Disk Usage: The transcoding process uses temporary disk storage for the converted media.If you have a choice between adding more RAM (assuming there’s enough RAM for the operating system to run well) or a faster/better CPU, choose CPU for better Plex transcoding performance. Generally, the more powerful the Plex Media Server’s CPU the better, as transcoding is a CPU intensive process. Processor Usage: Transcoding a media file can be CPU intensive.However, there are some things that happen during transcoding that deserve your consideration. The process is automatic and you don’t need to worry about specific details. Media that is incompatible with your device will be transcoded to a playable format. If you’re having problems with certain media, try turning the Universal Transcoder off. If you see an option in a client to use the Universal Transcoder, it should generally be enabled. It includes all the smarts of the old transcoder but is much more powerful, faster and smarter. Plex Universal Transcoder: The original Plex Transcoder will be replaced completely by the Plex Universal Transcoder.
It is still included with the Server for compatibility reasons. As the Server has evolved, development of the original Plex Transcoder has stopped and it will be phased out.
There are some things that you need to know around controlling the transcoder, but they’re easy settings. The great thing is, you don’t have to worry too much about this. It understands what types of file and format–language if you will–a particular client can handle and translates your media into that language. The Server acts as a Universal Translator. They have special requirements when it comes to playing back media. Mobile devices are still in their infancy and are not nearly as powerful or flexible as a desktop PC.
Have a small, lower-resolution integrated display.Have a restricted set of media types it can play back (H.264).Have a low powered, power efficient processor that isn’t capable of processing high-resolution files smoothly.Is usually attached to a high-resolution display.Can play a broad array of media encodings (H.264, VC-9, WMV, etc.).Have an extremely powerful processor and so it can process high-resolution files with ease.These devices are quite different in several important ways. The device you play back media on might be a powerful desktop PC or maybe a mobile phone.
