You need to enable hardware acceleration in Plex and ensure it's running without buffering issues.
You need to enable hardware acceleration in Plex and ensure it's running without buffering issues.
You want a single 4K remux stream for a 60GB movie, but it’s slow and laggy. Your setup includes an i5-8400, four Seagate drives, a 32GB RAM drive, and a 3.5" NAS hard drive. The router supports Wi-Fi 6, but your internet speed is only 50 Mbps. You’re using ram transcoding for the stream. Consider enabling hardware acceleration on your NAS or streaming device, checking for firmware updates, and possibly upgrading to a faster network connection.
Try setting up Unraid to expose the GPU for Plex. After that, adjust Plex to use hardware transcoding. I can't assist with the initial configuration, but you should find plenty of guides online. This discussion appears in a forum thread about configuring transcoding with NVIDIA GPUs.
