kaledi 32 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hello, I have the PR4100 and recently moved from Plex to EMBY. I'd like to understand the capabilities of this set up for transcoding. I've set up a couple of test conversions HEVC to HEVC and the conversation speed is very slow. The CPU doesn't seem to be maxed out. Therefore, I'd like to know the following 1. Is Hardware encoding available for AVC and HEVC 2. Does a background conversion take a low priority (to explain the slow conversion rate). 3. How many 1080p AVC (or HEVC) stream encodes can we expect to be achievable concurrently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi there, have you checked out the server's conversion settings? You may have unchecked the option to run conversions at full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaledi 32 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yes, it is set to full speed and max thread count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ok, can we look at an example then? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaledi 32 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Do you mean a log file or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yes a conversion log example would be great, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaledi 32 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Here is the log file from one of the conversions that took an absolute age. This was the second or third attempt with this file and I even set it to convert to 'original' quality. Other conversions i've attempted have been quicker. And to be clear - can I check that PR4100 supports both AVC and HEVC hardware encoding? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
