Largely I have had better luck getting nvidia to work with transcoding in Linux. The 650 won't have the nvenc encoder for acceleration though, but the 1050 does.

In that case I would say either encode your videos to about 15. Or with Plex pass it will automatically transcode to what you connection is able to handle. I have used it a lot for a while so I got the lifetime version to support the project as well.

FileCloud will be ablet to map a drive directly and pretty easily if I remember correctly.

On a phone you are right. He didn't say what too. Plex pass will allow transcoding.

1080p with low bit rate will be fine. High bit rate 4k from Blu-ray not so much. That could be in excess of 20mbps. Only recently have I been able I do above 10 with Comcast.

For a couple of users, the hardware you have will work fine. Jellyfin for GPU encoding might be a little odd as I don't know if it supports intel but it might. I don't use that app. Toss on linux mint and docker and you can start setting that stuff up.

This is good while at home, but if you don't have good upload speeds you will have problems streaming that quality of content.

Sort of depends on your budget and prices on your area. If you have access to Lenovo m920q tiny pcs, they work pretty well.

I would lookup either immich or nextcloud. You can run those as a server on that machine and then sycn your iPhone to those. You can make it accessible over the internet or have your phone connect back over a VPN server.

That was the area I was thinking about. Odd that it isn't showing up and i don't think the fc cards would behave different from regular than the 9300 16i SAS cards there. If you don't see it there I am sadly out of ideas. Not sure if your motherboard has uefi or legacy bios. I always ran it with a machine that had legacy bios and nothing else connected when I have run it in the past.

Ops I missed where you already mentioned the pin you can set.

Yeah you create different profiles on your one account just like Netflix etc. You can also protect the main profile with a pin if you do desire. I am fairly certain that the account doing the download need pass. Will probably test that tomorrow since I'm not sure. I haven't used plex in a little bit since I have been using emby while at home since it's response time is faster and I don't have to fight with it when my home internet is down which has been a struggle for me with Plex. But I still use plex when I am out of my home.

Have you tried the steps from the last post in that link provided? You should be able to use the pre boot environment from Broadcom to attempt recovery as per that thread and I have done in the past with different cards. https://www.broadcom.com/support/knowledgebase/1211161499804/lsi-pre-boot-usb-tool-download?SID=31285X1023697X489e0521ec1e917e7f3b92a52dde291e&API1=100&API2=100062990&cjid=100062990&cjevent=f81600c9dda011ee837f9e7e0a82b82d

It depends on what you want it to do. To skip ads, do local downloads, and skip intros and credits that needs plex pass. If hit don't need that, you won't need the pass. This page outlines what you get. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201751006-plex-pass-feature-overview/

As a boot drive they will most likely be fine if all other storage are on other volumes and you don't have heavy logging on. The thing you might have an issue with is the USB hard drives. Getting some of those to pass through is not easy and I couldn't get my 5 bay enclosure to pass through as it would only randomly see 2 of the 5 drives.

I think this depends somewhat on the settings. Yes, technically it can be better but with the right settings even on a 4k monitor it should be indistinguishable from the raw version or darn close to it.

I agree. This is better for iscsi in this case. The performance will be faster than smb and I have seen a number of things you just can't install on a network share. Not everything though but the stuff I tried most wouldn't. The only downside is it can't be accessed by multiple machines at the same time. You probably don't want that for games as files get locked while running to their processes on many cases as well.

Are those drops happening when it starts copying a different file? When this happens what is your cpu usage like? This can be caused by a range of different things but to mention the limitations of the way Explorer handles smb. Can maybe try with teracopy as well.

What happens when you try? Have you checked the plex log files?

Exactly, I would try doing this.

I agree, it does so smart. It might have something to do with your setup if it isn't working. Particularly if it is visualized. Ecc is also just a nice to have. Been running without it at home for over 6 years and I haven't had any problems. Do not over clock when using a storage solution. I had issues when testing if pbo was enabled. After turning that off it has been perfect. Disable over clocks and check your hardware and cables.

While I don't have that many disks and it depends on the iops you need what I have running is truenas with one pool being spinners for stuff that doesn't benefit from high ipos and then an all ssd pool that does for vms and the like. But to convert to that you would need to migrate off all the data to setup truenas. Sort of depends on your use case. The downside with Unraid is you only get single disk performance. Whereas with Truenas it can be multiplicative. On my spinners I can write to them at over 800 mbps sustained.

I would suggest trying truenas scale. That can handle the storage and zfs parts and you can use their built in apps for some things and set paths for them and setup a vm for the game server side of things. I would also put next cloud in an Ubuntu vm and use their aio docker setup as that works very well and can be configured easily for daily backups.

The promotion method is actuality pretty easy. Especially if you are using a pcie hba to pass through. There are a number of guides on YouTube that can guide you through it.

Non ecc ram is totally fine. ECC is a nice to have but unless it is in a higher interference environment it is highly unlikely that it would be an issue. I have had many systems with basic ddr4 ram for years and never ram into issues with any of them.
