0' '-metadata:s:2' 'language=rum' '-codec:2' 'ass' '-map' '0:t?' `  
and  
`/plex-transcode-ld1p81e6sdhdekbt8lhl9l10-d8b8c47d-3830-48eb-b971-200f5f7b1b72/temp-0.srt'`

The tasks PMS has to perform:

1. Video conversion and bitrate reduction: Hardware will do this
2. Subtitle conversion from ASS -\> SRT (which the player wants): CPU will do this
3. Audio conversion: CPU will do this.

With your logs I can see the root problem which is the conversion of the formats. This isn’t an easy task. It’s inefficient as heck due to how the formats are written.

Your choices are:

1. Curate the media before you give it to Plex.
2. Get something better than the J4105 . You are getting the performance you paid for and, unfortunately, it’s coming up short because the J4105 is still a Celeron CPU. Yes, it has the high powered video processor but the CPU core is still Celeron.

While not a good answer for you either, None of the QNAP “HS” series devices have been added to the NAS compatibility list.

Yes, I’ve checked the list and noticed that my NAS model (HS-453DX) is not listed. It’s probably because it wasn’t tested. There is however an ASUS AS-5304T with the same processor onboard and that model looks quite good in terms of HW transcoding. Mine also comes with 8GB DDR4 RAM, so there should be no problem on that side either.

The issue is clearly the subtitles, just like you’ve mentioned above, but again, the user should have the option in the client to **disable subtitle burning** , especially when he is not using the ASS embedded subtitles. It makes absolutely no sense to have those subtitles being forced into the stream if they are not used!

P.S.: Curating the media before feeding it to Plex kind of defeats the whole purpose of Plex. If you need to transcode, re-mux, burn subtitles, etc. you might as well use DLNA, which is more limited in terms of features, but can work very well if you have the right media files for the client device. My expectation was to be able to play everything, no matter the file format & client device, relying on Plex to transcode and re-mux as needed (and using HW acceleration as it’s one of most marketed feature of both the NAS & Plex with Plex Pass). The truth is however very disappointing…
