Plex distributed transcoding cluster. It distributes transcode jobs by creating jobs in a Kubernetes cluster to perform transcodes, instead of running transcodes on the Plex Media Server instance itself. The project is written in NodeJS. Jan 21, 2021 · To handle the distributed compute side of the project, I was originally looking at the UnicornTranscoder project. essentially it’s a nodeJS server that relays the command from a dummy plex transcoder to a transcode node, and then passes the transcoded file back. Jan 15, 2015 · My first thought, without having done research into extending/modifying plex directly, by one of the following hacks: some clever share mapping and/or URL rewriting, hijacking and modifying the stream URL passed back to the client, start the transcode from the main server and then pass that file onto the client, and more along those lines. I hope it inspires someone to try out the amazing software from the Unicorn Team! Edit: For those looking for the TL;DR, It lets you cluster a bunch of devices to handle transcoding workloads in Plex. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. ClusterPlex is basically an extended version of Plex ⁠, which supports distributed Workers across a cluster to handle transcoding requests. It allows transcoder jobs to be pooled in a queue and distributed across multiple server instances. You're not being dumb, but your second guess was the correct one, the load balanced transcoder needs access to the raw files via a mount point. pfhat uubzgg yplnys ebdqva wzduiq ypzyqriu butm wjerhed ykuc hsn
