Hi  all

I am popping this in the general support as looking to see what other users experience.

 

I Installed Emby docker last night and was quite pleased with it however when I tested transcoding by watching a movie through my browser I noticed that my CPU jumped from 2-3% to 80%. I played around with some of the transcoding settings in emby however havn't been able to get it down to less than 60% and this is only on one stream.

 

I have a good spec CPU and Ram   - Intel Xenon E3 - 3.5GHz / 32GB Ram 

 

I am curious weather others notice this behavior and how you have decided to set emby either on UNRAID or off UNRAID.

 

Based on this thread at the Emby forums I am starting to think that perhaps the best route is dedicated hardware or a Windows Virtual Machine either on UNRAID or on Esxi - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24216-which-is-faster-emby-plugin-or-dedicated-server/

 

Keen to hear other peoples experience with this or any advice

 

I don't use Emby I use Plex but the entire point of Transcoding is it uses as much CPU as allowed. 

 

The number of streams is irrelevant.

 

I set Plex to only use 6 of the 8 threads available.

Hi thanks for the reply

I understand that I was just so surprised about the cpu usage on unraid that’s all
