It would be great if the Transcoder Settings had configuration to allow for the “Optimize” queue to support more than one processing job at a time. Currently I run Plex in a distributed manner in which actual transcoding jobs get offloaded to other servers in my network, so technically I could be o…

Vote for this feature here: [image] Distributed Transcoding/Scaling Feature Suggestions I realize this is a longshot but right now my plex server is a quad socket system and it's barely keeping up with user load, looking at 8 socket systems and they are just astronomicall…

Thanks @darcilicious ! Yeah, I did see that thread, and have voted for it too. I did end up building my own distributed transcoder of sorts a while ago, which works great for real-time transcoding, but doesn’t get fully used for queued optimizations, which is why I opened this feature suggestion. I…

I think this post is in double with Distributed Transcoding/Scaling

I don’t think this is the same feature request. What is requested is to be able to tell plex that it is allowed to optimize 2 or 3 movies at the same time, because now it is fixed to one movie at the time. I personally run a 128 core system right now. I upgraded storage recently a bit and wanted t…

I’m sure by now you’ve completed your queue of optimizations, but this is still in my opinion a must have. I’m going through the process now after losing all of my library and starting over. I also think that if a movie that doesn’t have an optimization yet is being transcoded live it should save t…

[image] Won't use more than one core for optimised transcodes General Discussions Server Version#: Official Docker latest (released 5 days ago) No matter what CPU settings I choose, it refuses to use more than one core at a time. No CPU pinning settings are in effect. …

I would vote for this but I don’t have a vote… I would like to see Plex expand this to other process like scanning… Plex checks CPUs usage and tries to use 80% (user setting)… My systems all have 4 cores and Plex doesn’t make a dent unless transcoding and since these systems are dedicate to PMS t…

Yea, if you’re sitting there pushing the buttons I have to assume you would know if your Plex server is busy or not - and since you actually want an optimized version before the turn of the century, you’d like that to happen as quickly as possible… But if the minds at Plex haven’t figured that out …

Juice I do agree with you… Any thing that you can do yourself and not have Plex do it is a plus. Since most things seem uncompleted, half ass I would say, and seems like no need on their part to even try to make things right. But there are a lot of things that do need to get done in the background…

“Options” are something Plex removes from the ‘user equation’ with maximum speed. Not all users are as dumb as a bag of hammers - and some might even know when their server is too busy for a user selected job - but we’ll never have such options until Plex discovers we can actually make some decisio…
