Optimizing now one of my 4k files into 20 Mbps 1080p to give it a try and it's taking around 4 hours to complete... 😭

Thanks for replying. I would prefer a hassle free server. Meaning, I don't want to deal with optimized versions or having to download the same content in 4k HDR and in 1080p.

Hi guys, I've read a lot of threads and I can't decide which CPU to pick so I can start with my configuration around the CPU I pick... I'm trying to find the sweet spot between power consumption and enough performance to handle all the *arr apps and a Plex server. At home, I can direct play everything but remotely, due to bandwidth limits, I would eventually need to transcode 4k HDR content to SDR with tone mapping, maximum of 3 transcodes at the same time. Would it be worth to get an Intel T version, for example a 13500T instead of a 13500? Any of these probably would be overkill for this? I could get a cheap 10500T but again, I don't know if this CPU would be powerful enough, especially if it has to transcode 3 4k files simultaneously... Any advice would be appreciated... Thanks

Hey buddy, still using the N6005 with Plex? Can you share the full details of your setup? How does it handle direct play of 4K HDR remux files with bitrates of 60-80 mbps? And 4KH HDR to SDR tone mapping? Sorry for all the questions... I'm looking to build something powerful enough to direct play 4K HDR mostly in the local network, transcode 1-2 files to 1080p remotely and run Sonarr, Radarr, etc but low power consumption as possible. Thanks!
