My "server" is an old Thinkpad T420 maxed out with 16GB RAM and a 1TB disk. Totally overloaded running a bunch of services across multiple docker-compose stacks.

What helped me the most with transcoding was not giving up until I got the relay function turned off. Since I run Plex in docker, Plex doesn't know the host's LAN IP. Once I published the laptop's IP in the custom URL, boom, that unlocked the full speed for me.

I'll have to look closer at that. I can direct play pretty much everything else but when I try to steam live TV it says transcoding is "forced" which doesn't make sense to me.

I'll check again and see how well it works. I'm slamming the laptop with ffmpeg on about 100 files right now, so it may not be an accurate test for another week or two.
