Yep that’s correct, initially an 18.04.1 build (which is why I included the kernel version) ---

Hi all, had anyone noticed a rise in CPU usage on their server when using the latest version? Remote users it hardware transcodes using my Nvidia GPU, but for some unknown reason on live TV, the CPU gets put through 1 core per user at 100%… Is it an issue with the latest version of PMP or the server?

Hi there, above all, great work. Thanks for your efforts, Knapsu. However, on a freshly installed (k)ubuntu (current versions), I encounter the problem, that the video playback is choppy. It get’s some kind of “hickup” every 1-2s. I start the player from flatpak. The only real error message (or warning) is “Cannot load libcuda.so.1”. I tried to google but wasn’t able to fix. I wrote (k)ubuntu, since I first installed a clean Kubuntu distribution (same behavior: choppy video playback), and then, do make sure it is not related to the distribution, installed a clean Ubunta. Both current versions. What can I do? Hardware is a tiny fanless Kodlix GN41 mini PC. The Plex Server is on the same device. Streaming from this device to a client on a different device works well. Any help (or fix) appreciated. Frank ---

Some more details: It seems as if I encounter a lot lost frames. When in diagnostics mode (diagnostics view) of the Plex Player, the “lost frames” counters counts up while watching and the “hick up” of the video seems to cause an increase of the counter. This might be some kind of transcoder or player plugin issue. BTW: I also downgraded to Ubuntu 16 without any effect. Any ideas? ---

Point a fan at the box, if it goes away it is thermal throttling. ---

Hi Tiebierius, it’s definitely worth a try. Thanks a lot. But however, streaming with the web client works fine, for each, the local PMS (running on the same device) and a different PMS which runs on a local NAS. #edit Actually, it seems as if it is no thermal problem. sensors shows a temp \<60° for all cores. ---

@Knapsu Does the PMP appimage read the mpv.conf from the system and if so where does it read it from? I’ve been putting my changes in /etc/mpv/mpv.conf, but PMP doesn’t seem to be picking them up. Should I be putting them somewhere else? I’m running Ubuntu Mate 18.04.2 and PMP 2.33.1 ---

works on 1080p… 4k is catastrophic … Settings menu is grey all over … the rest is buggy and has gigantic grey pixels all over it … using intel nuc J3455. nice try tho. it stays the way it is … there is simply not a single good plex player/device out there … still crap plex ---

Your issues are probably all because your system is just not powerful enough to decode and play 4K smoothly. Don’t blame Plex—or especially a user like Knapsu who’s just packaging stuff, not responsible for any of the code—for your “crap” hardware. ---

no, knapsu does a good job. He keeps Plex-Devs pants up. They are not even able to get PMP on linux. I get it. But again, i guess any system is able to get the MENU in 4k … anyways, the J3455 is advertised as 4K able. Also Kodi works like a charm - any Menu, any file. Its again crap Plex. I know, i could try the stupid Version of embedded Players. But without debian behind it, it’s just a waste of money. Having still a system on a $250 HTPC (or micro-server like i want to) is the whole reason this thread exists. I guess right now, as always was, best or most versatile/no brainer is to use Kodi as backend (PHT or kodi+plugin). A shame. ---

oh damn if only plex could release the same app officially in ubuntu app store. it’s so damn easy, why don’t they? i don’t even ask for the win10 app copy, just a standalone app like this one would be ok.
