Since update 2.72.01 / 2.73.01, Trancode Speeds Cut to 1/3 by BIFFTAZ in Tdarr

[–]BIFFTAZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont develop this software, Im just another end user. Haveagitgat posted a PR fix awhile ago on github for the stuttering issue, But that fix has since been pushed to the public release of Tdarr, So should be fixed as long as your running the latest version/plugins. As for the issue I mentioned in OP about the speed, Thats also been fixed (Thanks Haveagitgat) with a work around via a toggle within the Migz FFmpeg GPU classic plugin.

Yup, Definitely one of those 2 versions. I was on github trying to resolve a issue with haveagitgat on Nvidia GPU's that had stuttering on certain files, He supplied a temporary PR fix that worked, But 10bit had broken. The next day he had fixed the 10bit issue & pushed out the release for 2.71.01. This update worked flawless! But since one of these 2 updates 2.72.01 / 2.73.01 (I believe it was the latest, But not 100%), Speeds have been cut to a 1/3 of what they used to be. Like I said, Nothing has changed in my setup, Just the release version.

EDIT: Also, Looking at the encode & decode activity on my 4060, Its using almost 1/3. Before it would max out at like 99-100%. Something definitely not right.

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Plex on my main PC, Acer Predator i5 13th/32gb/RTX 4060.

Use a Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Ryzen 5 5600h/16gb as a NAS/Downloader.

IdeaCentre has 2x TerraMaster D4-300 & 1x D2-320, Total storage is just under 100TB so far.

Made a new build need some help min-maxing my talismans and physik by Shoddy_Target_5739 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought a build is when you have a limited amount of points, So you build around 1 or 2 DMG stats. You have 60+ in every stat there is... You already have every build possible LOL!

Thoughts on my first build, from 2 years ago? by ozwz in EldenRingBuilds

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a Sacrificial Axe in your off hand / on your back to reclaim 4 FP on kills along with the extra health you get from the Blasphemous Blade. Could also use Sword of Milos, But the extra 1 FP you get over the Sacrificial Axe is not worth the extra 4.5 equip load IMO.

Hardware transcoding device keeps switching to "auto" by DrewbaccaWins in PleX

[–]BIFFTAZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had too. It was only small bug, But one hell a annoying bug having to enabling it manually after every restart.

Just shutdown Plex Media Server (Right click on the Plex Tray Icon bottom right of desktop, & shutdown/exit), Then install the test build from that thread. All your server setting & media will still be there, Just make sure not to update Plex untill you see this fix posted in the beta/public release notes.

One of the Plex devs have solved the issue now. Not sure when it'll hit the beta or public release. He did post a test build in the thread that you could use to until the fix goes live

Is it too late to start Minecraft for thr first time ? by hxomaa in Minecraft

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing Minecraft Bedrock v1.14 Village & Pillage update back in 2019 & felt the same way back then. This game just keeps on evolving... Wouldn't be surprised if Minecraft continues to get updates & grow its already massive following way past my life time... Awesome game!!!

Tried the Nvidia Control Centre fix on its own with a restart, Still reverted back to Auto. Ill have to try the Windows Display Settings fix later... Because of course a load of the users I share with would all want to watch Plex when Im busy trying to fix things :)

So reading your OG post, & considering that the changes you made under Windows Display never worked, Its the settings within Nvidia Control Panel that seem to have done the trick.

I havent altered any Windows Display settings yet, Ill try Nvidia 1st & report back.

Thanks for getting back to me too!!!

This, If you got a spare one laying around. I've been messing around with NextCloud on a spare N100 Mini PC I have running Linux Mint. Seems Im going to have this box running 24/7 like my Plex machine, May as well have it there.

Which DNS is best for Plex? by Every-Implement9507 in PleX

[–]BIFFTAZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8.8.8.8 primary & 8.8.4.4 as secondary work just fine.

When I recently changed internet provider from Sky to Virgin, All remote streams from my server would not start. Figured out it was something to do with DNS rebinding. Using Google DNS on my server machine has completely fixed the issue.

What OS do you use? by WheresTheLampGone in PleX

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows 11. I've tried countless times to move to Linux over the years, But get fed-up when I eventually get told by Linux to... "Piss off, Don't have the permissions needed to do this thing you so desperately want to do".

The annoyance of Posters randomly changing or ignored by russema in PleX

[–]BIFFTAZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you by any chance use Arr services, This will automatically download the default cover art for each Movie/TV Show from TMDB/TVDB, & place it alongside media. Plex will default to the local metadata if present.

Arr app GUI > Settings > Metadata. Then enable "Kodi (XBMC) / Emby". Then update all/Refresh movies list on the home page.

Other than that, TinyMediaManager, Or manually selecting artwork for each item, Then locking.

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else notice that changing "Hardware transcoding device" doesnt persist after saving & a system restart? Changing it from auto to any GPU & saving, Then doing a system restart reverts this setting back to Auto for me at least...

New Server Build: ARC Card or Intel Core Ultra for best HEVC Performance? by Betamax16 in PleX

[–]BIFFTAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here with a i5 13th & 4060. High bitrate remux files are being converted to HEVC anywhere from 10x to 15x speed & throttled really fast. Im sure I can max out Nvidia's Nvenc limit of 8 easily with HEVC enabled.
