Post #149254456 added 08-23-2021 2:19 PM by GAKteam in Deal Talk
Thank you for the detailed note..... I do appreciate your taking time to deep-dive into the issue. I agree the networking is not ideal, I have band-aided it where Plex works for Plexamp remotely...

I see you're *still* remote, even though you state you're on the same network. In fact, I see when you're playing from 127.0.0.1 you're also listed as remote. Something is fundamentally wrong with...

that's a lot of help, thanks! Refer attached file (1 server​) for server details Refer attached file (2) which shows transcoding when media is played directly on server desktop browser (just a...

The i5-8265U is the Plex server, right? That's where the driver update is required. It's not clear to me why a Shield would need to transcode for normal 4k HDR. ...

Thanks for all the help. You're right. Checking on Intel site returned 3 driver updates Windows® 10 Wi-Fi Drivers for Intel® Wireless Adapters Install Intel® Graphics - Windows® DCH Drivers...

A few thoughts: 1. Driver: Get the latest from Intel. Don’t rely on Windows Updates. 2. It appears you are using a i5-8265U, the ultra-low-power laptop CPU. Is that right? If so, can’t...

Refer attached file 1 with screenshots of driver. Refer attached file 2 with screenshots of dashboard when running the same file on Nvidia My server is hardwired to my AT&T modem/router. The...

So many things... 1. Driver date of 4/2009 for a new Intel HD 630 graphics iGPU in a 10th gen i3? That makes no sense. Please check and tell me the driver date for the Intel HD 630 graphics you...

What's the date on the Intel video driver you're using? That's surprising. Plex is very good, particularly with PlexPass. What's the client that's forcing the transcode? Are subs in...

The Intel drivers are up to date. Running 1 transcode (4K, 15.4Mbps -> 2160p, 15.4Mbps) bumps the CPU utilization from 75%. Plus buffering every 2 min. Plex Transcode (32bit) -> 55% CPU, 32% GPU, ...

Not at all. I'm sure your RAM is fine. So when you're transcoding, what's stressed? Look in Task Manager or Resource Manager, and see what's happening. Dig into the details and you can see...
Post #149224150 added 08-21-2021 11:37 PM by GAKteam in Deal Talk
That's gone down to near zero after implementing the changes you recommended, thanks! The RAM usage is still high (60% system, 10% Plex server). Will upgrading the RAM help with transcodes?
Post #149222416 added 08-21-2021 7:36 PM by dclive in Deal Talk
Yes, I know. I am asking what the system is doing when you're at idle that swallows 40% of your CPU. What's happening? That is far from typical. Do you have some massive tasks in the background...
Post #149222398 added 08-21-2021 7:35 PM by GAKteam in Deal Talk
Will do, thanks! The 40% idle usage is by system, not the Plex server. Sorry for the confusion.
Post #149221270 added 08-21-2021 5:43 PM by dclive in Deal Talk
Update your intel graphics drivers to the latest version via Intel.com. And again, what's it doing at idle that it's using 40% CPU?
Post #149220376 added 08-21-2021 4:30 PM by GAKteam in Deal Talk
I have Plex Pass......Didn't have hardware transcoding enabled (presuming it needed graphics card)...enabled 'Use hardware acceleration when available'....now media server utilization is down to 60%...
Post #149220289 added 08-21-2021 4:24 PM by dclive in Deal Talk
Sure - buy Plexpass and take advantage of hardware transcoding; it will fix all your CPU issues. Try it for a month to confirm it does what I say, and then buy it - best deal ever. I've had it for...

Been using it as a dedicated Plex server....uninstalled bloatware (AV, Office etc.)...added Team Viewer & idrive (for daily backup) The system runs at 60% RAM & 40% Processor utilization when not...

Setup is easy. I bought 8 gb of extra ram and installed. It's a great little machine if you are just using it for easy tasks, email, lite gaming. The SSD isnt the greatest(SK Hynix) but its more than...
