Hey everyone,
You may have noticed some inconsistency with the uptime of the Plex Media Server recently. This is due to some on the fly fine tuning going on involving the hardware assigned to the server’s VM instance.
The NAS had 4 ethernet connections which were bonded via the QNAP control panel where the new server which also has 4 ethernet connections is bonded via ifconfig and this is where I found some issues with overhead and issues distributing load efficiently.
I was also attempting to implement remote transcoding which would allow multiple physical servers to work on transcoding together however with the recent dawn of v1.0 of Plex Media Server has thrown a wrench into the script which I haven’t been able to circumvent.
For now I’m going to say things are stable and quit messing with them.
