This is something that has been increasingly prevalent with my server, for the longest time I could torrent, have two people watching and everything’s fine, but lately, especially with specific shows, it will take upwards of a minute for a show to start.
I’ve looked into it and the culprit is ffmpeg most of the time, I assume this has something to do with the specific files not having transcoding “baked in” but I don’t know enough to know if that’s the case. Can anyone help me optimize my pipeline at all?
Check your disk access usage maybe? Like if you store things on an external drive with USB2 or something you’re gonna have a bad time with multiple videos/high bitrate stuff because you’re saturating the bandwidth of the connection
Disk usage is actually alright, but CPU usage hovers at a straight 100
