I run my Plex off an old 10 year old NAS. It can choke on multiple torrents being shuffled around, but is more than sufficient for streaming video.

Did you do the simplist google search of "windows tool to restart windows applications? If no, why not? If yes, do none of these look appealing? https://www.raymond.cc/blog/keep-application-running-by-automatically-rerun-when-closed/ also, there is usually very little reason to be on the bleeding edge newest Plex server release.

I don't think you'll get any performance out of the RAMdisk idea. If you DO do it, then hit us up with the performance metrics.

Anyone have any experience with Dolby Vision stuff throwing the error "File is unplayable. Color space is not supported."? Looking on line it seems that it is intermittent and depends on version. One of my friends actually got playback that was all purple tinted and then LATER got the error. I thought Plex could transcode 10bit stuff down. Am I mistaken? This stuff SHOULD play if it's a direct stream, if we put transcoding aside right?

forest spirit posted:I'm surprised that since nvidia released the broadcast software a year go we'd see some software solution or hints of AI raising the volume of speech in content. Nvidia's "Broadcast" app currently does exactly the inverse for voice communications, remove everything but voice. No reason it can't do the opposite if they wanted.

forest spirit posted:yeah that's what I'm saying. I just hadn't thought it through that a tegra probably can't handle audio scooping along with everything else if broadcast is able to chew into a 1080ti's performance noticeably. I ran the earlier version on a 1070 for quite a while, any performance hit was quite negligible. In any case, I doubt we'll see that sort of thing backported.

Oysters Autobio posted:What would be the cheapest for being able to support 4-5 users? If everything is direct streaming, you could do 50 users! I think maybe you are approaching this incorrectly. You don't know what the load will be on your 4-5 users, but you want to spend the least amount of money to do it. How is that supposed to be figured out? Maybe come up with a budget first.

Tangential question, what's the best practice way to expose my library to selected users for uploading/downloading to the library? FTP is certainly one way to do it, but I suspect it is very insecure. I have an Ubuntu install running.

I've got an original model shield, and other than needing a new remote (triangle better!), it's been rock solid. It only ever gets to pass stereo... good to know about it's direct passthrough capabilities though.

Maybe you can cram a cheap nvenc video card into it? Although, why not figure out the cause of the buffering. It should never do that due to drive or CPU speed? If you are trying to transcode multiple streams on CPU, then I would expect issues. LRADIKAL fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Mar 12, 2023 |

EL BROMANCE posted:Did you see the 2x 18tb they were offering for $550? Mentions it by the add to cart button. If you’re getting two drives it might be worth going for that one if the $50 additional isn’t a ‘I’ve spent too much already’ thing. what did you gently caress up? Maybe i did the same. order cancelled in any case :/ Did you see the same purchase stuff as I did, but Paypal is supposed to credit me? I've never used a paypal discount before.

EL BROMANCE posted:I got the 14 and the 16 mixed up when I put my purchase through, I accidentally bought the 14 at 265. I realized my error, cancelled it and got the 16 at 249. Just a simple mistake from having too many tabs open as I was looking up prices on both capacities. Cool, hopefully they'll credit me, screenshotted the offer and my order confirmation just in case. I got that 18TB combo deal, sick! I DO have another 50 bucks! $515 all said and done for 36TB of storage. Not bad. Thanks for the tip. As an aside, I did the original purchase as a "guest" on the western digital site, and then panicked because I thought i wasn't getting the rebate or however it worked. I cancelled the order then I attempted to sign up for the site, cause why not? Anyhow I got a welcome message, attempted to login and it didn't like my username/password. I tried to reset my password, but it didn't send an email. Finally did chat support today after work and the guy was like "you bought this as a guest" and i told him what happened and he was like "go here and create an account" and I was like "i can't! the button is greyed out" and he goes "you're right, the site can't create new accounts right now, we'll send you an email when we have an update, goodbye" ten minutes later I get the chat log and another email saying "welcome to the site". Sounds like I broke the site and for almost a full day new logins weren't able to be created, and someone kicked the authentication server or whatever, and it woke back up.

Zero VGS posted:Plex supports AV1 right? I figure that's relevant if you live in the US hellscape where bandwidth is still so lovely for people, so GPU would be the way to go for that. Not very well. Need a hardware decoder to handle more than a stream or two, I'm not sure many of the clients support it either.

Scruff McGruff posted:You can find low profile 1050's for under $100 but without hacked drivers I think you're limited to 2 transcodes? Seems like GPU pricing is bouncing up a bit again, I got a 1050ti for that price like 6 months ago but now they're up to like $150. 5 encodes 1 decode. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new edit: i misread the matrix, it's 5/5 i think. Also this has been getting updated at least since nvidia announced they were unlocking more transcode threads on most cards. the restrictions were loosened in 2023 allowing up to 5 simultaneously encoding video streams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC LRADIKAL fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Aug 7, 2023 |

It's not hard to do the math on consumption x kwh cost. You can even use a kill-a-watt device to get pretty accurate measures of device power consumption.

I looked a few pages back. What's the recommended mini PC, or maybe what's the next step up from that in terms of transcode/storage/memory sort of capacity for use in more general server stuff as well.

My new hard drives are audible while previous ones were not. Moving my server is definitely an option. I can ask in the Linux thread if this doesn't pan out, but here we go. When a video file starts streaming, can the system immediately load the file into memory so that it's not clunking away for the whole playtime? It's Ubuntu with 16GB of memory and decent hardware transcode capabilities.

deong posted:I'm using a docker image for ytube downloads. It has a webui. Thanks, tried this one as it seemed like a good mix of low command line and capability. Also thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'm now ending up with .webm files ( this video, to be exact https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnkNPejF0LA ) I'm having trouble getting Plex to recognize it. It seems to be in the Plex tv database. (https://watch.plex.tv/show/taskmaster-champion-of-champions) I've tried renaming the .webm to mkv and mp4, have added "S02E02" but I can't get the file to even show up in Plex's TV's unmatched files. Am I missing something obvious? Can I configure the utility to output H264 or something else? Is it down to the name? coded?
