Hello:

I have used the Plexamp 128 kbps opus transcoding for a very long time. My server used to transcode the entire FLAC song just about instantly, and the song would start playing just about instantly after tapping on it. Now, it spins and buffers for a minimum of 30 seconds before it even starts playing, and even then the transcoding is super slow. I am not sure if a recent PMS or Plexamp update broke the transcoding, but my server is more than capable. I even tested a opus transcode on the command line, ~150 MB Flac song, about 11 minutes in length, and it transcoded the entire song to 128 kbps in 11 seconds. My network configuration has not changed and neither has the hardware, so this new behavior seems like a recent update caused it. For kicks and grins, I even installed the windows server version of PMS and the same issue persists. Therefore it cannot be a Linux/Docker issue.

Never mind. After more scrolling someone else had the same issue and @elan stated it was fixed in an upcoming PMS release. Apologies for the new topic.
