Unraid tweaks for Media server performance?
Hi Everyone
Unraid is great and I am like many others using my Unraid server for Plex (And of course other things)
So I would really like to collect all the tweaks and "Hack" done by others to increase performance of large Media servers doing transcoding
First just to get the "normal" recommendation listed:
Appdata on cache drive (Fast as possible - SSD/M2)
HW encoding using Unraid Nvidia plugin + GPU
Structure of media in each folder/optimize f
I found by accident another tweak:
Direct disk access (Bypass Unraid SHFS)
Usually you set your Plex docker paths as follows:
/mnt/user/Sharename
For example this path for your Movies
/mnt/user/Movies
and this path for your AppData Config Path (which contains the thumbnails, frequently updated database file, etc):
/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server
But instead, you should use this as your Config Path:
/mnt/cache/appdata/Pl
