In this video, I try to run as many 1080p videos from a Plex Media Server as possible to see how well Plex's hardware accelerated transcoding performs on Intel's Quick Sync. The Plex Media Server resides on a machine with Linux Ubuntu Desktop version 20.04, running on a ninth-generation Intel Core i5-9400 mounted on a Gigabyte B365M DS3H motherboard. I will be monitoring the dashboard statistics such as the CPU, memory and network usage, and Plex's Now Playing section.

I'll start off by running a Plex web player in a Brave browser window. But I won't stop at just one window - I'll have 18 instances of Brave on one screen, each playing a unique video from the Plex server. Since hardware transcoding is a paid feature of Plex, you will need Plex Pass if you'd like to replicate the testing on your end. #Plex #MediaServer #QuickSync
