Under transcoder options when I set “Use hardware acceleration when available” can I transcode more than 2 clients. I know 1050 Ti can only handle 2 transcodes. Also, can I set “Prefer higher speed encoding”
Should I add more RAM memory to do “memory transcode” instead use my SSD to do the job?
Under Remote Access options, I set my “internet upload speed” to 13 mbits and “Limit remote stream bitrate” to 3 mbits doing this the server will “lock” the resolution to 3 mbits to all concurrent streams i may have?
Under Quality options should I set " Automatically adjust quality" enable or disable? If enable? Should I turn on this option on the clients too?
you can transcode as many as your system can handle. the nvidia limit is for encoding (decoding can use unlimited gpu). if/when the gpu runs out, plex will use cpu. the ‘higher speed’ only applies to cpu transcoding.
transcode to ram folder/drive will help avoid making writes to ssd drives, minimum recommended ram would be 32g (16 to ram drive). Better would be 64g+ ram (32 ram drive).
Ram drives will NOT make transcoding faster or allow you to transcode more clients.
13 is the total bandwidth plex can use, plex will downshift new connections to lower quality when it starts reaching your 13m cap. Limit remote bitrate affects the maximum each client can use (so they can’t use your entire 13m).
most times you can leave it automatic so plex can adjust dynamically as needed. Depending on the stability of your or your client internet connection, this may cause quality to go up/down visibly.
