I’ve got plenty of 4k HDR HEVC remuxes, I know you shouldn’t transcode 4k hdr as it washes out ecc., but I would like to do that sometime. The thing is: I added a p2000 to my i5 4440, and it’s not working, it buffers every 30 second. The cpu usage is 40% but the GPU doens’t seem to like that video f…

I see the same result. I’ve just set the throttle buffer to 600. If the content is without too much action in the beginning it seems to have a big enough buffer to power through any action parts later. Other than that I have no solution. I’ve put adding 4K content on hold for now. I’m happy with my …

Lots of details here: [image] [INFO] Plex, 4k, transcoding, and you - aka the rules of 4k Tips, Tricks & How-Tos NOTE: for 2022 – Plex has come a long way since this FAQ was originally written, HW transcoding has become more available and more stable, and tone mapping was …

you may also need to disable any integrated intel gpu otherwise you probably need a monitor plugged into the p2k, or a fake monitor plug [image] manuwood: Someone said that you CANNOT transcode a 4k HEVC with that video card since it’s a single NVENC and not powerful enough, and even software …

While the P2000 is unrestricted in the number of concurrent sessions it can do, it will only use one instance of nvdec for each job. So it might choke on a 4K job, while at the same time run several 1080p jobs at the same time without issues. Or can the P2000 just add nvdec sessions to one decoding…

there are many others with working p2k. I think you don’t quite understand how it works. it is not the ENcoding (x264) that is hard. it is the DEcoding (x265) that is hard. so the limited ENcoder while certainly annoying, is not a show stopper. we have been fine with cpu’s have been doing 1080/…

I just posted about this a few minutes ago…Im having the same issue with my P2000. It works perfectly in Emby though!! And I can do h.264 content fine in Plex…

maybe something related to this [image] 1.15.0.647 - windows - no hardware decode nvidia NAS & Devices Server Version#: 1.15.0.647 Player Version#: Previously working on the last public release 1.14, NVDECode is not working for hardware acceleration. See also was not…

Nope, did not fix it. I was very excited seeing those patch notes but no luck :frowning: tested it throughly with that new update.

https://postimg.cc/jWbwGwbk Sorry for the picture, as you can see cpu is on 35/40% while gpu is 8%, what’s wrong with that? it buffer but i can’t see what is the bottleneck that causes this.
