Intel nuc 12 struggling with transcoding one 4k stream

@ChuckPa So I have removed the snap version and installed the deb packaged fixed permissions and all for the plex user. Also tried with and without pgs burning and naturally there was a difference! With pgs burning I get a 0.6-0.8 speed and buffering; without pgs I get a speed between 1.6 - 3.4. Isn´t this still slow for the hardware I have “alder lake i5” (NUC12WSKI50Z) ?

I also tried other movies with similar results (matrix has a bitrate of 64Mbps). Another question is the HW transcoding on demand? I noticed that if I have pgs enable then is pushing HW acceleration but if I am not using pgs is not using HW. (see example of the matrix)
