Server Version#: 1.32.3.7192 — Ubuntu Server LTS22.04 running in a Proxmox VM with 6 cores/10GB RAM and passed-through Intel iGPU; host CPU is Intel i3-10100 8-core @ 3.6GHz
plex log.txt (115.2 KB); media is stored on a Synology NAS with a private GbE network connection to the Plex server.
Player Version#: 1.57.1.3358-5fd2a504 — MacPro5,1 2×Intel X5675 6-core @ 3.06GHz, AMD RTX580 8GB, MacOS 10.14.6
(There are similar topics going back years, but no resolutions. ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
Finally got this server configured with pass-through of the internal GPU. All seems well, except for random stopping after about 7 minutes when playing 4K content transcoding to 1080p (20Mbps). I avoid this particular kind of transcoding, but it was a useful test.
After 6.5–7.5 minutes of uneventful playback, playback stops and I’m back at the title screen as if I had pressed stop. All the time, bandwidth usage is stable, CPU usage is low and stable. I can immediately resume playback, and it works just fine, although it defaults to full rate playback and I have to reselect transcoding.
I’ve tried three different 4K titles. Same for each.
Is this a software bug or configuration issue? Or do I just need a beefier server?
