Optimized Versions

[christianmerges]

When I try to generate optimized versions, only one movie is processed at once. Is it possible to let the worker do this job and for an example in idle time, let all the workers prepare optimized versions for movies?

I found a function to put more videos in the que, but it always failed with error, plex was unable to write to the harddisk. Anyway start optimization for only one movie works.

I mounded codecs directory, but it is empty. Maybe this is the issue.

in the console of the worker i have:

Codec libyop_decoder.so does not exist. Downloading... --2022-03-27 19:46:38-- https://downloads.plex.tv/codecs/62cc2bc-4278/linux-x86_64-standard/libyop_decoder.so Connecting to downloads.plex.tv (downloads.plex.tv)|188.114.96.128|:443... connected.

Why is the last line with the error, responding "Success"?

OK i fixed codec download by changing permission of codecs folder to 777

Yes! It would be amazing if Plex supported that.
We could take way more advantage of parallel workers
I even posted it on https://forums.plex.tv/t/optimize-transcode-content-in-parallel/547731
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to get Plex to actually process multiple items from the queue simultanously, even when there are plenty of resources to do so with multiple workers. Plex seems to be hardcoded to only support one at a time :(

You can have workers doing playback transcoding and another worker optimizing content, but that's about as far as Plex seems to support unfortunately.
