This version fixes the ELF alignment issues experienced on some QNAP platforms (as well as in some other places). We had to do some changes in how we process our files before packaging, so this touched on all but the Windows builds. Please try them and let us know. A real beta is not too far out, hopefully! Iāll also update the first post with the new links.
@tamas, thatās awesome! Thanks so much! Does this build in the previously rolled out changes in the 1.14 betas from the standard release channel?
Edit: after playing around with this new build a bit, and seeing the bandwidth data in the dashboard, it seems like it does roll in the previous changesā¦
My synology DS 118 refuses to transcode. Only when i downgrade to 2 mbps 720p, it helps a little bit but the stuttering will be there for a couple of times. Subs are an issue also. When i choose no subs the transcode is better. I used all the possibillties ( closed in, srt, embedded etc) but the problem stays.
Someone has the same problem?
Another DS 118 user here. Considering information posted here earlier (Nov 18 by megadime
and ChuckPA) I am not really surprised transcoding experience is not great. If Plex canāt use proprietary HW and therefore all the transcoding work has to be done in SW(!) itās miraculous that video transcoding kinda works albeit very limited.
Synology Video app in contrary can use the proprietary HW for transcoding jobs. Wish Plex could use that as well or at least Synology could improve their Video app to make it as usable and feature rich as Plex isā¦
What actually bothers me is that Plex library indexing (with metadata scrapping) can put DS 118 into temporary unresponsive state. Means smb connections failing/dropping and operations lagging overall. Recent experience from last two published arm8 builds.
Hi There,
Iāve installed this latest build and for the love of god, as it stands after the issue Iāve been getting on Ubuntu with recording shows on Live TV, and it failing to allow other users to tune to a TV channel after so many recordings because either the Transcoder is stuck, or it just failed to shut the devices down properly, everything is actually working!!!
Hereās to running more tests with my remote users and more recordings with HW Transcoding on!!
My PC is a i5-3330 with 8Gb RAM close to 15Tb HDD, Nvidia GTX-750ti and 3 Hauppage WinTV DuoHD USB Tuners.
@ChuckPa a big thank you for getting the repacking done for Linux and NASās =) Itās running beautifully on my 718+
Edit: Since my last posted this I have realized that hardware transcoding no longer works for me. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PMS, but no luck. Any suggestions @ChuckPa? and, I just tried again. This time, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled.
May I have the DEBUG logs for Ubuntu hardware transcoding not working?
Also, please create a separate thread and link it back to this one.
We will diagnose and resolve in the new thread.
@comio Is working here, but only allowing 2 devices to transcode even though Iāve got it at to 10 transcodes maximum. @ChuckPa I know this is a long long shot, but will Linux PMS ever have full hardware transcoding in the near future? I know ffmpeg has itā¦
Other than only allowing 2 devices to transcode, my Live TV issues during and after multiple DVR recordings has gone, and it finally shuts my WinTV DuoHD Tuners down correctly unless it was the transcoderĀæ
@mw0dcm If you are using retail Nvidia Graphics card (think 10x0, etc.) for your HW transcoding, Nvidia has put a firmware limit for HW transcoding to 2 streams (regardless of whether the card could handle more or not). You have to use one of their āEnterpriseā based GPUās (Quadro P2000, etc.) to get the limit removed. So while you may tell Plex to do up to 10 HW transcoding streams, Nvidia is going to over-ride that at a limit of 2 for their retail boards.
