Plex is buffering while transcoding ( i7-4790K)

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

After upgrading plex version (linuxserver container), watching movie is now impossible. Plex is buffering again and again as soon as he's transcoding, even with just 1 audio stream. I've got i7 4790K with 32 Go DDR3.

LG CX need to get a transcoded stream, while Apple TV read direclty on the server. In this case, plex just works fine.

I went through similar topic to try to fix it but I don't find any solution. (Network is good, plex is well setup..)

it must be confusion, latest plex version should be : 1.29.1

at first sight your docker settings seems ok, have you ever used specific script to enable quicksync at the start of the plex docker ?

this is the lastest of linuxserver repository. So it should be 1.29.1. I try to find it out in vain.

can you try with a video with .SRT subtitles ? I think the problem can be PGS subtitles...

weird problem, as a temporary workaround you can downgrade to older version if you want, just put "1.29.1.6316-f4cdfea9c-ls139" in the VERSION variable in your Plex docker settings...
