Would you mind going into your Plex server setup a bit? I tried using a Pi before but could barely get it to trasncode anything, and playback was miserable. Now I'm using a Kimsufi server, but I'd prefer to have a locally running server (that isn't my main PC) as my Plex media server
- thedanbob 7y agoI'm using a NUC rather than a Pi for Plex, but I avoid transcoding on the server by just transcoding everything up front. Nearly every client these days can play H.264 natively.
- sjs382 7y agoIf you have total control of the media files and the clients, you can avoid transcoding altogether. Everything on my server plays on all of my clients without transcoding. From what I understand, an “Atomic Pi” is inexpensive and can handle a few transcodes at once, if that’s a requirement of yours.
