#Plex #Server #Mistakes
I’m running Linux lite on a 16yr old core 2 with 8gb of ddr2. Firefox running on the desktop with Plex media server in the background 700 MB average . Never goes above one gigabyte ram usage. Been running plex server on that old Dell OptiPlex coming up 10 years and it just won’t die. It although it can only transcode 1 or 2 streams at once it generally doesn’t do any transcoding because all my media is 1080 and streamed original quality. It manages simultaneous 4 streams in my house easily. 6tb nas drive and 128gb ssd for OS. Its only job is to be a plex server and has never failed me since paying $50 for it off eBay 10 years ago. The drives cost more than the pc lol
I am running plex ok with 2Gb of RAM
damn that seagate comment hits hard and true. Ive had so many of those die....
My experiences has been pretty flawless using an external 8tb hdd and trying plex for the hell of it. Granted it’s on my main pc, but I can just unplug the drive after existing the plex app on my tv or is there a special process ? Also my external drive is on top of my desk, not on the case (just clarifying for my setup).
video starts at
I can't afford to raid SSDs, so here's what I'm impleneting to protect my metadata
My server has 88GiB Ram. Is that enough?
Plex has failed me so much that I switched to JellyFin and never looked back
You cannot say RAM does not matter and then say, 16 Gb is the BARE MINIMUM but 8 Gb is also fine. How is anybody supposed to draw useful information from statements like that?
Anyone know if dual Xeon E5-2680's is enough jumping off point for a PLEX server to handle a handful of 4K streams?
Should I setup Plex server to prioritize 16 core ryzen cpu or 8GB 40-series or 7000-series.
3 or 4 times I have heard you say to backup Metadata but I don't see a video???
im seeing this video 3 years later and i have had every single headache he mentioned. especially the SATA cables, ive knocked them loose many times, however he is quite right, i've changed SATA cables and found out that 2TB drives i thought were bad, powered right up, the file structure in tact and all the files there. i have since moved on to using toaster type hard drive bays. and they are the best. unless that HDD or SSD is completely dead, it powers up and runs !!
ok, running plex on ubuntu 20.04. set the drives to mount automatically using the gui disk tool. Now plex will not see the drives. any suggestions?
the price of the Plex Pass is cheeky and that hardware transcoding does not work without as well
im using linux mint and i have a plex server and it will not see the external drive it's driving me nuts
Mine can do 8gb ram but one slot is broken 6gb it is, i have a legacy gateway sx2840.
Hi Jason, great video thank you! I am planning to build a Plex server on my Sinology NAS 1621+ (AMD Ryzen V1500B, 2.2 GHz (4 Core) 32 GB RAM, 14TB HDDs and 2 x 512 SSD Cache) which should be fine from an performance perspective. Usage currently is at 1-2% CPU and 2-3GB RAM (out of 32GB) supporting 5 active Docker containers (MQTT, Node-Red, grafana, influxdb, iobroker for the smart home system). What worries me was the point number 2 "grafics card"! There is none, no dedicated card in the Sinology NAS. Will this be an issue or will the CPU cover it? Cheers and thank you!
Laughs in 256 gb of RAM. However it’s server RAM from DDR3
oh fuck...i literally mounted a seagate hard drive on top of my tower...
