Plex transcoding hangs

[cyrus104]

When I don't have anything besides a plex app and running, I am getting lag all the time when playing 4K videos in a webui that transcodes to 1080p. In the past I haven't had any issues in the past. When I go into the the plex settings, I see it "says" it's still transcoding but the CPU utilization is pretty much zero. Rarely will it restart automatically and I need to refresh the browser, I've used Firefox and Chrome with the same issue.

I'm running the 21.08 Beta 1 that was auto updated. I have the plex Kubernetes app running with my plex pass code passed in. I have included my specs below for reference, but do not have a GPU installed for transcoding.

Specs:
CPU: Epyc 7282
RAM: 256GB
ZFS Pool: 6x 16TB RAIDZ2 with 1x Intel 905P SLOG

It might be relevant to add if you're using the official or TrueCharts version of the Plex App.
In case it's the TrueCharts App, it's best to ask for support from us directly (for contact details see: https://truecharts.org
It might be, in this case, that your resource limits are too low for the transcode you want to do.

I'm using the Official Plex, I had never added truechats until just now.
