I can believe that. I really do think the wifi is holding me back. I will try using a USB-C Ethernet adapter and plug into my network next.
EDIT: Testing now with Ethernet adapter. So far, 2 x 4K > 1080p streams is working great.
EDIT: The Ethernet helped, but now I’m thinking I am running into issues with memory. My 8GB model is running 167% in PMS That’s with 4 streams. What is the guy on Facebook running?
EDIT: Nope… just turns out I am an idiot. Forgot that Plex doesn’t default to hardware acceleration upon install. Turned that on and I can get 5 4K > 1080p (10mbps) transcodes going. Still think memory may be an issue though.
EDIT: Here is 6 x 1080p BD > 1080p (10mbps) transcodes with 2 x 4K HDR > 1080p (10mbps) transcodes… M1 doesn’t skip a beat…
