I have a windows 10 server with a 2060KO for transcoding. I’ve always had inconsistent transcoding in Plex. Usually it’s not that big of deal, but i have a few dozen h265 4k mkv movies that sometimes won’t direct play on devices. Some are more problematic than others for whatever reason, like the divergent series and hunger games series. I created optimized versions for each, but i really just want them to work on the fly.
My GPU is more than capable of transcoding h265 4k movies, and I’m only attempting one transcode at a time. I have plenty of memory and I’ve dedicated 8GB of it to transcoding (just did that tonight). But no matter what i do, i can’t get Plex to NOT direct steam these movies to my Pixel 2 XL, which can’t play them properly. What in God’s name do i need to do to get this to work correctly and consistently? There’s like a million different transcoding settings between server and client and i think I’ve changed every single one with no difference.
