Because I wanted to enable video thumbnails , I have upgraded my Plex Server with a Ryzen 7 5700G. I have a large library and I thought a fast CPU would generate them more quickly. Guess what… I’m pretty disappointed… The “Plex Transcoder.exe”, which seems to generate the thumbnails, only utilizes the CPU 10% at maximum and only 4 of 8 cores. Is this normal? Is there no way to make more use of the CPU?
Might not work for your setup, but faster VPT generation was done here:
