Playback Error: This server is not powerful enough to convert video

Server Version#: 1.25.7.5604
Player Version#:4.29.2
I see a lot of people having this problem (I think, I am not up to speed on the jargon) but I cannot find a solution. None of my media will play through the web portal/apps in my house (tv, ipad etc) but WILL play on the desktop plex media player. I have a robust system (5800x and 3080) and every file gets the above error code. This has never been a problem and was not a problem with my old system (6700k and 1080). It has worked with this new PC as well. What is going on here? I think I have all my settings correct for maximum performance, and I certainly did not change anything since the last time it worked (other than server update). Please advise.

Edit: I also get “not enough CPU for the render of this item” which is nonsense.

Provide a screenshots of the following from your Plex Media Server:

Settings > Remote Access (Show Advanced)
Settings > Network (Show Advanced)
Settings > Transcoder (Show Advanced)
Settings > Scheduled Tasks (Show Advanced)

Windows Task Manager (More details) > Performance

Also please provide your server logs
