![]() ![]() I've shut down the Plex Server on my PC and left it for BlueIris and some 'unmentionable' nzb things. I've had it for years just kinda sitting there but never really used it as I got in on Emby early at $10 lifetime. No great loss as the watched status was light because I've only been "using" Plex for 2 months since they threw me a $75 lifetime. My library is actually cleaner now and I'm going to fix it up in Emby too. I probably did something wrong and wasn't very successful since my folders were local and not network shares so I just started over on the other PC and am almost done. I tried to move my Plex Server per instructions on Plex Forums when I asked there. I cut it some slack because processing video from several cameras at once will take resources by default. The main thing you will suffer from is that you lose track of where you were regarding partially or completely watched shows.īTW, I have BlueIris "optimized" and use BVR format as well as run it minimized unless needing to access the console. Plex is on an entirely different server VM, so that my other applications don't bug Plex Media Server, and PMS doesn't bug them. MCEBuddy is on my Windows 7 VM which also is my DVR. I have Blue Iris on a PC (virtual, but still) that isn't doing anything else other than being my primary domain controller and performs workstation backups. This is why I have all my machines split out. On MCEBuddy, you can turn it down, but it really isn't all that useful in my experience. Comskip (and MCEBuddy on a PC) eat processor time for lunch. Go to Camera Properties, Record tab, then the Video File format and compression button at the bottom right.īut your biggest problem is what you've already discovered. Things like turning down the framerate to just what you really need (I record 4 fps and it worked out perfectly when I needed data for the law enforcement - yes they caught him), also make sure you are recording in Blue Iris DVR format - you have to set this for each camera independently. How to easily move the server configuration from a PC to a Shield or another PC? Of course I know I'll need to re-do my library and recording drive pointers but what about the rest of the configuration data?įirst off, Blue Iris is a real CPU hog, especially if you haven't tuned it properly (it doesn't come tuned out of the box). Thoughts? Recommendations? My gut says to put it on the HTPC or maybe the i3 that is basically never really used over putting it on the ShieldTV. Playback of stored content on this PC is beginning to suffer due to CPU overload I believe so I'm considering moving my Plex Server to either my ShieldTV (2015 16Gb), the HTPC or to barely used NUC5i3RYH that has a 250Gb SSD and 8Gb RAM. After that it is BlueIris and BlueIris Tools. Now I am and my CPU is maxed out at 90% to 100% when recording or running ComSkip with the top process being Plex Transcoder and Plex ComSkip. ![]() I just got PlexPass for $75 Lifetime a few months ago so before then I wasn't using the LiveTV / DVR functions. The second is destined to be removed from my Family Room as I now exclusively use the ShieldTV for most content except WMC on a Ceton Echo Extender. I run Plex Server, Blue Iris Server and have 18Tb of storage on the first mentioned PC. This is in addition to my comparable HTPC with 12 Gb RAM that runs WMC and extenders as well as my Emby Server which typically has CPU usage less than 25% when Emby is transcoding. Okay so my PC running Plex Server is an i5 4690k Devil's Canyon Win7Pro 圆4 with 16 Gb RAM. Mostly free, although a paid subscription gets you access to more features Easily share your media library with friends and family over the internet Plug-in support (Youtube, Daily Show, TED talks, etc.) Progress synced across all devices, so you can start playing something on your phone, and then pick up where you left off on your TV Any files your device does not support will be automatically transcoded Enormous number of devices supported (PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows phone, Roku, Android TV, Apple TV, Xbox, Playstation, and others as well as any device that supports DLNA) ![]() Excellent metadata scanner with support for movies, TV shows, and music Central management of media through your web browser, with all changes pushed immediately to clients Very easy to setup (no messing with VPN's, IP addresses, etc., Plex does all the hard work for you) All of your media instantly available to you anywhere in the world on your phone, tablet, and web browser Because I love Plex so much, I decided to make a list of a few of the great things about this media server application and HTPC front end: ![]()
