Generally speaking, if you have two Plex apps requiring transcoded content at the same time, that will require about twice the CPU processing power compared to if there was only one app playing content. The most basic thing to remember is that the more Plex apps you have playing content at the same time, the more CPU power you’ll need.

The files typically have a 7.1, 5.1, and a few stereo audio streams for multi language support, as well as several subtitle files. Does anyone know the proper settings for something like Handbrake to transcode the file to something that can direct play on my roku tv and not need any encoding while preserving the resolution and the HDR color? These are approx. However, it seems the Plex server is having to transcode the 4k MKV file to stream to the TV and its causing occasional stutters and buffering.


When I stream them to my Element Roku 4K HDR tv, they play in 4K HDR as indicated by the little popup when HDR 10 info is detected by the TV. So I have some 4k HDR Blu-Ray rips on my Plex server. I wasn't sure if this was the proper place for this, so any mods, please move it if not.
