This is a very informative video but I feel it may give the impression that as long as you only watch your media at home then transcoding won't be an issue. Plex doesn't just transcode when you're outside of the home and the video needs to be compressed, that's only one of the few situations in which it will transcode. It will also transcode when the device you're using isn't compatible with one or more codecs contained in the file. For example if you try to play an H.265/HEVC movie on an original Chromecast, Plex will have to transcode that H.265/HEVC file to H.264 because the OG Chromecast doesn't support HEVC, there's also a large issue that comes up in anime which makes heavy SSA/ASS subtitles and basically no device is compatible with that subtitle format so Plex has to transcode the file to burn those subtitles into the video. So even if you only watch your media at home a Raspberry Pi may not make a good Plex server and access to hardware transcoding may still be a requirement for an enjoyable experience. In my own opinion, a Pi is best as a "PortaPlex" aka a portable Plex server connected to a few 2.5" SSDs or portable hard drives with all the media already transcoded to the most commonly/widely supported codecs to use when you won't have a reliable internet connection when traveling or while in the car. That way the Pi can direct stream pretty much everything and will never have to worry about transcoding.

Hi !! Could you comment / compare how a J4125 (intel) will compare with a GPU from MSI Geoforce Gt1030 2G Low Profile or a 1650 4GT LPOC or a 1030 2G LP OC ? I have been considering a unit from QNAP 453D vs a 473a and adding any of those cards (if found), but, I am a bit confused about how much performance I would get using any of those cards on the 473a vs using a 453D or 253D. THe 473a uses an AMD chip --> AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1500B 4-core/8-thread 2.2 GHz processor, so, It just makes me wonder if it's worth it ? or should i just pass and get a 253D (2 bays) or the same 453D (4 bays). Both 453 and 253 use celeron chips with transcoding. But, my concern in the end is really how much will i be getting if I went the AMD way. I have looked at the specs, but really there is only so much I know that, I would really appreciate your recommendation. My transcoding would to share videos from my iphone to family and friends but keep them stored on a NAS. Thanks ! I have played a bit with PI 4 as a nas, and again, it works but can't do transcoding properly ( is to small or lacks a bit of power - if transcoding to lower bit Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I used to have a Plex Pass and use hardware transcoding to watch my ripped media on various devices. But these days I simply put a code from the disc into MoviesAnywhere so I can stream movies to those devices both inside and outside my home. If I want to watch the movie on a TV or my projector I can do so using a blu-ray player (for a disc) or Shield TV (for a rip.) Generally the streaming quality to a phone or tablet is equal to or better than what I got from transcoding on the fly, and Apple, Google, Vudu, MoviesAnywhere, and the like often provide extras that I never bother to rip from disc.

You can use GPU usage monitoring to observe Plex unload the transcoding (essentially a resize and re-encode to specific bitrate) jobs to the GPU. nVidia GPUs perform way better than Intels. The nVidia GTX-1050Ti in my laptop is twice as fast as the Intel UHD630 in my laptop. AMD Radeons fall somewhere in between. To monitor GPU usage, install nvidia-smi / intel-gpu-tools / amd-aticonfig or amd-radeontop.

One important thing to note is that the hw transcoding won't help you when you have image subtitles(ex .idx, .sub and usually .mkv file) . The transcoding only apply to video. So if you need to watch vdo with image subtitle , you need to get the i5/i7 for your plex server, unfortunately. Image subtitle transcoding can only be done with raw CPU power.

I am thinking of getting a QNAP TS-251D to replace my TS-251A to get decent Hardware Transcoding but I am afraid I'll have a terrible video quality when transcoding.. I saw a solution with getting a small Quadro card to use for transcoding but no way I am spending over 1000€ for a NAS only to be able to build in a 400€ GPU.. That seems very expensive to me.. Would be awesome if you'd do a video where you compare the transcoding quality - Software (via CPU), Intel QS (like in this video) and with an NVidia GPU.

Does the GPU help at all with hardware encoding on plex or is that only on the CPU? 2) If I went with extra storage of a synology NAS would I then lose the extra hardware encoding that I now have with using my computer ? I usually use about 2-3 streams at once with all being transcoded in some nature.
