Have you tried direct play and various transcoded bit rates? Just to rule out the wireless reception, can you try with the wifi router right next to your TV?

Have any of you worked out a work around for both pillarboxing and letterboxing at the same time on ultrawide screens that doesn't involve re-encoding all my media? Just a basic zoom option or the ability to route the video through madVR would be great. So tired of having a 25" image on a 34" screen

TheScott2K posted:I don't think so ATM  And they render video differently   Plex media player does tone mapping and Pan & Scan. I wasn't exactly looking to chop the sides from videos. You can change the zoom mode to a few preselected options.... but you can only do that in TV mode which makes mouse scrubbing unfunctional.

Is there a way to force remote clients to default to direct play if they are capable? Every new device seems to default to 2mbit transcode which is rough on my server that has a lot more bandwidth than cpu power. CopperHound fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Apr 27, 2021 |

hbag posted:anyone know how i can tell sonarr to hard link torrent files rather than copying them? or does it do that by default? i genuinely can't tell - the file modification times seem exactly the same in both directories so im ASSUMING it's hard linking?  Unfortunately it doesn't work across file systems.

Are you running docker and passing a separate path for downloads and Media? That's the problem that I have on unraid right now and I'm too lazy to fix.

nexus6 posted:I have a local setup for Sonarr/Radarr/Plex. A mini PC running Sonarr & Radarr grabs files then transfers them over the network to the HDD I have attached to a Shield running Plex. For $150±30 you can find a used Lenovo or HP micropc with 8gb of ram, a small ssd, and a CPU that handles transcoding. Might be closer to $200 if you want a CPU that can do 4k 10bit hdr. Then decide if you want to learn about Linux or just keep windows because most of the mini PC's come with a license. Or as everyone else is saying, just keep using what works and replace a fan.

That Works posted:Right now the server is running an Intel i3-3220 processor with 32gb of RAM on a DH67BL motherboard (linked below) with no separate GPU attached. Failing that, I would suggest running plex on a device separate from your NAS such as an USFF pc or shield.

This page has a chart that lists quick sync compatibility https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video Looks like 7th gen and newer should be good for HDR.

Any of you running Plex on Linux have an issue with the /dev/dri directory just disappearing until a reboot? This is an 8th gen Intel on debian. I just want reliable quick sync.

I have an interesting problem. Somehow only transcoding an audio stream gives me occasional splashes of smeared colors when playing HDR content to my tv, but if I direct play the AC3 track it is fine.  I already have a work around of "select the other audio track", but is there a way I can easily edit all my files to make my AC3 track the default selection?

nexus6 posted:So my drive containing my media is getting close to full again and I'm getting tired of picking & deleting shows I don't want around anymore just to make space. I've heard about transcoding my files to smaller file sizes - is there a 'set it and forget it' guide to this? Last time I looked you had to install this thing with a bunch of nodes and install plugins etc etc. I'd much rather select my media dir, pick some output formats and just press 'go'. E: I somehow missed several hours of posts. The main thing I want to do is repackaging anything that has trueHD or DTS stream listed first to put an English AC3 track at the top of the list and not delete the original if it does an audio transcode. Mostly because Plex is stupid as poo poo and will chose to transcode even when it doesn't have to. CopperHound fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jan 26, 2023 |

Khablam posted:I don't know what bitrate you're targeting here, but going for lowish bitrate with QSV or NVENC isn't a great idea most of the time*. I did some pixel peeping with qsv bringing a 15mbit show down to 8mbit. Even at very slow setting I did notice a little more artifacting, but it did look a lot better than normal speed.

Enderzero posted:If I’m running a plex server and give someone a shared account to watch some shows on, how is that data transmitted? Is it encrypted or anything? My friend has a paranoid boyfriend who is worried about getting in trouble, and I can’t convince him that no one is watching for some random video data flowing point to point in a stream. Anything to know that might soothe his fears? That said, plex isn't a great option for tinfoil hat types.

I played around with it a little bit, but generally each service will be on a different port, so there isn't much use to giving each its own IP too. Maybe you might have a good reason to have the public side a reverse proxy show up as its own host on the network.

toplitzin posted:Manually changing the resolution via playback settings (480/720/1080) either gets ignored and still appears to direct play/4k or it shits itself/spins on buffering. I forget if I fixed it by installing drivers from a non-free repo or by setting up a real transcode directory on an ssd instead of to ram.
