Netbug 26 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 My current build is having trouble keeping up with the number of transcodes that are being asked of it. What processor range should I be looking at to have the system still respond well under 3-5 1080p streams? As i understand it, the processor is the workhorse for transcoding, so I'd like to get a ballpark cost amount for what I need to spend on that before I start looking at other components. Thanks.

Guest asrequested Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 My server runs on an i7 6700k. I have my TV recordings transcoded, and I can transcode 3 at a time with ease. For playback, you can enable quick sync for transcoding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 QuickSync is Intel's GPU transcoding. In the server, look under transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 If you're building a new server, you may want to consider an i7 7700k, as has a better GPU and better hardware acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netbug 26 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 QuickSync is Intel's GPU transcoding. In the server, look under transcoding. Sorry, so this isn't an Emby setting? It's in the processor settings? I didn't even know processors had settings (I'm a noob... still). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Do you know how to open the server dashboard? Just look on the left side for transcoding. Mine presently set to none, as there was an issue transcoding H265 (which I need to test again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netbug 26 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Got it. I'll give it a go and look into a processor of that caliber or higher for the upgrade. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I just bought these for my HTPC, but they would be great for a server https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRYHW6B/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXSI216/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swynol 375 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 i use an i3 3220 it handles 2 streams fine. aslong as i stagger the start it can transcode another one. think i would be pushing it to transcode more than 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
