I dont have separate sections for 4K movies, they are in the same movie folder alongside the 1080 stuff. I don't bother getting movies made before 2005 in 4K. I have fiber so I have a pretty big/fast data pipe and my users can stream 99% of my 4K content with no problem. I do have the "Automatically adjust quality" setting on so if for some reason the client can't handle 4K it will transcode to 1080 but I've only seen that happen maybe 3 times this year. My synology has an intel chip so it can do hardware transcoding. I've got one user who is in the feds and watches on his phone so he is always transcoding down to 1080/480. I've been looking into installing an SSD in my Synology box and putting Plex and any caches on that since it will be read only and wont beat it up and that should improve the performance.
That doesn't look to complicated to get setup either. I really want to do something like this or really lock in on an older pc enclosure but it just seems daunting to get the right fit together.Get a das or nas enclosure
Saw this plex setup on reddit
Beelink Q14 (Intel 150) + Terramaster D6-320
Is really not complicated , the cheapest thing to do is get a mini pc like beelink $179 or if you already have a spare old pc you can leave on 24/7
If I don’t like the poster plex gives me, I look here for an alternative
I used to, but Plex will always go change my posters after I spend an hour customizing them. I believe it happens when it's doing nightly maintenance and it updates the metadata. There's a way to stop it from doing that, but I don't bother anymore. I've got like 1500 movies and don't have the patience/time for that.
Online it says 4/5 4K to 1080p transcodes streams at the same time

I'll change that password. Thanks for the info.
Man my people are hot. All but 2 of them have those janky ass roku tvs. Most have switched over to using their PS5s to watch Plex now. I saw it firsthand over my brother's house, the new interface is janky, searching forward/backward in a movie is broken, constants crashes, all kinds of shit. They really screwed the pooch with this update.
