Hardest part was the power shell command it that only took about an hour to whip up. I made a power shell script the scans a directory for video files based on size and extensions and then did a forward command that passed each file into a job create command and submitted it to the job manager on the head node.

Hpc server 2012 update 3 is out and is super easy to install. (Xeon E3-1240) I also have my Emby Server setup in an ESXi VM so I can control overall resources given to the guest OS so I don't bog down the whole server. Anyhow, with the hardware accelerated transcoding turned on, I have tested up to 4 concurrent streams and my CPU use wasn't even over 40%. I put all my transcoding cache on a cheap SSD, so it takes a few seconds less to start the transcoded video stream than with a normal HDD.

Another nice feature is that it will transcode live TV too, so I can access all my TV stations right within the interface. You can also set the maximum bitrate allowed for transcoding so you don't kill your upload as well. It supports Intel QuickSync and Nvidia NVENC, so if you have an Intel processor or add a dedicated video card for transcoding purposes, it will cut your CPU use down to nil when users remote in and start playing content. I switched over to it a while back, and the transcoding features they offer are the best I've used for a media server. That being said, I'm just waiting for server controls, as it's accidentally shown up in PMS Plexpass versions as an option, so I hate to waste the time and power transcoding lots of files if it's in the near future.Īnother option to avoid re-encoding all your media would be to give Emby Server (and the associated apps) a try. transcoded/movies/Movie Name (Year)), and use handbrake-cli with the parameters you want to output to this directory. in the current path (let's say /storage), create a new directory for your transcoded files (i.e. Otherwise, I would whip up a BASH script to find all. This method would allow to share only the re-encoded libraries with remote users to "know" that they are all using the correct settings all the while, putting almost zero CPU load on his server (other than the MASSIVE amount of time he will spend I can't remember what OS you are using on this server, but if it's Windows, these scripts work well.
The issue is that a remote user can dial in a high desired bitrate or try to direct stream a high bitrate encode and kill it for other remote users. I have a large Plex library with remote users and I frequently run out of upload bandwidth way before I run out of processing power. The user chooses the bandwidth on their end, rather than the server saying I have 100Mbps, and I'll balance the load across X number of remote users. Would love to discuss.Ĭlick to expand.I would wonder the same thing except that Plex doesn't have good controls for limiting bandwidth to remote users. I'm wondering what some others may have done to bulk convert their large media libraries.

I'd love to be able to make full use of my dual Xeon D-1537 servers which both have full access to my media libraries. No matter what transcoder settings I configure I never see the CPU usage go above 1000% (barely 60% usage) when running top/htop in Linux. I've considered using the built in Plex Media Optimizer but from what I've seen the it doesn't take full advantage of my hardware. I would then use these files to create new separate media libraries that my remote users would only be able to access while I'd still use all the original files for my own local/remote streaming uses. I've found this seems to be the best format for files to be in for direct play compatibility amongst all Plex client apps/devices.

I'm looking for suggestions for the best way to go about converting the bulk of my media libraries (2000+ movies, 14,000+ TV episodes) into 4Mbps 720p mp4 files with AAC audio.
